Today’s word of the day is ‘rhabdomyolysis’ as in a rare condition that cause your muscles to break down because of exertion. A 24-year old runner died during the NY Marathon, two miles from the finish. The lockout is almost here. A month away. A one-year, $23.5 million deal is on the table for eight different players. Is it worth it to take it this offseason? Free agency is here. 40-man rosters needed to be set on Monday by big league teams. There are some big names available to sign. Who gets a deal done before the December 1 expiration of the CBA? We need to talk about the posting system in MLB from Japan. Three major players from Japan have been posted and the rules are different this year.

The Contemporary Baseball Era Committee has announced eight finalists for the Hall of Fame. There are some huge names on the list, but not everyone will get in.

We have a trial on our hands! Do you remember Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz? Getting paid not to work. That’s the buyout market. No better job in sports than being a fired head coach with a buyout. Mike Norvell is getting $50 million to never coach at Florida State again.
