Just found out the Ortiz thing was part of MLB trying to clean up the game. Players were offered anonymity and immunity for coming clean about steroid use and STOPPING. The list of players was leaked, which is why we know he was on there. So that might be why he was given a pass over Bonds, Clemons, Sosa, McGuire, etc.
They say Pete Rose isn't in the HOF, not because he gambled on games, but because he lied about it and wouldn't own up to it.
Sounds a lot like how Bonds has been handling his situation...

Ortiz says he never used. The test says he was. So was he lying?
It's not me, it's someone else.

No fucking idea. I saw that info in a Twitter thread of people arguing about it all and the info was from a credible article (not from something like yankeesrule.com). Didn't both reading it, just the summary.
Tried googling it all just now and there's so much conflicting information. Everyone that was on the ballot this year tested positive during this anonymous test in 2003, including him. However, was he actually on the list? He doesn't deny it, but former MLB commish Manfried does.
Cheaters shouldn't be in any HOF. End of story.

Yankees were stealing signs and everyone's been trying to keep it hush hush.
Does anyone in baseball not cheat?

Trevor Bauer suspended for TWO SEASONS for sexually assaulting and being violent with a single woman.
Wow. The Cleveland Browns and Deshaun Watson can't be thrilled about that news.

I don't love the 2 year ban based on this.Bauer, 31, was accused of sexual assault by a San Diego woman who requested a restraining order and essentially alleged that he took consensual rough sex too far over the course of two encounters last April and May. An L.A. judge denied the woman a permanent restraining order in August, and the L.A. County District Attorney's Office declined to file criminal charges in February. But MLB, which has the autonomy to suspend players without a criminal conviction, also looked into at least one other incident of alleged sexual assault with a woman from Ohio.
Yeah, this is crap.At the conclusion of a four-day hearing on Aug. 19, L.A. Superior Court Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman dissolved the temporary restraining order, ruling that Bauer did not pose a continual threat to the woman and that her injuries were not the result of anything she verbally objected to before or during the encounter, pointing to texts from the woman in which she asked to be choked out.
The judge said the "injuries as shown in the photographs are terrible," but added: "If she set limits and he exceeded them, this case would've been clear. But she set limits without considering all the consequences, and respondent did not exceed limits that the petitioner set."
It's not me, it's someone else.

100% agree. Must be something else behind the long suspension? Or is baseball taking a stand against rough sex?
I know he's appealing. I cannot imagine the player's union is going to be cool with a player being suspended that long, especially based on the stuff you quoted above.

And he's already missed ~100 games. This is dumb.
He spent the last 81 regular-season games on administrative leave, plus an additional 18 to begin the 2022 season.

The Reds just no hit the Pirates, but lost 1-0.

Letter to Congress asking for minor league players to stop living in poverty.
I truly do not understand how baseball has so much money to throw around on top stars, so starving the bottom ones makes sense.
They can't fill parks and nobody watches. Their core demographic listens to games on the radio and reads about them in the newspaper. How do they make money?

Minor leaguers vote to join union.
MLB has NBA sized contracts and NFL sized rosters with MLB fan support. It's going to be interesting to see what happens if this move really bumps their operating expenses.
