Yankees have three young pitchers and two aging pitchers coming off injury and Max Fried on the IL yet are still able to call up one of their top prospects, during a 26 day stretch where they are off once, is a point of roster construction the Yankees deserve credit for.
Aaron Boone announced Elmer Rodriguez will start tomorrow. No health issues. Gerrit Cole will start on Monday.
Jake Bird was optioned to Triple A after the game. Spoke about the possibility of Bird getting optioned to work on some issues on @ViewsFrom314ft yesterday.
Is there a fear at all that gutting the draft and eventually making less and less minor league teams will hurt the interest in the sport and the eventual development of players?
MLB today proposed an overhauled domestic amateur-entry system that removes high school players from the draft, makes college players eligible after sophomore year, shortens the draft from 20 to 12 rounds, and cuts bonus pool from current $358.7M to $200M, sources tell ESPN.
It’s amazing how quickly the gatekeepers of culture decide what’s acceptable.
In June, every logo becomes a rainbow. Every stadium, every jersey, every broadcast gets a political message.
But put a Bible verse on your cap? Suddenly that’s “controversial.”
Put an American slogan front and center? Suddenly that’s “divisive.”
The NFL had no problem painting political movements in the end zone. Major League Baseball has no problem turning every June into a month-long corporate activism campaign.
Yet the moment someone wants to celebrate faith, patriotism, or traditional values, we’re told those things don’t belong in sports.
Funny how the people preaching inclusion always seem to have a very specific list of viewpoints they’re willing to include.
If rainbow logos belong in sports, then so do Bible verses.
If political messages belong in sports, then so do messages celebrating faith, family, and country.
The double standard isn’t subtle anymore. EVERYONE sees it.
The Texas Rangers are the only team in Major League Baseball that doesn't host a Pride Night. This week, they're hosting Faith and Family Night instead.
Meanwhile, MLB just warned Giants pitchers for writing Bible verses on their own caps.
In Texas, we don't punish people for living out their faith. We protect that right.

MLB should tread carefully. There’s a lot more us fans that agree with the pitchers than with the league when it comes to pride night propaganda.
Let the MLB be warned, not the pitchers.
Be careful, MLB.
What a loser Hochul is.
During the Championship Playoffs it was announced that Texas ranks #1 for Fortune 500 HQs. A title once held by NY.
Unlike the Knicks title, Texas’s lead over New York in business and new jobs will continue… forever.
@RyanGarciaESM Seems like Elmer Rodriquez might be the starter that teams might ask for if the Yankees look to make a deal. If this hypothetical goes through do you believe Rodriguez’s chances of being traded are diminished to the point he won’t be traded or can you envision NYY moving both?
