    He used K rate first, until I told him he had his highest K/9 of his career in 2019, then he switched to HR/9 rates to make his point.

    I'm not down on Pedroia at all. It's probably something he shouldn't have said, but by all accounts, Pedroia is a great teammate and a great leader.

    It's hard for me to hold one bad statement against a guy who seemingly gave it his all for many years.

    Sure, it upset me and his teammates, but I'm not sure any of us know how his teammates still view him- knowing his history not just that one moment in time.

    Exactly, especially when we don't know the whole story behind it. Like I said, he probably shouldn't have said it, but we've all said things at one point or another that we wish we hadn't said.

    So the skankees are going after a big pitcher when they don’t even need pitching. They had one of their best pitchers suspended. Meanwhile we are thinking about trading one of our best players. I can see the skankees dominating the next 7 years to 10 years in the division.

    I wonder how big of a story the Astros sign-stealing allegations will become.
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    You don’t think that’s a stretch? We wanna trade our best players. If they trade betts for players they better make sure those prospects are ready to start from the get go.

    The MLB channel is making a big deal of it for now at least.

    I'm hopeful but would not bet on a big season from Sale.

    Pedroia single handedly fractured the locker room and sent our season down the tubes.

    From being on teams as long as I was, I know the players have put all his nonsense behind them and are cheering for him to make a recovery, but not one will ever trust him again.

    You don't know shit.

    Show some proof he somehow fractured the locker room of a team that won 93 games and a division title. The incident took place in April 2017. For a fractured team, they sure played pretty well the last 140-145 games of the season. C'mon, man up and show proof, although I know you won't.

    I'll repeat myself, you don't know jack about anything.
    The Yankees could go 0-162 and it wouldn't be enough
