Last week, it was reported Wetzler used an adviser or agent to negotiate his contract, according to The Oregonian. Here's the wrinkle: It was the Phillies who told the NCAA about Wetzler's use of an agent for negotiations. Craig Calcaterra rightfully ripped into the Phillies for ratting out their own draft pick, who opted to return to school. Ruben Amaro Jr.’s response was a short one. If a number of teams began to engage in this type of behavior, it would create a scary precedent and a ridiculous amount of leverage of MLB teams in negotiations....

Contributing to Electronic Waste Problem This then contributes to the growing e-waste problem. If people held onto their smartphones for just one extra year this would reportedly be equivalent to taking 636,000 cars off the road in terms of the environmental damage it causes (or, in this case, wouldn’t cause....

The Democrat obtained an email from Tallahassee City Manager Anita Favors Thompson to the City Commissioners that revealed that information. She wrote in the email that the Tallahassee Police Department was referred to the case from FSU police. The TPD began an investigation, which included interviewing witnesses, but no longer received responses from the complainant, according to the Democrat. “Shortly thereafter a representative of the young woman’s family who is an attorney contacted TPD and said the young woman had changed her mind and did not wish to prosecute,” Favors Thompson wrote in the email....
