Yan started playing pro ball in 2014. Blew out his elbow at 19. Didn't pitch in pro ball for five seasons. During that time, he worked as a roofer, landscaper, and delivery driver. He was playing in a local Sunday league for a team called the Expendables. Let the man celebrate.
Right-hander Kyle Bradish and the Baltimore Orioles are in agreement on a five-year, $90 million contract extension, a source tells ESPN. Orioles lock up their best starter and buy out three years of free agency.
Hey! This is not on Carlos Mendoza, and this was a classy, gracious move by the Mets. You tasked a great, old school, baseball mind to lead a broken team. It was impossible. Based on all the statements and how all of baseball feels about him, he’ll be back on a staff next year.
Putting it here for the record that (as I told @Rob_Raiola) that while I know they're getting blown out now, there's at least a 25% chance the Mets win the next 10 on their way to the playoffs as this becomes the Norway Mets year
