That's just not true at all. Last year they had the whole "barrio" thing, but guys like Springer and Manoah were constantly there, too. Vlad has always interacted with everyone on the team. This year we probably see him spending more time talking to Bo and Springer than anyone else. But it makes sense that players with the same first language and background would gravitate towards each other to some extent, and it exists in other sports, too; all the Swedes on the Leafs the last couple years, for example, were particularly close.
He throws an average slider, but his fastball might be the best fastball in baseball.
Congrats. Not everyone has the same language skills or educational background or life experiences as you.
Definitely need to upgrade the offense. It's a much bigger concern than pitching.
Yeah, trading Hernandez was a big mistake. So what if they had no plans to resign him after this year. They got a middle reliever for him thats all.
I don’t have an issue with trading Teo, he was clearly on the decline.
They just need the guys they have to go back to somewhat normal (Kirk/Vladdy/Springer etc). Chapman has been trash after the 1st month as well. But I agree they need to add some offense
It was a risky series of offseason moves to begin with. I posted that several times at the time. I’m not sure why Atkins continues to get the benefit of the doubt when he hasn’t really proven himself to be worthy of such benefit.
