@MLBPipeline @tigers @MudHens Unfortunately he was abysmal in his first go against big league pitching Hopefully he keeps raking in AAA, but I don't think they give him the promotion until June so they can manipulate the service time

Max Clark has reached based now safely 10 in a row and has hit in eight straight games. He also stole his fifth base, second in the IL. @MattMelzak on the call.

@Mason_Mt22 @tigersMLreport @MattMelzak That's what happens when you don't strike out, he's also hit a couple of bullets right at people. He hits the ball hard, I wouldn't worry about it. Check his exit velos.

@tigersMLreport @MattMelzak has most of his hits been slap shots or line drives like this. I love the ops just questionable on his ability to drive the ball

We live in a world that hates Christ and those who believe in Him, but that's to be expected. Just as He was persecuted, so will we be. Consider me a Jaden Ivey fan.

Tigers prospect Max Clark is off to a hot start with the AAA Mud Hens, hitting .304 with a .970 OPS. Defensively, he already has three outfield assists.

After going hitless in his last 11 spring training games, Max Clark is now hitless in his first two regular season games with the AAA Toledo Mud Hens. Perhaps the bling weighs him down.…

Pam Bondi still has to testify, under oath, in front of the Oversight Committee regarding the Epstein Files. This does not get her out of that bipartisan, lawful subpoena. We will see her soon.

DOOCY: I just got off the phone with President Trump. We have a big scoop. Pam Bondi will soon leave her job as the attorney general, she is going to get a different job within the administration. And in an interim role, she will be replaced by Todd Blanche

@JasonKelce Honor your contract. Return the money that is owed. The franchise will find other ways to benefit and compensate you in retirement.

This is interesting. It feels like it’s obvious that Frank retired because he was physically fighting through injuries and pain, and it got to a point that he no longer could play the game in an enjoyable, effective, or healthy way. The whole purpose of a signing bonus is to be a guarantee up front that insures a salary irregardless of performance metrics, or most importantly injuries that could compromise your career in the future. What makes this interesting is that Frank likely retired “voluntarily”, meaning, he wasn’t declared medically unfit to play by a doctor, which allows the team to ask for a prorated amount of his signing bonus back. Had he been medically deemed unfit to play football by a doctor before he retired, the team wouldn’t be able to recoup part of the signing bonus. Let me say this first, if a player truly just retires without reason, or because they’ve lost the desire to play, I completely get and acknowledge teams should be able to recoup compensation when players don’t fulfill there contractual obligations and agreements. However, Frank was known for being hurt and playing through injuries most players wouldn’t play through constantly. Broken foot, a torn pec, multiple knee injuries, back issues. There was always something, and I’m sure he was continuously dealing with multiple ailments to try and continue playing the game. His body clearly had deteriorated to a degree that made football no longer a viable option, physically, and probably mentally. In my opinion, the signing bonus is supposed to protect players from future physical ailments limiting their availability on the field, that’s one of the reasons you want more guaranteed money upfront. So while I get that the team has a right to ask for money back, in the spirit of the agreement, I think it’s bullshit Frank is being asked to return money. This was clearly a player that the game had physically taken its toll on, and his body was clearly no longer holding up to the rigors of the NFL. It wasn’t just some player deciding he didn’t want to play anymore, it wasn’t that simple, and these signing bonuses are there to protect players from the inevitable injuries they incur on the field.
Ari Meirov@MySportsUpdate

The #Lions made Frank Ragnow return part of his signing bonus after retiring early, continuing a franchise policy that dates back to Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson, per President Rod Wood, via @DaveBirkett: “Our precedent goes all the way back to Barry Sanders… And I think the reality is, they’re not paying back their money, they’re returning our money, because they were paid in advance for services that they hadn’t completed.” More here: freep.com/story/sports/n…

@RMiller88841 @Jason_OTC You obviously don't understand the cap, nor do you understand how to prudently balance the financial present with the future. Good thing you're not the GM.

@Oblong987 @Jason_OTC Bullshit lions aren't even using the cap space as is and if they wanted an extra 3 million in cap space they would have restructured goff fully instead of leaving 13 million. Yall pathetic fans make excuses for this joke of a franchise.

@GoldenCarl82 @Jason_OTC Sure it is, it applies to the cap when collected. And are you sure the benefits provided after retirement don't far outweigh any returned contractural funds? This is much ado about nothing.

@Oblong987 @Jason_OTC “which they have done.” After messy public feuds, they pay retired stars to keep them around as public ambassadors. “Competitive advantage” when? 3 years from now? Because it’s certainly not bringing any competitive advantage this year or next
