They chose to pay him $40M. They may not have known heād get suspended but they certainly knew what kind of person they were hiring.

Thatās just it, heās not suspended. Heās on āadministrative leaveā, which means they have to keep paying him. But true, they knew who they were getting. Maybe not that he is a rapist, but they knew who Trevor Bauer is.

This amuses me
Man, it would be so amazing if a bunch of roller hockey chicks made the team find yet another name. The Steamers is the obvious choice, a tribute to the seagoing vessels that once visited that proud Lake Erie port.

That is not the first image I get when I combine āsteamersā with āClevelandā.
The more meanings, the more marketing opportunities.

This is great. I hope they win the ensuing lawsuit and that Cleveland is forced to take up the only name that makes any sense whatsoever; The Spiders.

Thatās funny that they thought $10,000.00 would be a sufficient amount. And by making an offer, they acknowledged the roller derby teamās ownership. Now theyāre fucked.

Didnāt even think of this. Makes it so much funnier
Cuyahoga Fire was my first choice, Cleveland Spiders 2nd
Twice. Tying the world record for the number of times a body of water has caught on fire. Co-holder? Houston ship channel.
Kinda reminds me of the Ghostbusters fiasco . Although, at least Columbia Pictures had the decency to make a serious offer.
Unbelievableā¦or believable I guess is more like itā¦
Now is the time that they break the news that Taubman was reinstated by MLB last year. Still us against everyone else!
Letās not mention any of this for a week or so.
Not that it will matter necessarily, but thereās definitely no there there. He apologized, made amends to the reporter, was fired, is not an Astros employee, etc.
In fact he isnāt working in baseball at all, he just isnāt suspended anymore. Nothing to see here.
That this is masquerading as any kind of story at all while the Yankees letter remains mysteriously sealed is beyond fucked up.

Embrace the hate.
I hope the Astros win it all give them all a big shit burger to eat.
