All Comments on 'Jumping Doesn't Pay'

Nice story, will you keep writing more about it?

Will there be a continuation of this story?

The contract thing at the beginning is very poorly done. At least make it seem like his contract ran out. You can’t just get out of one contract to sign another. The team has to relinquish your rights. CBAs are a tricky thing.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I really appreciate it. No continuation is planned, but we'll see. I might end up doing one eventually.

Anon, I appreciate the feedback but that is actually the only aspect of the story that I did not make up.

"I have been in very tough luck with my pitchers," said Strobel. "Joss, unquestionably one of the best in the profession today, jumped me at the last minute. I have instituted legal proceedings against him for obtaining money by false pretenses. I think he will feel sorry for jumping."
