Welcome to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Major League Baseball is stirring up serious trouble with its players. The league reportedly proposed slashing the free agency window to just two to three weeks, a move the MLB Players Association is calling an outright elimination of player rights. With the relationship between the two sides already on thin ice, this one could get ugly fast heading into the next collective bargaining fight.
Shifting to the golf course, Min Woo Lee walked into East Lake Golf Club for the very first time in competition and absolutely torched it. The twenty eight year old Australian fired a bogey free, eight under sixty two to tie his career low and grab the clubhouse lead at the Tour Championship. No course knowledge, no problem — Lee looked like he owned the place from the opening hole.
And some genuinely concerning news out of college basketball, where Michigan five star freshman Brandon McCoy Junior was carried off the court just twenty seconds into the Wolverines' European exhibition game. No details yet on the severity, but losing a top recruit before the season even tips off is a brutal way to start the year for Ann Arbor.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
