San Francisco Call, November 16, 1912: Jean Dubuc, star pitcher of the Detroits during the last season, admits that he has received an offer from a representative of the Paris club of the French Union Baseball league to coach that nine for a period of five years, the sum offered being $3,000 more than he has asked the Detroit club to give him next season.
...
Dubuc asked the Detroit club for an increase in salary next season, and has no doubt that his request will be granted.
This seems like something Dubuc fabricated in order to pressure the Tigers to give in to his salary demands, but I guess it’s plausible.

this seems like a pretty neat book.
Comiskey and McGraw took the White Sox and Giants over on an exhibition tour of Europe in 1914, including stops in Paris ... not the best timing, I guess.
Ross + AJ Kirby-Jones to Padres for Parrino and Werner!
I'm shocked as hell, but I like it.
This makes me a little mad as it now (retroactively) implies that the Jays could have signed Barry Bonds when he was available after 2007. I always assumed it was because they (as a team) decided they didn't want the steroid stink on them, but this pretty much removes that from the equation.
Collusion!
