Reviews

'Nichol has written a fascinating account of labour mobility in baseball whilst dissecting theories underpinning the regulation of employment in the sport and building a case for a global player transfer system.' -- Stacey Steele, Australian Journal of Asian Law


'Nichol has written a fascinating account of labour mobility in baseball whilst dissecting theories underpinning the regulation of employment in the sport and building a case for a global player transfer system.' -- Stacey Steele, Australian Journal of Asian Law 'The confronting assertion that baseball labour is commodified has not been weakened by the MLB's efforts to restart the season during the pandemic, making Matt Nichol's scholarly examination of labour regulation and labour mobility in professional baseball's two elite leagues both timely and important.' -- Micah Burch, Zeitschrift fur Japanisches Recht
