Milton Bradley was released on $50,000 dollars in bail for making an unspecified threat to an unidentified woman in Los Angeles. This means we probably won't be seeing him in an M's uniform this year.
However, it could have larger implications. Depending on the language of Bradley's current contract, the M's may be able to void some, if not all of Bradley's salary. That's a cool 12 million back in the hands of Jack Z, and it could potentially make next season a bit more interesting. However, to hope for such a thing is rather lofty, as in most cases, the M's would probably only realistically look to get back a much smaller portion of that salary.
Of course, the case could get thrown out, Bradley could be innocent and find himself one of the spendiest bench players in the league next year. Even so, it may be worth it to swallow the salary, avoid bad press, and fill the roster spot with someone slightly more productive. I remember being excited to see Bradley potentially return to form and find himself more at home with the M's, but I was wrong. Let's move on.
In other M's news, Aardsma, Vargas, and League were tendered contracts to avoid arbitration, so there will be no haggling between the club and the players.
