What is the story about?
Usually,
we eschew stories about other sports, but this is a pretty funny Phillies connection to be made. The Trail Blazers hired Micah Nori as their next head coach. Does that name sound familiar?
Philadelphia truly is the center of the sports universe.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Alan Rangel was actually pretty good Monday night in his audition for the fifth starter’s spot. The team looks committed to him for now ($).
- Good or bad, Bryce Harper’s cycle on Saturday night does not happen unless he uses his trademark aggressive baserunning ($).
MLB news:
- Benny Montgomery was the eighth overall pick in the 2021 draft. He’s retiring from the game having never made it to The Show.
- Even as they say things like this about Byron Buxton, I’ll believe the Twins aren’t trading him when the deadline has passed.
- The CBA negotiations are going to be rough with the draft now a focus of attention. What if that draft were built over, starting from scratch?
