So what does an actual ex-major league baseball general manager feel about a player saying he was given a gargantuan long-term contract based on "past performance" only? Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s shocking comments in a Spanish-language interview that came out on Wednesday have the whole baseball world shaking its collective head.

Somehow, someway, we are only days away from the onslaught of media day and the opening of training camps in the NBA. A summer full of ideas, concepts, defensive schemes and drawn-up sets is closer to coming to fruition. Optimism can come and go, but this is the time of year where you can say the majority of teams are going to feel the most hopeful. My mind starts to think about the contenders. Not just the Knicks, Spurs, and Thunders of the world, but the dark-horse contenders — the teams who...
