Isn't Fielder in the final year of his deal?

I'm guessing there's a corresponding increase in Latin
players...

Obviously, MLB is racist and is weeding out the negroes.

The percentage of Asian players has gone from close to zero to
maybe 4-5%.
Also, why is baseball being graded on "gender diversity"? As if
it's somehow better the more women there are working in
baseball? How many girls devote themselves to playing and
understanding baseball like boys do, dedicating themselves to
the game from a very young age? Very few. It's perfectly
natural that when they reach adulthood, the vast majority of the
people working in baseball should be men.

Regarding Braun's deal, that in no way precludes a Fielder deal.
All things considered, it's a relative bargain of a contract.
