It’s So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! First up, someone asked me about an owner being forced out. What would it take? How does it work? Someone asked me about how taxes work for athletes. Do they have to play in games to be taxed? Just show up? A correction for Coca? It can’t be! Why has no one asked Mookie Betts about that early season sickness? He lost a lot of weight. He has not been himself this year. Pat McAfee wanted to step up and pay for budget cuts. Hmm. What is a workout like for a player that wants to be signed in season?

We have the numbers on some first round picks in the MLB Draft. The Nationals are giving Eli Willits nearly $3 million under slot. Why is that? Scottie Scheffler wins again.
