The Yankees offseason can't end with the signing of the lefty
J.A. Happ was a necessary addition and the Yankees are better today and than they were before they brought him back. They are good enough to get to the postseason, but I’m not sure they are good enough to win the postseason.
The Giants still have a chance to reach the postseason and it all will take is a miracle
The rest of the NFC gave the Giants countless chances to save their season and now they are down to their last chance. They need five things to happen to reach the playoffs, but really they need one major thing: a miracle.
The Yankees chose to not sign the best pitcher on the free-agent market and now they have only one option left
The Yankees threw away 2018 when they wouldn’t go over the luxury-tax threshold and now that they passed on Patrick Corbin, what was the point of getting under the threshold? If the Yankees don’t sign J.A. Happ, it will be a big problem.
The best free-agent class in history is coinciding with the most important offseason in Yankees history
The Yankees can’t afford to worry about the luxury tax this offseason. The Yankees used to use their financial situation to their advantage and now they need to do so once again with this free-agent class.
The Yankees were home while the Red Sox and ex-Yankees were winning a championship
The Yankees haven’t played a game in over three weeks, but the time off hasn’t made it any easier to accept the way the season ended after last season’s October run.
The longest-tenured Yankee is back for 2019 after signing a one-year deal for $7.5 million
I have been torn on whether or not the Yankees should bring Brett Gardner back for a while. I have always been a Gardner fan, despite his streakiness, but it sure looked like he was done for most of the season.
The Giants are off, so it will be a relaxing, enjoyable week of football
I’m looking forward to football this Sunday because there’s no way the Giants can ruin it. Life without the Giants is appealing and after the last 25 games, I’m beginning to think life would be better without them.
The Giants have become one of the worst franchises in the league
The only team worse than the Giants since the start of last season is the Browns. The once-proud Giants are now a league-wide laughingstock. Thankfully, the Giants won’t lose this week since they aren’t playing.
Another week, another loss for the Giants as they continue to become the laughingstock of the league
The Giants’ latest loss dropped their record to 4-20 since the beginning of 2017. I didn’t think things could get worse after last season, but they have gotten much worse.
Andrew Rotondi joined me for one last venting session about the 2018 and the disappointing ending to their season.
