I guess winning is more important. Our society gets more fricked up each day.

no doubt about it. Society is fricked up

Too bad he's not going to the NL where he would have to bat.

If they sign him it will be for 1000 bucks and a plane ticket, then they can send him to BFE low A ball. They can then judge the reaction to it. If there is major push back then they just cut him and they are out a grand.

Good idea. It’s really a unique situation. I can’t ever remember such a talent, esp a pitcher, being unhirable like this. If he had merely sold drugs or even killed someone drunk driving he’d be forgiven.

Heimlich doesn’t deserve to play pro baseball

How's that knighting?

I don't think Kansas folks will like

I’m a Royals fan. They need pitching.

We don't need it in this way, no siree.

The NFL decided several years ago it was their job to be judge, jury, and executioner.

They decided that regardless of what the courts ruled, it was their job to determine guilt. The NCAA also seems to do this.

I don’t know many fans that really like that methodology.

With that said, I don’t want the MLB to go down that road. Too much does that stuff dominate the headlines. If guilty, he has to live with himself, and he will be judged by a higher power than the courts at some point.

The courts already had their say.

This isn't Roethlisberger or Winston where the league is going off on its own. It's been adjudicated in a court of law.
