A victory for the little people as the Red Sox arrive in Japan.

The players had threatened to boycott their final preseason game in Florida on Wednesday and their travel plans for Tokyo unless a dispute over paying coaches and other staff for the trip to Japan was hammered out.  A settlement of 40,000.00 for each staff member was reached after talks among players from the Red Sox and Athletics proved to be the difference maker. It is amazing that MLB was trying to stiff the little guy in a multi billion dollar business. The amount MLB was trying to get away with amounted to less than one million dollars. It was nice to see the players stick up for their staff.
