RIZZO TO IL WITH "LIKELY CONCUSSION"

Updated: Aug 3, 2023

that he suffered in May!


Ok. I said I was going to try to enjoy the rest of the season, but then a story like this breaks.


This is a story that says EVERYTHING about the state of the Yankees right now.


This is a story that is one that should make Hal Steinbrenner re-evaluate every single person who makes decisions in his organization.


Anthony Rizzo has likely been playing with a concussion since May! The Yankees let him play - for months.


This is the same team that brought back Aaron Judge even though he's still in pain.


These are the same decision makers who let Jose Trevino play with a wrist that needed surgery - again for months.


The Yankees are providing all of our worst fears - that they are incompetent., or, at best, they make horrible decisions. The Yankees do not know from day-to-day what is happening.


You cannot let a player with a concussion workout, travel, and play for months. Why wasn't this evaluated again and again?


The Yankees have access to the best medical professionals in the world. And they let this go on... for months?


Who will take responsibility for this?


(If I were Aaron Judge, I would tell the Yankees that I do not trust (in any way) their decision-making process. I'd ask to be shut down. I'd then go to my own doctors and have them tell me the path I should take.)


Horrible. Just horrible. I cannot even begin to believe any of this.

Scattering the Ashes.jpeg

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
