Apparently Major League Baseball tried to pull a fast one on the Red Sox organization this week. Something about coaches and trainers not getting paid some extra dough for flying over the Pacific to play the A's in Japan.
Being the stand-up, do-gooders they are, the Red Sox threatened to simply not get on the plane unless Bud Selig got his checkbook out and took care of the staff. As of now, all is well.
Why these guys are getting an additional $40k on top of the dough they already get paid, I have no idea. The good news is they're now being "fairly" compensated for simply doing their jobs and will have the opportunity to really drink in all Japan has to offer.
$40,000 is a lot of bukakke.

some people in this country work hard 50 weeks out of the year and don't make 40k! maybe the players should each take a little chunk of there 40k and make a pool for the staff and coaches. spoiled as bitches.
i guess that 40k would really help feed their families, right spree?
