Why in the world did he feel the need to hold a press conference to tell the world he cheated on his wife? Weird.

Remember that no-hitter he had where he walked 8 guys and needed around 250 pitches?

[Note: One of those numbers is slightly exaggerated.]

he's as bad as they come so you'd think so. maybe just waiting to let the new gm make the decision.

Just noticed that Ender Inciarte has 2.6 fWARs. Shoulda kept that guy. It's all defense WAR though of course.

Michael Young removed his name from consideration for the Rangers manager job, saying he wants to stay home with the kids

Good article here about how lousy outfield defensive stats are. No surprise really.
Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can

Apparently we’re supposed to feel sorry for Derek Jeter that the Yankees missed the playoffs this year.

The guy has literally played an entire regular season’s amount of post season games. Also, his entire post season career line is practically identical to his average regular season, which is pretty neat. Just a little more power in the post season.
