May 13, 20206 yr From Ken Rosenthal: [MEDIA=twitter]1260627627506896900[/MEDIA] About 40 percent of #Marlins baseball operations employees will be furloughed June 1, sources tell The Athletic. Total expected to be between 90 and 100. Team paying employees through May, expects to cover health benefits of those furloughed through October. Evaluating monthly.
May 14, 20206 yr Pissed me off how Ken did that. Why single out the Marlins first? It wasn't even a full minute between tweets, why not say "multiple teams planning to furlough ..." nope, gotta take the quick easy cheap shot on us first. ESPN of course ran with it.

You know I had the athletic for a year but eventually I got tired of seeing some of the bullshit their authors were putting out and said I’m not paying to see my teams ridiculed when I can see it for free.
May 14, 20206 yr I think the specific news was leaked by a Marlins source about the Marlins only so that's how Ken reported it. It's not on Ken how people read it.
May 14, 20206 yr Author You know I had the athletic for a year but eventually I got tired of seeing some of the bullshit their authors were putting out and said I’m not paying to see my teams ridiculed when I can see it for free. Yep, I let my subscription lapse as well.
May 14, 20206 yr And anyone who really thinks this is only a Marlins issue is a real idiot. This isn't as dumb as the typical Marlins bashing.
May 14, 20206 yr Yep, I let my subscription lapse as well. Yea but that's also partly due to laziness.
May 14, 20206 yr Yep, I let my subscription lapse as well. There’s some good stuff on their atleast on my hockey teams side but it just wasn’t worth the price. Alittle more behind the scenes stuff but Nothing groundbreaking.
May 14, 20206 yr Author Yea but that's also partly due to laziness. How would you know if I'm lazy or not
May 14, 20206 yr How would you know if I'm lazy or not Because you were obviously too lazy to include the question mark at the end of this post.
May 14, 20206 yr I looked at the responses to Ken's tweet and the Marlins bashing is very little so I do think people get what's going on here. Of note there's a dude replying to every response about Jeter not doing his part with a link to the article saying Jeter gave up his salary for this. A couple even replied that they were pleasantly surprised to that .
