Props to this cat for speaking truth. It’s too bad the message is lost on the average fan.
Not a sports person, so I don’t know if this dude has already made his fortune - but if he hasn’t, he’s definitely not gonna now.
He’s 36 and has made about 16 million over his career, there’s not much risk to his future here. Good on him though.
I’d hope that If he’s smart enough to feel tired of repping big oil, and continues to be good enough to play pro baseball for a while, I’m sure he can find a way to live a comfortable and happy life. If he starts actively attacking big oil… that might be harder…
They won’t risk it, and they’ll punish him immediately to keep him from getting too big to easily punish later without drawing attention to themselves. Remember that it’s all one league, and if he’s ousted from one team by those running the show, then he’s ousted from them all.
Props. He’ll only be a little bit less rich now.
