- Here’s the thing about the Braves DFA’ing Kimbrel. Dude clearly doesn’t have it any more, but signing him, having him rehab for months and then cutting him after one MLB outing like he’s some random interchangeable up-down guy and not a franchise icon is so… weird.

Statement from Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner on the alteration of Yankees facial hair policy: - What Alanna said yesterday was incredibly hurtful/uncalled for. I’m glad she apologized. One last thing before this 🙏 moves on: please don’t toss hate (particularly sexist stuff) into her mentions. She fucked up, said sorry. The end. Take the high road. Appreciate you all ❤️Alanna Rizzo gave "a very heartfelt apology to Jake Mintz and the entire BBWAA"
00:00 - IKF at contact on that Varsho play. Inexcusable lack of secondary lead. Over-emphasis on avoiding a line drive double play. IKF can basically be as far away from third as Muncy is. He has at least two more steps. Only needed one.
- Garrett Crochet delivered a dominant postseason performance and then immediately played a ton of Clash Royale on his phone. My story from a memorable Game 1 and the confident, untouchable ace that made it his own. @YahooSports sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/ml…

- As a former college pitcher with a surgically repaired elbow ligament… I have very little issue with this. Kid was a 19th rounder last year who went back to school to win a title, not a future big leaguer risking millions. He’d tell you the same.Not big time… LEGENDARY!

- “We're part-Canadian almost, you know?” 25 of the 26 players on Toronto’s World Series roster are not Canadian. And yet, many have developed a sense of national pride. I asked a bunch of them what it’s like to represent a country that you aren’t from.
- Jackie Robinson Day is pure celebration — and that’s the problem. Wrote about how MLB's unwillingness to connect the larger lessons of Jackie's life to the current moment is a disappointing missed opportunity.
- “His ringtone is ‘Top Gun.’ He has a Porsche 911 and drives the speed limit, He’s happy, always laughing, fun to be around.” On Jorge Polanco, October’s newest hero.
