Valued at 250K. I'd be pissed too.

If I earned the damn thing don't tell me what I can and can't do with it.


Agreed. That is just odd.
I read this doesnt apply to coaches or players. Its only for front office personal, other people who work in the organization, Eddie Vedder and John Cusack.

UPDATE

The Cubs insisted the Hall of Fame controversy was much ado about nothing and that the ring agreement, which the club says does not apply to players, manager Joe Maddon and the coaching staff, was a way to assure the gifts would not appear on eBay or other internet auction sites, potentially lowering the rings' overall value.


If the Cubs are preventing them from being sold, then they literally have no value other than sentimental.

It's early, but Rondon has been proving me wrong so far.

I honestly thought the guy was done.

Would the ring contract affect the tax liability? If the Cubs gave someone a ring worth 10k, I assume there is a tax bill of several thousand, but if the Cubs state it has no value and can't be sold, would the recipient still owe Uncle Sam?

Nice comeback win down 5. Glad to see them do it to someone as opposed to having it done to them ala Pittsburgh. Get the one this afternoon now.

yeah, and it looks like the brewers' pitcher today can give up runs. i'd like to see 7 out of hendricks with minimal damage, and win like 9-3 or something.

going to cool down today though...50's?

Lackey's comments the other day imply that he thinks Thames has been getting some of Ryan Braun's juice.
