OAKLAND -- As the Oakland Ballers baseball team battles for position in the Pioneer League, team leadership is in a fight of its own. An agent for some of the players has gone public, accusing the team of mistreatment. On Friday, July 22, the Oakland Ballers released a statement to fans which had less to do with baseball and more to do with damage control. In it, the team said, 'We continue to work hard each and every day to build something great.
The team said it will not comment on reasons for the trades or Franklin's dismissal but Ballers co-founder Paul Freedman said the complaints seem to be coming from one voice.'There is an agent who has made claims about the situation of the players in our organization,' he said. 'We take the subject matter of those claims to be very serious. Player safety is incredibly important to us. Player health is incredibly important to us.
