Hey Major League Baseball, I'm breaking up with you!
Major League Baseball and I are not married; we're not even dating. Still as a longtime fan, whose interest has waned in recent years, mostly because of an endless stream of failed Cleveland Indians seasons, I'm breaking all ties with MLB. |

Maybe I should be mad at the Yankees for starting a Cano bidding war. Perhaps it's the Seattle Mariners I should hate for creating this beyond ridiculous contract.
Not only is $24 million a year for a ballplayer a slap in the face to any blue collar worker, it's especially infuriating to me -- an educator, completely convinced that I'm in the most important profession there is. Am I worth millions? No. Am I worth more than a guy who hits baseballs? Without a doubt.
Don't even get me started on how marginally talented Cano is when compared to other great players, who never made one-tenth of his salary.
So, there you have it. I'm sick of the money that MLB teams are handing out, with no thought to the economic ramifications. Maybe I can't stop it, but I don't have to participate.
This is why I'm breaking up with Major League Baseball forever.
