MLB will never let this trip fall through. I bet they'll cave to pay the coach's appearance fee by the end of the day.
My thoughts exactly, Scott.
This is what being a team is supposed to be about - Everybody watching out for everybody. Most of your coaches (with the exception of the head coach) never really receive any credit -- I'm glad to see this happen but I'm pretty sure Major League Baseball will drop the dollars SOON.
Million Dollar Crybabies. Sorry I can't go along with this. They want more money for this game than my wife made last year.
Edit* Disregard those comments, (except the part of the $40K being more than my wife made), didn't realize this was about the coach's appearance fees. Still can't believe though, that anybody is getting paid for a free trip to Japan, to play a game.

Those coaches still probably make more money then your wife and myself, I can't believe they get a free trip to Japan, plus probably room and board, and they are still crying.
I'm glad the players are sticking up for the coaches, but I can't feel sorry for these people.
I want the Sox to go to Japan, and come back with serious jet lag, to throw them off for the start of the season. 
The problem is MLB agree to pay the coaches $20K, now they are going back on their word. Alot of theses assitant coaches make like $100K a year and that's like 20% of your check gone, for 18 day of work you have to put in Japan.
Terry Fancona was one of the lowest paid coaches in the league the last 3-4 seasons he finally got a salary to match his outstanding coaching preformance.
Yes I'm a Nation citizen but I tell it like it is
