GOODYEAR, Ariz. It was expected that the Indians would be making their first big round of Spring Training cuts in the near future, but it was less expected that Mike Freeman’s name would pop up on that list.
The Tribe prioritizes talking to veterans on Minor League deals as early in camp as possible so that they can find homes elsewhere if the team knows they would not make its roster. The Indians did that on Thursday with outfielder Billy Hamilton. Freeman, the utility man for the last two seasons, was informed that he was traded to the Reds in exchange for cash considerations on Friday, before the Indians 9-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Colorado’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, SB19-085 (the Equal Pay Act), went into effect on January 1, 2021. Colorado’s new law follows a string of laws in other states seeking to expand the protections related to equal pay, including widening the scope of employees who are covered and narrowing the affirmative defenses for employers. However, Colorado’s law pushes the pay equity landscape into fairly new territory by requiring that employers (1) detail compensation and benefits information with each job posting and (2) post all promotional opportunities. The provisions of the Equal Pay Act create significant compliance burdens for employers, creating, in other words, a very expensive, ill-fitting suit.

Seemingly every year, the Cleveland Indians trade an All-Star caliber player away, and every year pundits decry their cheap ways, predicting this will be the move that sends the franchise into a funk. But more often than not, the player they send away turns into a pumpkin, the prospect haul turns out to be pretty good, and they seemingly find a guy off the street to replace him with a performance just as good.
In the past two years, the Indians have traded away Trevor Bauer, Corey Kluber, Mike Clevinger, Carlos Carrasco, and Francisco Lindor, and allowed Brad Hand and Carlos Santana to walk without any compensation in return. And yet, they still have a pitching staff the envy of baseball, and an MVP candidate in the middle of their lineup. Reports of the demise of the Cleveland Indians have been wrong for years, and they may very well be wrong again this season.
Bauer shuts eye, pitches shutout ball
What’s that piece of advice Little League coaches always tell their kids keep your eye on the ball, right? Trevor Bauer provided a new twist on that idea. Eager to challenge himself in a spring training start, the new Los Angeles Dodgers ace kept his right eye closed while pitching out of a first-inning jam Saturday.
