2K24: New York Yankees

[Sour Masher]

What happened to Deivi Garcia? He has been putrid this year in the minors.

[Pauly]

Zack Britton just pulled a hammy or something.

Jasson Dominguez will be the 1st player that hasnt yet played in a full-season league to appear in the Futures Game. In fact, Dominguez' first pro game was just last night in the Florida Complex League (went 0-2) and will have played only about 3 weeks before playing in the Futures Game.

Yanks acquire Tim Locastro from Arizona for minor league pitcher Keegan Curtis.

Gerrit Cole on pitching without the sticky:

I thought this was a spoof at first. Too bad for Cole's sake it isn't.

Not a good look at all.

And the Yankees only have a mere 7 years at $36 mil/year on him.

The question is, did they know he was 'cheating?' Or did they know, and just didn't know MLB would eventually start cracking down on it?

Agreed. I have so little sympathy here. And so disingenuous for him to say “I don’t want batters to get hurt” when what he surely means is “I don’t want to struggle and look overrated.”

If they didn't know, sounds like their scouting and analytics staff ought to be fired. I mean, Donaldson figured it out, and while he's a pretty smart guy, it's not like he should be figuring out anything a team scouting and analytics staff would.

Gerrit Cole pre June 1: 1.78 ERA, 0.83 WHIP
Gerrit Cole post June 1: 5.24 ERA, 1.22 WHIP

And his last year in Pittsburgh was 4.26 ERA/1.24 WHIP. I think I've figured out what Houston taught him.
