Cobra Commander Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 kinda surprised some player who is both unvaccinated but also shy about his public image didn't try intentionally getting their passport cancelled or letting it expire (well, considering that passports are valid for 10 years, that part would be hard) but I suspect they'd still end up on the restricted list anyways. Sorta like how some people thought that Whit Merrifield's toe injury was either to end his streak with something other than the Toronto trip, or that his toe injury was about getting on the injured list instead of the restricted list. The Royals de-facto GM (Dayton Moore, who ascended to Team President last year) had at least one radio interview accusing unnamed teams of hiding guys from the restricted list through demotions or IL stints, which might not be supposed by data.

Cobra Commander Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Miles Mikolas is sporting the look of a man who has ended friendships due to arguments about Brooks and Dunn. Also, Miles Mikolas literally ate a lizard in the bullpen on a bet. So maybe thats how they vaccinated him. Kudos to Major League Baseball on, so far, not having any players get busted for faking vaccination cards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 For the record - Trout is amused at the overreaction to the news Quote Mike Trout said he appreciated all the support he received Wednesday after the Los Angels Angels' head athletic trainer revealed the three-time AL MVP had a "rare" spinal condition that could affect him for the rest of his career. Even if Trout thought the whole thing was blown out of proportion. "I think he meant that I have to stay on top of the routine I do on a daily basis to keep it from coming back," Trout said after watching his Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 4-0 to clinch their first series win in nearly a month. "I'm appreciative of all the prayer requests, but my career is not over." ------------- Trout smiled when thinking about the absurdity of the overreactions he'd been seeing online after Frostad's comments. "I got back and my phone was blowing up: 'My career is over,'" he said. "It's just rare for a baseball player. I just have to stay on top of it." Trout received a cortisone injection last week that has already begun to produce results. He has a follow-up visit next week and "we'll go from there," he said, though he has every intention of being back this year. "Of course," he said. "That's my goal." The Angels have had no discussions about shutting him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 from a non-Heyman source: There's a KCMO thing resentment towards the concept of someone viewing a time here as a pit stop to bigger and better things, and there is also a dislike towards the Yankees going back to the Kansas City A's being a Yankee farm team. So a guy having his personal reasons change so he could play for the Yankees instead of the Royals might not entirely be popular in KC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 It is gonna be amusing to see what they do with Gallo. Its clear they ain't DFAing him for fear he suddenly would figure it out for another contender but I can't see any other fucking team giving up anything for him unless you are taking a worse contract back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 it was another one of those days for the "Bob Nightengale is always wrong" crowd Formal decision, like he's gonna show up with two hats ala Signing Day and put on a hat to indicate his status for Toronto. Also, considering Benintendi's health history, it's not impossible for him to get injured before any games in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
