This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It is relevant for understanding how much money he was by G.K.Chesterton
walking away from, which is far less than he would have been walking away from in 2019 (that's separate of the contract agreement the Mets and Cespedes came to after the Mets threatened legal action, but that's another story). Player salaries are all out there on the Internet. I am not terribly sympathetic about Cespedes because he went AWOL on the Mets (unless someone wasn't checking their messages) and they had to put out this "We don't know where he is" announcement earlier today.
A better question to ask Nightengale is why he didn't have a similar tweet about Lorenzo Cain opting out and how much money he was walking away from, which is certainly higher (it's $5.92 million, per Yahoo).
Back to your original question: he didn't tweet out Murphy's salary. 8^)
