What is the story about?
The
Phillies lost a franchise icon yesterday, so that will probably dominate the local headlines with nothing much else going on.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- As previously stated, Bob Boone passed away at the age of 78. He was a part of the Boone dynasty in baseball.
- Another report out there that the team has placed Trea Turner in the “available” column on their roster.
- In a surprise to virtually no one, Don Mattingly did not win the NL Manager of the Year award, finishing third instead.
MLB news:
- Speaking of the Manager of the Year awards, they were won by Pat Murphy (again) and Will Venable.
- Tarik Skubal is going to meet the Mets next weekas he prepares to enter the free agency fray with reckless abandon.
- This is a pretty interesting way to look at the player’s side of the CBA negotiations: they can’t just walk away from the table.
