Is it just me, or do all Yankees Managers start looking alike after a certain number of years on the job?

That is a very young looking Rob Ramage. I grew up in a town called Sherbrooke... Where those Sher Wood sticks were made. A few of my friends' dads worked making those NHL ubiquitous sticks. Notice the gold ring of Gold Foil? Those were only on NHL bound sticks. Everyone else got silver.

Hey @mtlgazette.bsky.social this is a very well written story. I liked the flow, I liked how the writer got great quotes that told the story from the two players' POV. Sometimes I read a story and feel like the quotes were chosen to support the story, your writer let the athletes tell the story.

Dave Roberts is an excellent manager, and certainly seems to be a quality human. We have so many metrics to value player salaries that often separate personal performance from outside factors. Manager salary is really a mix of wins versus losses with maybe franchise profitability mixed in.

Bob Uecker, beloved "Mr. Baseball," has died at 90. From a light-hitting MLB catcher to a Hall of Fame broadcaster, sitcom star, and comedic legend in Major League and Miller Lite ads, Uecker was truly one of a kind. Wherever they bury him, he'll likely be in the first row.

The number is in line with the market. Do the Jays want a superstar at full market value? Historically the answer has been a solid 'no'. I personally think he will surpass Soto for free agent AAV $. My guess: 600M for 11 years. Jays gotta figure out if they are at the Adult table or the Kids table.

This argument is based on sound reasoning that might be taking place in Arlington. If the Rangers do make overtures, the Sasaki camp will have a long hard discussion about whether the 2025 and beyond Rangers squad will resemble the 2023 Championship squad or the 2024 dysfunctional squad.
