David Robertson needs Tommy John surgery and will be out for the year and all of next season. The Phillies will pay him $23 million for 6 2/3rds IP.

I guess the Yanks caught a break by not re-signing him.

Chris Sale is out for the year. He went 6-11 with a 4.40 ERA this year and his 5 yrs/$145 million extension kicks in next season. If Sale is getting that kind of money, how much could Stephen Strasburg who is 15-5 with a 3.82 ERA get if he opts out?

If Sale is getting that kind of money, how much could Stephen Strasburg who is 15-5 with a 3.82 ERA get if he opts out? 5 years, $170M is my conservative guess - with an opt out in there somewhere, probably year 3. But with how funky the FA market has been the past couple years, who knows.

It's not like Sale had those numbers before he signed the extension, but nonetheless Strasburg would likely get more.

Fine by me. Would rather them not win in the first place, but I can't help that.

A-Rod is a good luck charm. Just a coincidence, but he was a guest in the YES booth tonight and it helped the Yanks break out of their funk. 0-0 thru 2 innings, A-Rod joins in the top of the 3rd and we get HRs from Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez. 5th inning, Grand Slam by Sir Didi. In total.. 4 HRs, 8 runs in 4 innings with A-Rod in the booth. Also, Ryu in 11 home starts had only given up 7 runs ALL YEAR. He gave up 7 runs in less than 5 innings tonight. Get that man in there permanently! Hopefully this continues with A-Rod in the Fox and ESPN booths the next two days.

The really good sign is that Aaron Judge has finally started to pull the ball. His last 2 HR's have been to left-center, the first 2 HR's he's pulled all year. Maybe he's finally over that oblique pull. I think that has played a huge part in the way he's performed this year. Even when you are healthy enough to play, sometimes you're still feeling it, or you change your approach because you're afraid to hurt it again. He's been almost 100% opposite field up until this point....but if he's 100% and starts pulling the ball again...God help the rest of the league.

The weird thing is he was hitting when he came back. He didn’t have a HR tear or anything, but he was hitting some and hitting for a good average for a while.

As a Yankees fan I'm never thrilled having to wear jerseys that go against the standard look, but at least this year these players weekend jerseys actually looked good. Only thing that was dumb was the near white-on-white look, like the point is to have custom names on the jerseys but you can barely read them.

I wanted a Jacob degrom player's weekend shirt but they aren't sold in stores other than the team store in Citi field

Lost 19 to 4 last night, apparently being bought by a minority owner of the Indians, losing 2-0 tonight, and has an official team Twitter account that just lost a Pun Off with yours truly.
Go Royals.
