And I mean Following reports that MLB commissioner Rob Manfred held a face-to-face meeting with MLBPA head Tony Clark in Arizona, MLB Network’s Jon Heyman tweeted that the two sides were finally closing in on an agreement to start the season.
It was about his impending free agency next winter, so Heyman doesn’t really make sense in his response to Donaldson.I’d link to the original report, but this is what you see when you click on the link:Good for Donaldson for speaking up.
The Indians will look to replicate what they did on Friday night, beating the Cardinals 14-2.Carlos Carrasco (2-3, 4.50 ERA, 39 SO) will get the nod for the Indians and Jack Flaherty (2-0, 1.98 ERA, 12 SO) will head to the mound for the Cardinals.Everything you need to know to catch all the MLB action tonight is below!

I love Twitter. Expanded playoffs a part of this. But, briefly, there was hope on Wednesday.
We saw it today when In today’s world, journalists can be held accountable for their fuck ups, because athletes can just call them out in a public forum, whereas in the old days, a false report would be handled internally and the public may never even know that a false report had been swept under the rug.Not on Josh Donaldson’s watch.
The key players are understandably being cautious in light of the difficulty of these negotiations, but deal is at hand. — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) June 17, 2020 As part of the pending agreement to play the 2020 season between MLB and the players union, the union has agreed to waive any grievance.
Don’t say s*** until there’s a done deal period.Yet, Heyman’s report did more than enough to get the hopes up of baseball fans across the internet.Good thing MLB acted like idiots and wasted a month or more when they could have been ramping up to play. But a pathway to a deal does exist.MLB players were also confused by Heyman’s reporting as several tweeted that they hadn’t seen any proposal from the owners.Y’all need to stop leaking false information and getting everybody’s hopes up. If a player has a bad game, they get chewed out if they’re not standing in front of their locker after the game to get crucified.

So that makes what happened on Twitter … Clint Frazier sprinted home from third and easily made it by the time Wilson Ramos tracked down the ball, and the Yankees walked off with a 2-1 win.The Cleveland Indians will meet the St. Louis Cardinals for some interleague action on Saturday afternoon from Busch Stadium. Basically, the MLBPA had just received a proposal. Very positive words. There would also be an expanded postseason.Breaking: MLB and players union are closing in on an agreement to play the 2020 season, via players. News always breaks there first, and athletes are more transparent on social media than they ever are in front of the actual media. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2020/06/mlb-mlbpa-reports-twitter-heyman-fans-confused-reaction-deal External links.

I’m sure there have been many times when athletes have had to helplessly sit back, as news reports circulate that either make the athlete look bad or create a false narrative that shouldn’t exist, and said athletes haven’t had a platform to set the record straight.Even now, athletes have a platform to do such a thing and they still don’t for whatever reason.
Some people hate it, some people don’t use it at all, but if you’re a sports fan, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t be on it.
Other issues, too.
MLB knows players must get full pro rata.
We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. MLB insider Jon Heyman reported that "at least a couple" of Cardinals players visited a casino, which led to MLB "tightening" a rule about personnel leaving team hotels while on the road.
Yesterday, Jon Heyman, who has already gotten called out on the blog today for a completely separate issue, reported that Donaldson was looking to cash in big as a free agent next winter, ... Donaldson took exception to the report, and took it straight to Heyman on Twitter.

Martinez, Clevinger, Minor and More 75756A5E-120A-4932-810C-2FD980DB785E By Jordan Cohn I understand that making big demands of the Blue Jays and wanting to cash in big time as a free agent are two separate things, but nobody took Heyman’s report as Donaldson was looking for big money as part of some sort of extension with Toronto.
