Welcome to the "bad guy" club, baseball players. You're now as bad as anyone.
After MLB commissioner Rob Manfred went on ESPN and said he was not confident there would be a 2020 season, players took to social media to rip him and baseball owners.
If you were to ask the average baseball fan about how well commissioner Rob Manfred is doing his job, you'd likely get responses that run the gamut. If you were to ask Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer, your answer would be a little bit more definitive. And it wouldn't be very nice.
"It's the least marketable. It's because you make stupid decisions about how you market the players."
Through the madness of Trevor Bauer's outburst, the way Terry Francona handled the incident was perhaps slightly overlooked.
Chris Sale can now count himself among the targets of Trevor Bauer.
A quick look at your fantasy baseball league standings will tell all you need to know about your chance at winning the title. If you're close to the top, do not stop tinkering.
Whatever you do, don't Tweet at Curt Schilling about Trevor Bauer's bloody finger.
Most teams in MLB have played close to 40 games at this point of the season, meaning the fantasy baseball season is one quarter over. If you've been waiting for that veteran to come around and start hitting, it's time to give up on the dream. If that pitcher still has an ERA way north of five runs per game, you may need to look elsewhere for wins and strikeouts. This is the time of the year when trends become permanent, really. Sticking too long with players headed for bad seasons only can hurt your team.
It's still early in the season, and you don't want to give up on key players too soon — even if they're slumping through the first two weeks of the season. But smart fantasy baseball owners also want to make sure they grab rising stars while they can — and before it's too late.
The fantasy baseball experts at CBSSports.com break down who to start and who to sit for the upcoming week.
Zach McAllister should break 200 if he stays healthy this year, which will be a boon to the back end of the Tribe's rotation.
