Top 5 draft pick, top 10 prospect Kyle Tucker and minor league free agent Jose Siri are not exactly comparable situations.

4-Day School Weeks in Texas Panhandle
Too late to edit, but I meant to add that’s based on a faulty premise anyway. They’re not actually working less. The school day and year are longer to compensate.

4-Day School Weeks in Texas Panhandle
That’s not happening. One of the best paying districts in this area has been doing 4 day weeks for many years now. It is done primarily for budget reasons, sure, but no one is cutting teachers salaries.

Gurriel makes 8 million , is in the final year of his deal, and Houston is $30+ million under the tax threshold. That’s just pure nonsense, even before you get to his standing in the clubhouse.

It’s not about length of game so much as lack of action. An emphasis on 3 true outcomes+base hits being gobbled up means that there’s nothing going on except increasingly longer at bats most of the time.
