Lawrence ranted:
"50% of MLB pitchers go on the DL every year these days because todays owners don't want to take a chance of being sued by one of these clowns who stub their toe, then are put on the 30 day DL. Doctors pay a ton of their salary for mal practice insurance, baseball owners don't want to have to do this and worse… then be sued for 200 million dollars because some pitcher wants to rip off an owner claiming his manager made him pitch when he was injured (and ruined his career) when he really wasn't. The justice system has become a sport like battle between two skillful lawyers and the one that impresses the judge the most wins. It's not a matter of who is right or wrong anymore. This is why most billionaires do not want to own a baseball team."
'others' responses:
Del- I see zero truth to that statement. Who said that?
When an MLB team comes up for sale, billionaires line up for
the chance to buy it. Owning a professional sports team is the ultimate status
symbol.
As far as the injury lawsuit goes, it hasn't happened yet to
my knowledge--A-Rod included. I think most players know that if you try a move
like that you better win the lawsuit because you'll never play in MLB again.
Del,
Today's baseball as in the past, MLB is covered by an
Anti-Trust Exemption which is in place so players and teams can’t sue each
other, and all the rules were held within. Otherwise there would be lawsuits
galore.
