I am typing this just before midnight and cackling a bit. This is already in our overnight news, but apparently the Yankees just re-signed Paul Blackburn. Jon Heyman reported this. The beat writer life
ain’t glamorous when your job compels you to break such minor news quite late on a Saturday night. It’s a major-league deal so it’s not like a random NRI, but … wow. To have this happen seconds before Caleb Williams brought the house down in overtime at Soldier Field against the Packers? This is just all funny. You have to laugh!
Unless the Yankees have a move up their sleeves, it’ll be a quieter day for us today on the site. Matt and John will have you covered with primo offseason material though, as the former will reveal the results of his mad experiment with Out of the Park Baseball (which involved every single Yankees team in history playing against each other in a season), and the latter will check out what our Yankees pals have been up to in the latest Social Media Spotlight.
Questions/Prompts:
1. Who do you think makes up the Yankees’ bullpen at the moment?
2. Have you ever seen a worse college football playoff game than the Miami/Texas A&M slog? Yikes.
