Agent Lonnie Murray criticized Pioneer League team Oakland Ballers for mistreatment of her clients on and off field
A pedestrian walks past the logo of the Oakland Ballers in front of their new home at Raimnodi Park in Oakland, Calif., on June 4, 2024. Ballers, the new Independent League baseball team will play their inaugural and first ever home game in the West Oakland ballpark. The Ballers fired manager Micah Franklin on Sunday after just 54 games, despite the team being tied for the fourth-best record in the Pioneer League standings when he was let go.
“I’ve been a player agent for 22 years,” Murray wrote on X. “I don’t stand for bad behavior by anyone and I carry receipts for what I state publicly.” The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Friday evening that trail-blazing woman pitcher, Kelsie Whitmore, who is advised by Ballers co-founder Paul Freedman acknowledged that there could have been more done by the organization to calm the waters, but said the team has handled the issues internally.
In the post on X, the Ballers wrote that they were not going to discuss Jefferson’s injury but will investigate the matter internally. The source went on to say the organization believes the sudden criticism is a result of Murray’s relationship with Franklin, saying, “She’s going all in for a friend without getting the full scoop.”
