A former Los Angeles Angels employee filed an opposition on Thursday to a legal motion by the team and Major League Baseball for trying to dismiss a defamation complaint after he was fired last March.
According to court documents obtained from the Los Angeles Times, Brian Bubba Harkins, the Angels visiting clubhouse manager who allegedly aided opposing pitchers in obtaining illegal substances to put on baseballs, said many Angels pitchers used his substance, which included rosin and pine tar, before being dismissed for giving the concoction to visiting pitchers.

[Prospects1500] Arizona Diamondbacks 2021 Top 50 Prospects - The Diamondbacks system is vastly underrated.

From Corbin Carroll’s 20/30 potential to Kristian Robinson’s 40 home run ceiling to Alek Thomas’s all-around game, there are fantasy gems all over the place.
