This could have been posted as a comment in the "other" thread, but today old Rich is back to his kinder, gentler personality. That's because he's addressing (IMO, rationally and correctly) the more general topic of MLB putting the screws to agents and their clients, free agent players.
There's information about "35 to 40" more players expected to glut the bear market on Friday when they are "non-tendered," and there's even (contradicting the columnist's usual stance) a Billy Beane quote suggesting J.P. should have been named Executive of the Year. Hints, presumably from the same sources, about John-Ford Griffin and Toe-Knee-Arm-Ass coming to Toronto. But you know R.G. will drink the vile potion again at any moment, and resume his monstrous, Jay-bashing rampage.
