Yes, ’tis the season for trades and signings and big news – and the Stanton-related news-of-the-day will crush this op-ed post, but that’s okay – this is a message that will linger for a while.

Professional football is taking big hits this year – for news both on the field and off. I won’t discuss the kneeling protests, but I would like to suggest that there’s a whole ‘nother issue that might very well free up a lot of athletes to consider baseball instead.
