Ole Mickey makes the news again.

I don’t think they’ll be fired for this, unless more comes out about their direct knowledge. The main story discussed that they did know about wasn’t harassment (angry husband of cheating wife).

I don’t see how Francona didn’t at least know that Calloway was a scum bag, though. And his press conference today was awful.

Organization hiring an outside lawyer to make the accusations go away is not great. Tito definitely knew about all of it, if the players knew. And the players knew because of the “where’s the beef?” stuff.

Francona's son sounds like a douchebag.

Thought the same thing.

Looking forward to this team leading the league in losses when pitching gives up 3 runs or less

Where's Jack Heidemann when you need him.

Anyone see Lindor was complaining about people in Cleveland calling him Frankie? He called the fans lazy. I'm pretty sure even Tito called him that. Weird thing to bring up, and seems like he's just taking a shot at Cle.

Frankie was so likable his first few years, but he has taken a turn for the worse his last few years.

Tribe-Angels on STO in a minute.

Dealt Mike Freeman to Reds.

Brian Shaw is back.

I'd rather have Chief Wahoo back.

Tito is super annoying with player options. No chance Bauers should be starting over Bradley.

Tito is super annoying with anything roster wise. He shouldn’t be allowed to pick his players, just manage who Antonetti picks for him.

Both will probably account for about the same number of wins this year.

I agree with that, but Shaw will account for many more losses.

Plutko traded to Orioles. Player later or cash.

I don’t understand the Plutko trade. (head scratching)

I don't get it either. We got nothing back. If nothing else, he gives us depth when someone gets injured.

Making roster room........Kipnis just got cut by Atlanta.

Also, it looks like Thursday’s opener will be a crappy weather day.
