Mattingly and Munson

No on both.

If Baines and Trammell are in then Mattingly should

I would normally agree but I don't think Baines or Trammel should be in so no Mags either for me.  3 wrongs doesn't make a right.

Marvin Miller is the only one that should be in on that list.

Who's Mags?

We used to call Mattingly "Mags",  you had Pags and Rags playing on the team at one time so we added a third name to rhyme.

I knew of Pags and Rags. I don't remember Mags

We used it locally, apparently it never caught on, lol.

How locally?  I definitely don’t remember “Mags”.

Local as in Nassau County Local.  Who cares, we weren't sports writers so it never caught on, lol!

So long, jake. Really don’t want to look back at what I said because I know I defended that contract. What a waste. That said, what would have been a bigger disaster, that or Cano for $240 mil?

What coulda be Greg bird, that ones disappointing 

At least Cano played and could have given us at least 5 good years.

Yeah, would have had 5 dead years too though and a suspension. Disaster either way.

Would Gleyber be here if they kept cano?!

Hope this ellsbury situation doesn’t hurt them in signing free agents. Not paying contracts isn’t a good look

He made $244,000+ for every game he ever appeared in....even if they keep the $26M.

insane.

"The dollars will be there" is not something we have heard in a very long time from this team.  Don't get my hopes up, Yanks.

Thank god the Yankees love fest with Wheeler is put to bed for good.

Great article.

I didn't know pitching coaches were in charge of nutrition, sleep and thw what not?  I thought they did mechanics mainly and the trainers/doctors did the other stuff?

Or am I just looking too far into this and the coach has these things at their disposal now?

Yeah, good stuff for sure.

I think it's an organizational philosophy, but this Blake dude comes from one of those pitching companies prior to the Indians, so I'm sure he'll be really involved with that stuff, especially as it comes to pitching.  I listened to a podcast with people who have worked with him who talked a lot about how he makes sure your body is in the right type of shape to avoid injuries and all, so sounds like that kind of stuff aligns with him.
