Red Sox confirm this as:

 

Story had internal bracing procedure of the right ulnar collateral ligament (elbow). Dr. Keith Meister performed the surgery at Texas Metroplex Institute in Arlington, Texas.

 

Chaim Bloom will talk today.

 

Damn my LOD team preview from Greenwood won't be looking too good now.

Hmmmmmm so it wasn't the physical that killed the Mets deal, if Heyman's source is to be believed:

 

SFG - deal dead based on physical

NYM - deal dead based on Contract terms disagreement

MIN - TBD

 

Seriously? The physical led to the change of terms with NYM. Dumbass.

I just heard on one Boston channel that recovery time for that procedure could be 4-6 months, they dont know his situation though so it may be less.....Now Boston needs a SS.

All-Star Santiago Espinal?

Yeah, he'll be done for half the season.

They probably sign Elvis Andrus or Jose Iglesias. Nobody else really available as a FA.

I will be receiving some Jonathan Villar trade offers in my inbox soon.

I'm reading a book about the first 20 years of the Yankees and came across Nick Altrock, who was kept around into his 50s as a player who was allowed to play a couple times a year, basically as a jester. He hit and pitched.

 

This might be the weirdest Fangraphs page I've ever seen.

Nick Altrock was a f***ing legend

 

At age 41 he stepped to the plate and ripped a HOME RUN - just the 2nd of his career after having taken like 6 at bats since his age 32 season.

At age 47, in his only plate appearance of the season, he ripped a triple in his first at bat since he was 41 (maybe his first PA since that HR!)

At age 52, in his only plate appearance of the season - and his first since the triple mention above, he singled.

All-Star Santiago Espinal?

 

Lol ..Thats exactly what I thought. He is our back-up though.

[Ehjays]

Yeah, he'll be done for half the season.

 

They will be lucky if they see him at all this year.

[Spanky__99]

 

TJS he's gone for most if not the whole season, if true.

 

Hahaha... Bosox! F U!!!!

And 60 years later they named a style of music after him.

I feel like Story's needed TJ for 2 years now. And still Bloom signed him. Quite an interesting strategy to deal Betts and use that budget space for more, significantly worse players.

[G-Snarls]

 

Oof

 

Huge blow for the Red Sox

It's a bold strategy Cotton

Altrock seems cool but I think most around this board are more into metal

Red Sox middle infield situation suddenly be like:

Elevation... 5 feet

[Ehjays]

True. Cohen can suck a dick. Asking to re-up the physical each year is insulting and sets a pretty bad precedence for the players union

Sorry if this has already been discussed but what were the health concerns with Correa that the other teams were so afraid of?

[Jimcanuck]

Apparently an old injury that didn't properly heal. That may result in Correa breaking down and unable to play....

 

At least, that's the Twitter reporting.
