On this day in 2013 the
Yankees saw their shirt get #UNTUCK (grammatical error I know but you get the
point) and land in Washington as former Yankees closer Rafael Soriano agreed to
a two year deal worth $28 million to close games for the Nationals. Soriano was
coming off of a league leading 45 saves for the Rays in 2011 and 42 saves for
the Yankees after filling in for Mariano Rivera after his ACL injury.
Also on this day in 1958 the
Yankees announced that an unprecedented 140 games would be televised this
season on local channel WPIX. You obviously had to buy a package and the deal
for the Yankees was worth more than $1 million. The decision to televise so
many games, including 63 road games, started when the Dodgers and the Giants
high tailed it to California. Good call if you ask me.
The first 4th inning bullpen ?...I have clamored for Soriano all off season
ReplyDeleteMake him your closer, and let the others watch.
Next...Get the special Yoan, the gamer. And then trade off the extra infield pcs.
Next...You guessed it.........Staring pitching.
Agreed, agreed and agreed patrick. I'm beating the drum while you light the candles.
