Welp, any sheeps hope and dreams of a championship this decade just officially died for them. 27 & 28 no baseball because of Hal lockout, and if there's a season in 29 Judge will be 37. Hal and #CashTurd have done malpractice to Judges career and should be sued.
Aaron Judge has been diagnosed with a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, per @GaryHPhillips
He will rest and be reimaged in 4-6 weeks to determine next steps. Judge is expected to return at some point this year
@cleanuphtr12 1. Owners have the will,a large market owner leading the charge (Hal),and unlike 94 have half the fan base who for some reason like siding with greedy billionaires
2. They will lockout for 1 year, then try scab baseball. They've done it before they'll do it again. 2 years ruined
I wouldn't even say "good", more like a product of tanking teams and a terrible American League. Paper tigers. Fake tough guys. Fundamentally stupid. Run by antiquated morons who still think they're hot shit. #yankees
The Knicks have been AWFUL for quite some time.
The Yankees are good year in and year out.
Yet it’s the Knicks who will win a title before the Yankees. Funny how it works.

NBA: 12
NFL: 14
NHL: 15
MLB: 16
This statistic alone is the single biggest reason why the so-called "huge disparity" in MLB is a total load of shit.
None of the big four pro sports have had more champions this millennium...
Wanna know what parity is? It's having the stupidest, most indifferent owner in sports own the most successful MLB team in history, guaranteeing they never win another championship under his reign.
That sounds like parity to me. #yankees
Based on my up-to-the-minute estimates, here is the difference in current CBT projections and the league's proposal:
10 teams cutting $587.1M in payroll, 12 raising $569.8M, or a $17.3M net loss.
Payrolls tend to go up in season, so this gap would only get bigger
@gregcut_ Love how you pick out the Mets and ignore the Dodgers, Yankees and Braves where spending does indeed equal winning. Why would the pirates want to spend $170m if the dodgers are uncapped and just continue signing the best free agents.
Small market teams & cheap corrupt billionaires needed one big market owner to unify with to push a hard cap. George never was it because he wanted to win at all costs.
They finally got their guy with Hal. Enjoy your fucking chicken buckets.
In other words, “greedy billionaires, exploit late-stage capitalism to profit *FURTHER* off the backs of their workforce.” The @MLBPA accepting a salary cap would effectively destroy what little power unions have left in the USA. If you’re a fan who wants a cap, you’re an idiot.
Any baseball fan who seriously sides with multi billionaire owners and think a hard cap is a good idea should turn in their fandom.
Oh and enjoy 2+ years of no pro bball (I'm sure at some point the scumlords will try garbage replacement players like in '94)
BREAKING: As expected, MLB proposed a hard salary cap to union officials today as part of the next CBA, sources tell ESPN. The salary floor for teams beginning in 2027 would be set at $171.2 million which includes player benefits with the ceiling at $245.3 million.
Jeff Passan says MLB will propose a salary cap in Thursday's CBA negotiations.
The last time MLB pitched a salary cap was in August 1994, which led to the rest of that season, including the World Series, being canceled after players went on strike.
@realboshek This is like fans back in the day calling the 80s Yankees team of the decade because they had the most wins. I didn't know any fans that did that but I know they existed. And they were stupid.
