🚨 Michael Mariot told a story in his postgame press conference that is so damn cool.
He hadn’t pitched in the majors since 2016.
His agent convinced him to play Independent Ball to start the season even though he really was thinking about retiring.
He had a date that if he wasn’t signed by, he was going to retire and go to Hawaii with his family.
The last day he had to cancel his plans, the #Reds called and signed him to a Minor League Deal.
Today, he pitched 2.2 Innings of one run baseball for a team fighting for a playoff spot.
Sports are so cool. ⚾️
Details:
— Joe Mixon took a $4.39M pay cut this year and a $4.67M pay cut next year.
— The 2023 base is $5.51M and he can make an extra $2M per year in incentives.
— This opens up the possibility of him sticking around next year, too.
Cincinnati, I just want to say thank you accepting my family and I with open arms. We couldn’t have asked for a better home these past four years. I will always have nothing but love for you.
Officiating will yet again be the biggest story of a huge NFL game. This time a Super Bowl.
Regardless of what team you like, it’s a problem for the sport.
