Vincent Trocheck says goodbye to New York and the Rangers:
"New York. I’m struggling as I try to find the words to explain what you have meant to me and my family. To the fans: you made playing in the world’s most famous arena a dream. Night in and night out you were there for us through good and bad. I’ll never forget the electricity in the building, and the feeling coming out of the tunnel wearing blue
To our Harrison people. We came into town not having a clue what to expect. We got so lucky landing where we did. The community made my family feel like they were home right away. The friends my kids made, the friendships my wife and I made, will never be lost. I’m so proud to say I lived in Harrison NY. To the Rangers staff, the unsung heroes, thank you all. For everything you did for me on a daily basis. And finally to my teammates. I’m so grateful for the last 4 years with you. From the on ice excitement, to the endless guys trips. Couldn’t be luckier to have been able to apart of your dressing room Love ya 🍎"

CC Sabathia says he gave up a $500,000 bonus to defend a teammate, but the Yankees paid him anyway
“They put a bonus in my contract, I think I needed like 140 innings to get 500 grand extra in my bonus. We go into Tampa, and I need six innings to get this bonus. I'm in the fourth inning, cruising. I'm getting this”
“Then they threw a ball up and in at my catcher, Austin Romine. I know baseball, so I knew that shit came from the bench. Because I threw a two-seamer in and hit Jake Bauers in the hand. So they made a big stink. They throw at Austin Romine. I come out of the dugout and I'm ready to go”
“Then everybody calms me back down. Gardy comes to me. He's like, ‘Bro, don't do it.’ And I was like, ‘Just be ready to fucking fight.’ That's all I told him. So their catcher comes up the next inning and I hit him with the first pitch. I wasn't mad at him. I was mad at the situation and who called it”
“I said what I said at their bench and I walked off. When I was walking off, in the moment, I was like, ‘Fuck, I don't know if I made the right decision.’ Then everybody came in after the game and they was all fired up. That was something where, in the moment, it was the right thing to do”
“It was just a snap decision. I was just trying to show this is how you take care of your teammates. My team was young. Luis Severino was in there. Judge was young. All those dudes were young. This is how you set the standard. Don't matter about the fucking money. You go and you do what you got to do for your teammates and everything else will work out. Hal called me the next day and paid me my bonus”
