Goodness. Passan: Right-hander Max Scherzer is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season with a strained teres major -- a muscle that connects the scapula to the humerus. Scherzer is, Texas GM Chris Young told reporters, "unlikely" to pitch in the playoffs.

This is the 3rd year in a row Scherzer has crapped out at the end of the season.
 
I can't stand A-Rod either, but those guys got what they deserved.

The thing that annoys me is A-Rod is given a national platform on not one but TWO channels for national baseball broabroadcast.

He got caught, went on 60 minutes in 2007 to apologize. Said he's been clean with Yanks. Got caught again. Lied again. And Manfred was the one that was investigating him and then still allows him to be a face of MLB TV.

The Commissioner has to approve all national tv broadcast commentators. So for ESPN and fox, the fact A-Rod is allowed to do it after all the other suspected roiders have mostly been blackballed from TV, it's crazy.
 
Red Sox fire Bloom.

I think the Mets would have much rather gone after Bloom than Stearns if having to choose between the two.
 
That was still mostly with holdovers from the 2018 team.

The highest the Sox payroll has been under Bloom i think has been 11th or that's their average. Nothing Bloom can do if ownership is cutting cost and not letting him spend money.
 
Maybe Blooms wants to take an advisory role in the Anthopoulos FO. Braves can start doing the Dodgers thing.
 
Let's hope the Phillies don't decide to bring him on.

I wonder if the Angels would can AA's former righthand man, current GM Minasian, just to make a splash and bring in Bloom. Or maybe Dodgers bring Bloom back to work under Friedman. San Diego could possibly bring him in if they decide to finally can Preller.

Would be funny to see Friedman competing against his former assistants. Zaidi is already GM in San Fran.

The Phillies are oddly very happy with Dombrowski
 
You can hate his methods, and I’d agree, but the dude just wins.

I think any winning will be short-lived; in any other year his high-priced team from last year doesn’t even make the playoffs much less the World Series. He will wear out his welcome relatively quickly when things turn

You have to let him spend, and you can’t care about long-term sustainability, but he can craft some short-term bonafide playoff clubs with the best of them.
