The Yankees just traded standout infielder Hoy Park, who was hitting .327 this season, for Pirates right-handed pitcher Clay Holmes and Diego Castillo. As a lifelong Yankees fan that reminds himself not to be shocked by any boneheaded Brian Cashman deal — I’m lost. Trading one of your most productive bats in AAA to land More
Nationals star Trea Turner wasn’t really on anyone’s radar, despite his talent, but now there are reports that he may be on the move. Peter Gammons reports that Washington ownership and Turner “aren’t going to do anything long term.” This is like telling a girl you don’t see a long-term future, so obviously other suitors More
After this afternoon’s 5-4 loss to the Red Sox, it might be time for the Yankees to sell. There’s no momentum to be found, and they have an average starting rotation at best and a dismal lineup of botched prospects and bad contracts to boot. Just a dumpster fire of a year in the Bronx. The Red Sox were losing 4-0 to the Yankees with ZERO hits going into the 8th inning.The Red Sox beat the Yankees, 5-4 🤯 @BRWalkoff pic.twitter.com/B2vUccAkfS— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) July 25, 2021 The Yankees stole yesterday’s game down three coming into the ninth on an improbable Rougned Odor two-run double, and then followed with a botched eighth and ninth inning tonight. Today’s letdown was merely a microcosm of the season — wild disappointment, followed by a surprising yet refreshing win, all to collapse with an on-the-field fart of a finale. And for those counting, the Yankees are spending just north of $203 million. That means they have little wiggle room for roster tweaks, and if they do, such tweaks pretty much have to pay off immediately. Going over the $210 million mark creates a luxury tax, and no team would want to cross that line […]
Yahoo Sports’ Shams Charania just tweeted out the NBA’s summer league covid protocols and they make zero scientific sense, like at all. They’re moving forward as if vaccinated Americans have no possibility of contracting or spreading the virus, even though science says otherwise. It’s almost like they’re bulling players into jabbing themselves for a reward More
Deandre Hopkins has no plans to get vaccinated according to his since deleted tweet, but now he’s beginning to elaborate on what we already knew: They love you one minute then hate you the next. It’s all political pandering, Hop. They love you one minute then hate you the next! Know thyself. https://t.co/aNKbgO5NSK — Deandre More
The Buccaneers visited the White House yesterday and all anyone could talk about was Tom Brady’s remarks and Bruce Arians’ massive sunburn. To be fair, Arians looks horrific, so Twitter had themselves a field day. Still rather be rich and sun burnt than inside at our 9-5s taking 30 minute PTO craps. Just sayin’. Tom More
Marc Lore and cornball Alex Rodriguez were just announced as owners of the Timberwolves and they couldn’t look more like scheming businessmen. It’s their job to rake in the dough, but they’re obviously doing this to move the team. No shade though, Alex. We would move this dumpster of an organization too. They stink. pic.twitter.com/kon5qwUGKn More
Baseball could use a shot in the arm, and plenty of fans believe a few subtle rule changes could do the trick. Apparently MLB Network’s Jon Heyman believes that we should tweak the unclear rules regarding the check swing, and to express that belief, he offered the worst take in sports history. And before anyone More
Michael Irvin spoke with ESPN’s Todd Archer and went on about how he would fight to force teammates to stop being selfish and get vaccinated. Bills receiver Cole Beasley, per usual, showed up via Twitter to dunk on that garbage take. Here’s Irvin’s full quote: “Dude, you’re not thinking right. You’re not thinking right. Whatever More
