Chapman didn't fire a gun at his girlfriend. That would be attempted murder and he would have never played again. He fired a gun in his garage within earshot of his girlfriend.
The odds of Verlander retiring this offseason are 0, unless he blows his shoulder out in the playoffs or something. He's owed 43M next season and has said he wants to pitch into his mid-40s. There's also nothing indicating that Turner isn't playing next year.
It's wild. A SP will go like 8 shutout innings in a win, and Twitter will be full of degenerates calling him a worthless sack of s*** because he only K'd 5 and they lost their rent money betting the over on strkeouts.
I think they want the answer to be hitter . They're looking for someone to understand that OBP is more valuable than SLG, and someone with a 1.000 OBP would be the most valuable hitter in history, even if it came 100% from BBs.
That's a bad take. Most/every question is well-designed to determine whether the applicant understands a principle the team thinks is important. And it's hard to take issue with what they seem to value.
Screening test the Yankees use for entry level applicants. Actually seems pretty well-designed. Many BJMB posters would ace it.

I'm in Ottawa. Try to make it to the Rogers Centre once a year. Really, the biggest death blow was Rogers deciding to black games out on mlb.tv a few years ago.
