mvp 78

Gio's velo has been way down the past two years. I'm not sure if his stuff would play in the AL. He's a back of the rotation starter going forward IMO. He has value, but isn't going to be cashing big checks in FA. It's very likely that he signs with the Yanks for a one year deal. Dallas has been very up and down over his short career and there are questions about his durability. He's definitely not a contender for a long term contract and I think he's holding out for more than a one year deal at this point. From MLBTraderumors: The lefty’s strikeout percentage dipped from 21.4 percent in 2017 to 17.5 percent in 2018 (7.7 K/9 vs. 6.7), and his swinging-strike rate fell from 10.9 percent to 8.3 percent. His ground-ball rate of 53.7 percent, while well north of the league average, also represented a substantial step back from 2017’s 66.8 percent mark and from his overall career mark of 58.8 percent. The biggest problem is that he was expecting a 9 figure deal and held out for one. Now, most potential suitors have moved on without him.

Pedro Ciriaco says hello.

Pedey debuting on Thursday.

Agreed.

He shouldn't be expected to give the team a discount.

@lindseyadler Aaron Boone says it's "highly unlikely" Luis Severino will be ready for the start of the season. Back to back to back to back.

All those division titles, and World Series pennants are really cluttering up around here.

I don’t care about that.

Which Yankees player recently died in a plane crash?

Too bad he isn't a good fielder.

Which Yankee player/family member recently die that slasher made fun of? If you want to rag on some old s*** like Ted Williams' head being frozen in AZ, go for it.

Someone dies and this is the response you have? You're a dumb piece of garbage..............................

If so, then trade him.

I regard it with the same esteem as his ERA of 45.00 from 9/19 - 9/30.

Not convinced that 1.63 FIP is going to hold up.

If I added all his nonsense to my signature, it would melt the server. LOL...........................

I'm sure we'll hear it over and over again now though. It made more sense for him stanning for random twitter dudes than this stuff. LOL........................

And you know this how? LOL.............................

Lighter side of things: @PeteAbe As if often the case, OF Mike Yastrzemski is with the Orioles for a game at Fort Myers. Carl's grandson, 28, has been in the O's system since 2013.

@MikeSilvermanBB Cora, shaken, said impact on team about ‘family emergency’ similar to impact of loss of Nick Cafardo to media family last week. Again, no details yet.

Extend the netting all the way down the foul lines and fielders have to play the ball off the netting like in Arena Football.

You think the forefront of steroids in baseball was 1998.................. LOL

@jcmccaffrey Red Sox spokesman tells us a player on the team had a personal family emergency and they’re not going to announce anything further at the moment.

@Sean_McAdam Strange morning at JetBlue Park. Red Sox cancelled media availability and Cora briefing. Team held meeting, players emerge in somber mood.
