@BNightengale He’s amazing but to be fair, this narrative works both ways:
If not for the dead ball era Ruth could’ve hit many more runs.
Had Ruth the luxury of today’s training technology and sports medicine he’d have played longer
Also, talk to Mickey Mantle about injuries & HR records.
@BlogXilla The Post is essentially the National Inquirer and he’s just a clickbait troll. He started the SGA rumor today and the now refuted Cam trade request rumor yesterday.
@SamQuinnCBS Or is it possible that they felt that giving too much for Mitchell right now would put them in a purgatory where they’re not good enough to win big but also don’t have enough to get more help. Hurts to not get him but the decision to not cave seems prudent.
@LetsTalkKnicks_ Wasn’t it a protected first we traded to get him? If so, and trading him now can help facilitate funneling an unprotected first from LA to Utah in a DM trade then I don’t consider it an L at all.
@shwinnypooh But, theoretically, couldn’t all parties hold off on physically signing the extension until after a trade, effectively avoiding the poison pill complication?
