Quotes of the Day
“We would prefer to have a free-agent signing period, ideally probably in December with a deadline that drove people to make their deals, get things settled. We actually made proposals to that effect, to the MLBPA. They were not warmly received……..we’d rather have two weeks of flurried activity in December, preferably around the winter meetings.”
Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred

“Deadlines are death-lines to the players. It’s a death of their right (to free agency). It’s an artificial reason not to get your value. Teams cannibalize deadlines. Everything they would do would be around the deadline. ‘I’ll wait and get this value at this time, because I have a deadline,’ rather than, ‘What’s the player worth?'”
Agent Scott Boras

Saturday’s quiz
Who is the all-time leading scorer for the Los Angeles Lakers?
