once again, I'm overwhelmed by the response. today's newsletter wouldn't be possible without people across the country who trusted me to help them blow the whistle on MLB, a *multi-billion-dollar* business.

*new* from me:
As pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, three front office staffers spoke to me about helping Latino baseball players and their families navigate an America ravaged by ICE raids.
They say guidance from MLB has been “minimal” so their teams are getting creative.

How do MLB workers protect Latin players from Trump's ICE raids? By themselves.
Front office staffers told eyeblack about keeping immigrant players safe while league guidance is minimal and "Manfred kisses Trump's ass."

James Pearce was ramming his car into Rickea Jackson’s to prevent her from going to the police. Fled and then tried fighting off half the department. Horrific

Terrance Gore was the Braves player who Facetime’d Charlie Morton from the field after winning the World Series so Charlie could celebrate with the guys despite his broken leg.
RIP to by all accounts a legitimately great dude and teammate.

Unrivaled selling out its game in Philly is very good early omen for 2030 when the WNBA brings a franchise to the city.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

mini scoop:
After MLB's seized control of the player tracking tech biz, the league missed its Jan 15 deadline for approving vendors. Teams don't know long they can use their tech to scout players. Some firms don't know if they'll have a baseball business.
