Long story short.

Every player on the Red Sox and Athletics gets a 40K bonus for this Japan trip.

The coaches and trainers were supposed to get it also.

MLB is now saying only the players will get it.

The Red Sox players took a vote and they're not taking the field for todays game and wont get on the plane unless MLB agrees to pay the coaches & trainers.

my bet? MLB caves in quickly to save this Japan deal.

yep, was like a 1hr delay today.

I liked the Sox did announce if they didn't play today they whole team was going to sign autographs for all the fans who were there for the game.

Well, not really, but it was settled rather quickly
