A very imminent situation in Major League Baseball could have far-reaching implications...

A Federal judge, today, upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit by over 100 fantasy baseball players with DraftKings against the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Houston Astros, and Major League Baseball over how the league handled the sign-stealing scandal of those three teams -- as a function of Daily Fantasy Sports.

This, of itself, is no surprise.  Mayer:  You have NO LEGAL RIGHT WHATSOEVER to a legal, lawful, or fair contest.

In fact, THIS ALSO EXTENDS TO THE PLAYERS.  Mike Bolsinger had HIS lawsuit thrown out, claiming that not only did a large inning due to sign-stealing cause his release from his team, but it eventually ran him out of MLB entirely.  (He has never pitched in the bigs since, two years in Japan...)

It's the other part of this which has hit headlines:  During the process of the lawsuit, MLB letters to the three teams were made part of discovery during the case -- each side discovers the other's evidence.  (It's one of the main reasons many lawyers try to settle cases, because "Discovery is a bitch.")

Two years ago, the letters of the Astros and the Red Sox were made confidential -- and, after an argument by Yankees' counsel, the judge in the case disallowed the release of the letter to the Yankees...

That is, until today.

In the next two weeks, it does appear that the public WILL be able to see MLB's letter to the Yankees, which will indicate the extent MLB had as to knowledge of sign stealing within that organization.  The big question here is the public statements of Fuck Rob Manfred vs. what he actually knew in private.

I expect more than one bombshell here, indicating Manfred's continuing efforts to direct Baseball to what I call The Manfred Six:  Yankees, Red Sox, Astros, Cubs, Cardinals, Braves.

But AGAIN, I have to state this openly:

It is completely legal for a sports league to rig it's games.  No one, not even the players, is entitled to a legal, lawful, or fair contest.
