If we're going to start a wish list, I would like CC, Jacoby and Brian to retire. Or am I being too greedy that my team already has 2 retirees?

Tear down these Yankees!

 

[Mortemis]

damn @ that Ortiz bobblehead.

To be clear: Prince Fielder is not retiring. He is medically disabled and doctors will not clear him to play, sources say.

When a player retires, he effectively renounces the rest of his contract. Fielder is not doing that. Again, the money is guaranteed.

ok that makes more sense. That's a shit ton of money he's leaving if he did.

Big difference. So the doctors think he can never play again?

 

[BigAT]

Big difference.

When it comes to how his contract gets paid out, yes. But it's effectively the same thing, he's done playing baseball.

Not really. Retiring means the Rangers suddenly have $24m to play with. Not retiring means the Rangers are on the hook (unless insured). Big difference.

 

[CygnusXS]

Only if it's insured.

He's due another $48M by retiring.

So what were you saying here?

 

[zroid]

lmao that reaction by McHugh to Carlos Gomez is gold

The Rangers are apparently insured for a significant chunk of it.

Guns N Roses concert tonight across the street at AT&T. Ugh, home commute's gonna be worse than fighting through the typical night game crowds.

Where do we go now? Where do we go now?

Damn old foagie rockers, trying to fuck up our baseball game!

Good night sweet Prince

Well someone had to do it.

RIP Prince and his big ass swing back in his Milwaukee days. Hit some moonshots

I know, GnR had their peak when the Blue Jays won the World Series. Talk about irrelevant amirite.

The Alex Reyes era is upon us. Can't wait for him to walk strikeout all the batters!

Bummer about Wacha, but something was clearly not right.

Going to the game tonight, hope Reyes plays! Wanna see that heat and hammer curve in person

 

[Marvie_3]

Sucks that Prince is done. Always a fun dude to watch.

WTF@ that Ortiz bobblehead. Sheesh.

Puig partying in AAA doesn't sit well with the Dodgers FO. #puigyourfriend

 

[sf2fanatic]

Unnecessary and vulgar

You can blame Corran for that. Xia's just nervous we knocking at the door.

 

[Velcro Fly]

This Tomma La Stella business is souring me on him. I was pissed he got sent down but he's being a huge baby about this.

Mo makes the Wacha injury sound like pretty serious stuff. We'll always have 2013.

And Weaver is coming up to start in the Cubs series too.

Yeah, I have no idea what the fuck he's thinking?!? I get he's pissed and what not, but come the fuck on.

 

[Friggz]

Girardi only has Arod in the lineup for Thursday and Friday of this week. Really shitty way to end a guys career. Yankees have done a great job of making Arod the victim

 

[jbug617]

ARod is mad.

A-Rod clearly ticked off that he's only playing Thursday. Said he came here expecting to play all 3 after hearing what Girardi said Sunday.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Yep. I know he is a former Barves legend, but c'mon. Its not like we sent down Kris Bryant.

 

[Lunar FC]

Another blown lead, jesus christ.

Edit: Fire Weiss

 

[rando14]

ARod is mad.

Contract the Yanquis, how dare they do this to the Eternal centaur....

 

[Line_HTX]

This is organizational disrespect from Hal.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Tired of Gerardo's antics too. Hope he's gone by the end of this year.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Yeah, I have no idea what the fuck he's thinking?!? I get he's pissed and what not, but come the fuck on.

They just posted a video of Maddon. Says he's working out at home atm. "Not angry" per Joe. Idk. Seems pretty stupid to me.

 

[JoseDFrog]

I really don't get it. The announcement got me excited to see him these last 4 games. What's to lose?

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Mo makes the Wacha injury sound like pretty serious stuff. We'll always have 2013.

And Weaver is coming up to start in the Cubs series too.

I like this (not the injury, of course). I think Weaver could be Wacha 2013, except maybe even better.

 

[Lunar FC]

Can't believe I actually thought he had a chance for the playoffs. Bullpen is pathetic.

 

[Mortemis]

ARod is mad.

Yankees too damn disrespectful. Must be painful seeing the great farewell Jeter got and being disrespected like this.

 

[sangreal]

benching arod for these games is so fucking lame but I expect no less from Girardi

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Jumpin Joe at it again

There's absolutely no reason not to play A-Rod.

 

[cashman]

Not really. Retiring means the Rangers suddenly have $24m to play with. Not retiring means the Rangers are on the hook (unless insured). Big difference.

I think the current split is the Tigers have to pay 6 million, Rangers pay 9 million and the insurance covers the other 9 mil

 

[Choomp]

Gotta love a Taiwan tourist ad baked into the Mets pre game

 

[SaintR]

Why lie and say you're going to put Arod in the lineup every game if he wants to only to turn around and proceed to not do that? Makes the Yankees look stupid and petty

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Time to make some of yous feel old.


Ready?




Ready?

Andrew Benintendi makes Fenway debut tonight. Was born 2 days before A-Rod made his @MLB debut at Fenway Park in 1994. #RedSox #Yankees

They never said that?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Cubs place La Stella on the inactive list. Looking for another LH bat. What a shit show lol.

 

[JoseDFrog]

That should've been A-Rod striking out. All this is doing is bringing McCann's trade value down.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Yeah, I have no idea what the fuck he's thinking?!? I get he's pissed and what not, but come the fuck on.

Oh snaps, worse than Puig on the saltiness?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Tito skipped the Indians game after complaining of chest pain

 

[Silver Arrows]

I really think the Yanks are desperate enough to cut A-Rod that they are basically stepping over his toes in the process.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

They never said that?

Well they should!
