there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

Bring Luhnow back. I will always love that man. He got royally and unfairly fucked over for something he wasn’t responsible for 

And much of it is because he wasn't a "people" person so the MLB media and old school insiders made it be known how much he was supposedly hated..

I feel like Correa ends up somewhere random and a a little odd, like Machado to SD, Springer to Toronto, or Bryce Harper to Philly. Odd being defined as not Boston or any of the LA or NY teams. 

Wherever he is to start next season, he’ll show up with 2 WS Championship rings.

Luhnow is hard to grade. He was a brilliant GM in a lot of ways and was creative and relentless in his pursuit of maximizing the talent in the organization.
 

However, he had a blindspot when it came to how he and the org were perceived by the other orgs/owners and the media. He didn’t seem to understand how dangerous it was to be seen as a pariah by them all and how  at the first opportunity they would make sure he got the axe. 

Had he dialed it down a notch and didn’t do things like trade for Osuna or try to draft that child molester from Oregon then he might still be here.

I’ve scoured Twitter (🤮 don’t recommend it) and all “rumblings” are completely based on one tweet from that Bolen dude. It’s just endless comments and lazy retweets based on that dude’s tweet. 

I’m not saying things aren’t possible. McCullers could have decided to throw a bone to a dude he kinda thinks is a good dude worthy of a bone, but worst case scenario type news is sketchy AF right now.

I can report that Lance was out to an early dinner with his girl tonight looking super chill. HG can attest to the photo evidence. As he was walking out we made eye contact and I said “go get ‘em Lance.” He said thank you. /csb/

The fact that there isn’t a report that they’ve even given him an MRI is good news IMO. If it were super concerning surely they would have gotten an MRI first thing today?

That Bolen dude with bitch moves all the way around.  

A. - if LMJ did tell him something it was probably in confindence (even if stupid to tell him)

B - Bolen then tweets cryptic bullshit letting everyone know he has info and that it doesn't look good

C - Bolen then tweets more that he doesn't want to say anything he will let Lance put it out there but "it's a massive blow" (or something close to that).....bitch then don't even tweet anything in the first place you piece of shit

D - then he deletes his tweets

 

Fuck that guy even if he is right

well we still have 5 starters, technically. 

if he tore something, that’s a wrap on 2022 as well. 

cool cool super fucking cool. 

Is that a wrap on Correa as well (assuming there was even a chance to begin with?)

$15M in dead money for 2022 (and worst case, $82M dead over the next 5 years depending how he comes back) and gotta go get another starter

 

I started to say something about maybe Whitley can finally be found money but I think he’s actually dead.

This page sucks by the way. LMJ with possible TJ, Strom retiring, and we can't afford Correa because we have to sign an Ace.

Except they won't sign an ace either.
