Will the Gambler deal the Cards a bad hand?
BTW, here's another gyroball article.
And Peter Gammons is reporting that:
The new [baseball labor] agreement will likely end draft choice compensation for losing free agents, move up the contract tender date from around Dec. 20 to early December, and other small alterations. No pay-for-performance. No salary cap. Just labor peace and a lot of money.
However, Ken Rosenthal is reporting that:
The [new] deal will not eliminate draft-pick compensation for departed free agents, but the current plan will be modified.
