Baseball has the biggest prima donnas in team sports...from owners, managers, players to umpires. It’s also boring, especially live. IMHO.

Become a Rays fan. Prima donnas don't last long on the team--and what's more, when they go elsewhere for more money (Carl Crawford, Melvin Upton Jr.), their careers usually crater.
“Mike Rizzo thought the solution to the team’s actual mid-season needs-—namely, a little offensive fortification and some bullpen help for the middle innings-—was to deal for a disgruntled Phillies closer who put a gun to the heads of any team that might deal for him, saying he wouldn’t go unless he was named the closer”
Don’t forget that Storen - the incumbent closer - went into the tank when Papelbon was brought in until - in a fit of frustration - he punched a wall and broke his hand. This Nats team was supposed to demolish the NL East. Rizzo and Williams both need to go.
