It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The final week of the year is a time for rest, relaxation, and not knowing what day or time it is. How did the Yankees

Sometime last week, the Yankees made a relatively small move, signing Mexican League MVP Nick Torres to a minor league deal. But what is on a grand scheme a minor move meant to add a bit of depth, can mean a whole lot more for the people involved — and there is perhaps no better example of this than his wife’s reaction to the news:
Old Friends
