You guys are doing great with these chats. I feel like you are the best bargain in town, honestly.
Yep. And most of the players have mentioned how they and other players follow this site for news. Can ya get a better endorsement than that?
Jonny Gomes is a GREAT get … well done, guys!
Hope to hear a lot about the Boston Strong 2013 season.
Thank you so much for holding these chats, they are fantastic! Chipper actually answered one my questions; what a cool experience.
Thanks for all you do MLBTR!!! I’ve been a big fan for years now. Keep up the good work. You guys are my go to site for up to date player news. Love the chats too!
Can people please stop saying “Player x will sign with team y because he’s from there/went to college there?” Thanks.
We are very fortunate to have this site.
Cut Jones, he can’t even handle a simple pop up.
Yeah I 100% concur.with this assessment – Unfortunately & unarguably the least interesting, of all the chat sessions thus far.
Chats with current baseball announcers?
Why just current ones? Could you imagine how cool a chat with Vin Scully would be?
Bob Uecker would be epic
Oh h** yesh !!!!!!
Love the old school guys.
Get Ken Tremendous
Ozzie guillen
Awesome, thank you for compiling this list! Bookmarked.
Just curious – does MLBTR pay these guys anything? I’m thinking not, but wondering.
I personally enjoyed reading the transcripts of the chat sessions with former and current players. Thank you to those players who committed a short segment of valuable time time to the chats,, very much appreciated fellas..
I hope other former & current players, coaches, & managers will be inspired to participate in these informal & interesting sessions.
Also thank you Mr, Franco and MLBTR for providing this wonderful informal venue.
Waiting for Rob Refsnyder.
Be cool if their was one with Danny Graves
Rob Manfred? Tony Clarke? Stormy Daniels?
A cool $260,000 for her, but…hasn’t she suffered enough already?
Read headline as “List of MLB Player Cheats” at first.
Expected to see Bonds, Clemens, McGwire, Sosa, etc. I liked it. Name and shame.
Maybe if the lockout drags on long enough…
