"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

Arguments get you a disorderly. You don’t get a charge of assault without doing something physical. Prevention of a 911 call is probably the hint. Maybe he didn’t strike her, but maybe he took the phone from her or broke her phone when she said she was going to call 911. Either way, that is usually taken seriously. My guess is she doesn’t cooperate and the charges are dropped. He probably gets a 15 game suspension for being a dope.
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

The arrest was for domestic assault and prevention of a 911 call. That entails a little more than just yelling. Like I said, he may not have touched her, but he may have blocked her access to a phone or broken her phone. You also don’t know what was said. Either way, let the process sort itself out. My guess is she’ll drop the charges and he’ll get a nominal suspension from the MLB
My point is that from media accounts the public cannot be certain that Steven Wright did or did not hit his wife.
Police reportedly had probable cause to arrest Wright for domestic assault, which in many jurisdictions requires physical contact. The accused occasionally denies the allegations, sometimes with good reason and sometimes without good reason.
The system should sort out the facts ... or not.

Red Sox Make Jackie Bradley Jr. Available In Trade Talks

The Red Sox are advising rival organizations that they’ll consider dealing away center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr., according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today (via Twitter). That stance, he notes, is tied to the team’s efforts to add a power bat — presumably, one that would occupy a corner outfield spot and bump Andrew Benintendi into center.

Makes me think signing JD is just around the corner.
