Spring/Summer Training, 2020

[Slade]

Will we ever see Merryweather, our new Devon Travis.

Drury was placed on the injured reserve a long time ago.

 

On the 1st...I'm assuming it was Covid...I was hopeful maybe he tested negative twice and caught a flight. It will be interesting to see how quick the Covid cases get back.

My guess is no.

Speaking of Devo, he remains an UFA and did an interview with Sportsnet a couple of days ago:

UFA? Are there RFAs in baseball or something?

The restricted FA's are the ones who never get signed by anyone

Why is it so rare to find a Japanese player that speaks english?

[Abomination]

Pretty sure most of them just use it as an excuse to not do too many interviews.

Well he's not Japanese so I don't see the relevance in this question to the video you're replying to.

[Vdubfan]

Why is it so rare to find a Japanese player that speaks english?

 

Probably for the same reason that American players who play in Asia don't speak their languages.

Are you telling me that the movie Mr. Baseball lied to me?

He's not Japanese, he's Korean

[Krylian]

He's not Japanese, he's Korean

 

The sentiment stands.

Its racism

Honestly I hope he is. I heard he really helped Grichuk over the offseason, and we'll see how it plays out in the 60 games.

There's no such thing, man. Anyone not signed are FA's? This isn't hockey.

Plus they don't feel comfortable speaking English on such a platform, I don't blame them.

[Spanky__99]

 

Covid I'm guessing?

[Boxcar]

How in the hell were you unaware that he's Korean? This is like thinking Hideki Matsui or Ichiro were from Taiwan.

[Ex Player]

I can't wait to get infected.

 

Lets get this s*** over with!!!!!

This reads like something I'd post during a bender @ 3 AM...

[Krylian]

Its racism

 

Fine. Replace it with East Asian and let's include all the countries out there instead. The point doesn't change...but at least the terminology is correct now.

 

(I should've just called him Chinese).
