the Knuckleball era may be gone for good...... Steven Wright jettisoned in cost-saving move
Was that before or after he smacked his woman around?I'm still mad at John Farrell for trying to use him as a pinch runner, which directly and unnecessarily caused the injury that ruined his career.
Remember when he was an all-star before that?
He had an insane first half of 2016, but it was also entirely unsustainable considering he was giving up like 1.6 unearned runs per start. Of course his ERA is going to be low in that case.I'm still mad at John Farrell for trying to use him as a pinch runner, which directly and unnecessarily caused the injury that ruined his career.

Verlander getting rocked
That would be a major shame.
The nearly 25-year affiliation between the Lowell Spinners and the Red Sox would end under a radical reorganization proposal from Major League Baseball which leaked Friday, one that would shrink the number of affiliated minor league teams by 25 percent.
Short-season leagues, including the New York-Penn League in which Lowell plays, would be disbanded under the plan, which would eliminate 42 affiliated teams in total. Because MLB views Lowell and the Spinners’ home, Edward A. LeLacheur Park, as “good,” the franchise would continue to exist in the “Dream League,” an MLB concept in line with independent or college leagues.
Also dropping to the Dream League would be the two other New England teams in the NYPL: The Vermont Lake Monsters, affiliated with Oakland since 2011 and playing at 113-year-old Centennial Field in Burlington since the franchise formed in 1994, and the (Norwich) Connecticut Tigers.
That would be a major shame.
"Dream League"... who would care to go?
All postseason Marcell Ozuna was wearing a flourescent yellow/green compression sleeve on his arm, and every time he was at bat, it picked up the green screen ads and his arm disappeared.
From the sounds of it seems like Brooklyn would join the eastern league. I also wonder if Hartford would join triple A.

Lowell was rumored to lose the affiliation anyway. On a side note i wonder where the fisher cats would end up in a massive realignment.That would be a major shame.

Radical MiLB Realignment Proposed by MLB This article seems to imply that MLB considers 2 other NYPL teams to be worth keeping other than Brooklyn.Brooklyn could easily take Binghamton's slot - everybody else in the NYP could be out.
Big loser could be Rhode Island

Its probably one of the most unique minor league ballparks still in useNo way they take a team away from Brooklyn IMO.
