MILTON BRADLEY RUMORS

Professional baseball is one of the purest meritocracies in the American job market: if someone possesses baseball talent, odds are that they will be tendered a job offer. But baseball reflects American society, and like all other sectors of American society, baseball has a history of discrimination which it still has to deal with. In previous columns for Fangraphs, I’ve discussed...

The Colorado Rockies were spotted talking to the agents representing angry outfielder Milton Bradley. The question is…why? Milton Bradley is not only a head case, but he’s a liability. He will eventually snap and someone will be harmed seriously. If it’s a heckling fan? That’s a major issue. The Colorado Rockies have tried to surround their organization with high quality...

Milton Bradley's latest transgression may be an all-time low even for an outfielder who has had his share of troubles, most of which have stemmed from an uncontrollable anger. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Bradley was arrested Wednesday after allegedly swinging a baseball bat at his wife. The 33-year-old was booked on suspicion of felony assault by Los Angeles police, according...

Former Mariners outfielder Milton Bradley is in trouble once again. He was arrested for allegedly swinging a bat at his wife during a dispute.

The Seattle Mariners called every team in baseball to see if they would be interested in trading for Milton Bradley. Apparently no one wanted the perennial bad boy of baseball on their roster.

Now, it’s the Seattle Mariners who have had enough.  Milton Bradley has been designated for assignment which is a nice way of saying: “you’re fired!”  That’s not easy to do when you owe a guy $13 million this year. The 33-year-old journeyman with the million dollar talent and the 2 cent brain was hitting just .218 this year with 2 homers and 13 RBI.  That’s not exactly...

As you probably know, Milton Bradley is a gigantic asshole. He's a clubhouse cancer, he whines constantly, he's a dickhead to fans, he's a dickhead to women, etc.He's also been a ****** baseball player(but was one of the best hitters in the American League with the Texas Rangers the season before) since he was handed a 3-year/$30 million contract from the Chicago Cubs in the offseason leading up
