“If we don’t say yes authentically, we say it resentfully, and that leads to far more problems than if we’d said no in the first place.” Nat Lue Last month’s column was titled “Saying No in November.” I was definitely not planning on following it with anything about saying yes […]

In what seems like a couple of hundred sports years ago, Pete Rose announced he loved baseball so much he’d play for nothing. A short time later, he held out for $200,000 a season. And now Shohei Ohtani is going to be paid what the late Jimmy Buffett would’ve called […]
