Ha, Epstein you goober!

Yeah, that was pretty dumb to disclose your tactics like that. I'm certain that not only is that standard practice across MLB, but it has been for generations. But, you should never get caught doing it (Steinbrenner) and you should never brag about it.

That said, Crawford is awfully naïve if he believes that an organization would willingly hand over millions of dollars to one person without doing thorough research on what kind of person he is. Would anyone like to hand me $142 million over seven years based on what you've seen me write on Banter? I would certainly hope so, but I won't be shocked if you don't, even if you sent the Secret Service and the CIA after me.

And likewise, Carl, you should've been a little more interested in who you were signing with if that kind of thing bothered you.
