Verlander is one of my favorite players ever, but he is going to get some tricky questions this year asking him to reconcile his public statements about different kinds of cheating and what went on with Astro's.
He was forced to backtrack, MLB had to come out and say it was BS, Yahoo picked it up on their front page before the backtrack and others believe this crap.....I hope he sues his ass. Let a judge decide if it has merit. It was a very serious charge and deserves to be treated as such.
only if Trout is squeaky clean. Discovery is a B%tch.
All the reasons above are why Trout would have little success with a defamation suit. Add to it the fact he's a public figure, and he has virtually no chance of winning.But if he wants to try and make a bunch of rich lawyers richer, he's free to do so.
Which is exactly why so many people want these laws changed because people go off with claims and rarely get punished for it. REFORM

1. It's #fakenews because you have no idea how defamation law works.2. It's #fakenews because there aren't "so many" people that want to change federal law because someone misstated something about Mike Trout3. It's #fakenews because a letter to the editor published by the WSJ is hardly evidence of "So many" people wanting something. Truth is, I'm aware of no pending federal legislation that would change libel/defamation law ... despite "so many" people demanding it.(side note: fun how quickly Cheeks is willing to cite the media when it suits him)
It was one example, do you really think it is the only example? Lol.
Carlos Beltran's "niece" appears to be a internet troll Incarcerated Bob.https://www.thedailybeast.com/did-this-notorious-troll-dupe-mlb-fans-and-players-into-believing-conspiracies-about-astros-sign-stealing?ref=home
Move to England. Enjoy their loose defamation laws for a bit.Why my countrymen are so eager to destroy the 1st amendment to defend people more powerful than they will ever be, I will never understand.
I want to be like Europe in so many ways.....
In actual baseball stuff... the Nolan Arenado/ Rockies relationship seems to be at a breaking point. This could get interesting.
Hmmmmm. Who could use a 3B and barely spent in FA this year?
I guess never say never, but doesn't feel remotely likely. He's worth it, but that opt out looms large.
