Is baseball already back in the steroid era??

Almost missed this in a chaotic December week, but Deadspin caught it.

Sourcing the New York Times (so you may have a soft paywall to deal with if you go to the article itself -- as well as the fact that they are clearly carrying water for MAGA League Baseball), Deadspin reported, through a Michael Schmidt article, that the Office of the Commissioner and the MLBPA are at odds over two major agents...

... and the fact that Sam and Seth Levinson may be covering up for at least one roided-up player through a doctor who went to prison in the Biogenesis situation.

And anyone who wants to tell you that this is any more than a power play by Rob "MAGA" Manfred is not paying attention.  He just wants more power over the players while giving the illusion, and just that, of being above the previous steroid era.

Apparently, this doctor, Juan Carlos Nunez, is supposed to be interviewed by the MLBPA, and they're refusing...

According to Forbes Magazine, the Levinsons have 70 baseball players in their employ, including (and stressing that the list does not imply they are the player involved -- but one of the larger list of 70 is!) :  Danny Duffy, Charlie Blackmon, Dustin Pedroia, David Wright, and Jon Lester.
