Braves Duped By Yanks

Interesting. Those dirty little ******s up in New York are at it again. I hate George Steinbrenner with a passion. He has no loyalty and no backbone.

In one of his quotes, he says he wants Sheff to "make Jeter and Giambi better." Jesus, who would want to play for this guy? I really am kind of disappointed in Gary's situation. He believed all the crap ol' Georgy Porgy told him and got himself into a bad situation. And even if the contract is legal, Sheff is not going to be happy there.

But, I find it interesting that the reason the Braves didn't try re-sign Sheffield was because of the crap last year with Maddux. And rightfully so. That $4 million they lost last year in payroll could have done some good this year. So, I really can't blame them for being cautious. And if New York gets ansy and turns towards Vladamir Guerrero, we could see Sheff's Chefs once again.

whether sheffield signs with the yanks or not, the braves didnt offer him salary arbitration, so i dont think theres any way he can resign with atlanta until may 1

Hmmm, guess I missed that, hahaha. But why May 1st? Isn't the season already started by then?

Alot of people believe the whole press with Sheffield isn't legit. The Braves planned to file for grievances against the Yankees when they did not offer him arbitration - now Sheff says the deal wasn't event complete therefore 'proving' there was nothing final between the Yanks and Shef. No final deal, no case for the Braves against the Yankees.

Braves declined to offer arbitration to outfielder Gary Sheffield.

The Braves apparently plan to file a grievance against the Yankees, believing that they've already in fact agreed to terms with Sheffield. The Braves might have a case, but the fact that they weren't certain enough that a deal was done to actually offer arbitration to Sheffield could work against them.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
