Top Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez has suffered a torn UCL, manager Aaron Boone told reporters (including Brendan Kuty of The Athletic) this afternoon. The news obviously brings the youngster’s 2023 campaign to a close, and will impact the start to his 2024 season as well. Speaking to reporters (including Kuty) through his translator, Dominguez confirmed he would be undergoing surgery, saying “The plan is to go through surgery as soon as possible and try to recuperate as soon as possible.”
A consensus top-50 prospect in baseball at the time of his promotion earlier this month, Dominguez’s big league career was off to a hot start despite just nine games of experience at the Triple-A level before reaching the show: in 33 trips to the plate with New York, the 20-year-old slashed a phenomenal .258/.303/.677 with four homers, a double, and a stolen base while playing a solid center field for the Yankees. Dominguez’s September cup of coffee was on track to put him firmly in the mix for a starting role entering the 2024 season, though this news surely puts that possibility into question.
Tommy John surgery is unlikely to wipe out the youngster’s entire 2024 campaign. The aforementioned 9-10 month recovery timeline would put Dominguez in position to return around the All-Star Break next year, though a more optimistic timeline is certainly possible. Yankees fans will surely remember shortstop Didi Gregorius undergoing the procedure in October 2018. He managed to return as the club’s everyday shortstop in early June, just under eight months after undergoing the procedure.
Of course, Phillies superstar Bryce Harper made a record-setting return from the surgery earlier this year, joining the club’s lineup just over five months after undergoing the procedure. That being said, fans likely shouldn’t expect a similarly speedy recovery for Dominguez. The 20-year-old youngster is still at the very beginning of his career as a big leaguer, and it would hardly be a surprise if the Yankees decided to take their time with the top prospect’s rehab. Additionally, Harper returned to the lineup as a DH for Philadelphia. By contrast, the Yankees have veteran slugger Giancarlo Stanton firmly entrenched as the club’s everyday DH for the foreseeable future. To this point in the season, Stanton has made just 32 appearances in the outfield, and it seems unlikely the Yankees would move him to an everyday outfield role to accommodate a quicker return for Dominguez.
With Dominguez unlikely to serve as a reliable option in center field for at least the first few months of 2024, the injury highlights New York’s need for outfield help as they look ahead to the coming offseason. Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger stands at the front of the coming market for outfield options, with Tommy Pham, Teoscar Hernandez, Jorge Soler, and Michael Brantley representing other potential options set to hit the open market this winter. The Yankees are also known to have looked into the trade market for outfield help at the trade deadline this year, with a particular interest in Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson. While no deal came together before the deadline this summer, it’s certainly feasible trade talks could be revisited in the coming offseason.
Has God forsaken the Yankees? Is this a sign?
Yes
His range of Martian is limited
No, just a damn shame. I don’t care who they play for, rivalries aside, it’s a bad thing for all baseball when such young electric players have major injuries.
Even playing against you theyre fun to watch.
And even though you talk a big game, you secretly want them to get this first hit. As long as it doesn’t affect the course of the game.
Agreed to both.
If he only played like 12 games above double A then a cup of coffee is he really Darryl Strawberry already?! I love new talent but durability gets you your tenure. I hope he makes a speedy recovery. It sucks being a Braves fan if the Yankees suck too. #neverforget
There have been many signs, this is just one.
No, this entire season with all the bloody slings and arrows of outrageous fortune are entirely the fault of that godforsaken roof in Houston. Stupid roof.
Dammmmit!!!!!!!!
A huge loss…the Yanks likely will scrub the 2024 youth movement built around Dominguez and find an available (and pricey) veteran to fill the center field hole.
Who knows is there’ll even be a spot in the lineup for Jasson when he recovers? I can’t envision the Yankees “holding a job” for him hoping he returns to the form he flashed in these eight games.
Of all the FAs named as possible replacements above, only one is an actual OF, and the rest are DH’s. Though it would be fun to see some of them try to play CF. If you’re not going to win, may as well make it entertaining..
What else is weird is that one of the best pending available free agent CF’s wasn’t included in the list. Kevin Kiermaier is on a one year deal with Toronto. To date, he’s putting up a 3.5 WAR season with a 111 ops+ and his usual great defense. Bellinger is the only guy on that list having a better season.
Get well get well soon we want you to get well.
The Yankees are jinxed and so is their medical staff. Might as well fire them all at this point and hope for better luck. The amount of injuries they have had this year is ridiculous. Damn….
LOLYanks
You ever wonder what life would be like if your mom didn’t drink while she was pregnant with you?
Beam this guy up.
Lol Yankees fans
Sadly, that is exactly the kind of reaction is looking for. Makes him feel validated. Just don’t respond. That always destroys a troll.
How does a guy have zero injuries in a three-year minor-league career and five games into a major league career tears his UCL?
The good thing is he’s only 20. He should get through it.
Are you not familiar with the residual outcome of displeasing the baseball gods?
Roids
Back in the lineup on 6/2024.
This sucks.
Dominguez just wants to feel like a big Leaguer and to fit in with Judge, Rizzo and Stanton, who each have private suites and monogrammed towels on the I.L.
“the 20 year old slashed a phenomenal .258″…I’m glad that the bar was lowered, makes goals much more attainable with my half-assed approach.
Put away your glove and spikes. His OPS was .980. Pretty “phenomenal” for a 20 year old, albeit in a small sample size.
No way, man…I’ve already got them down from the attic and dusted them off.
BR could have juiced their copy more by claiming the rookie phenom slashed an insanely perfect 1.000/1.000/4.000 in his first MLB appearance for a mind-melting 400 wRC indicating he is 4 times better than an average MLB player.
The way it’s presented here is just so ho-hum…
You cut off his slugging line, which is pretty obviously what the writer was referring to. Imagine looking at only batting average in the year 2023 to judge how much a player is producing at the plate.
Imagine looking at 31 AB and thinking that provides any statistical value at all.
So if a player goes 4/4 in one game, you aren’t allowed to say they had a great game because it’s a small sample size? It’s just a fact that he has been good in his brief time, it’s really not that deep.
You can say whatever you want, but it’s not predictive of the future performance. Just say he had a 4-for-4 game. Why use slash lines when a guy has had 31 ABs? It’s just sensationalism.
Pangolin
It really doesn’t
They are just stating that a player has hit .400/500/.800 in the last week or whatever.
It’s fine.
If, in 2023, people think that’s predictive, that’s on them at this point
: Gets on soapbox:
Also, the OBP/ISO/wRC+ triple slash is better than the AVG/OBP/SLG triple slash
: Gets off soapbox:
@Pangolin
The writer didn’t say it was predictive. He said it’s phenomenal for a cup of coffee as a kid that NINE games above AA prior to his call up and already had 4 HRs in his 8 games. To do that at 20 years old and having barely faced advanced pitching up until this point… Yanks fans have every right to be excited by the small sample size.
You are arguing against a point nobody made. I’m sure there’s a name for whatever fallacy that is you’re using over there
“Imagine Looking at only batting average in the year 2023″…Imagine looking at only on-paper analytics in the year 2023, to judge how much a player is producing at the plate. Also “Imagine” firing your most experienced, seasoned traditional scouts, to hire Ivy League, analytics “gurus” who have little experience or knowledge in baseball. If you do this, you’ll be lost and underperforming, just like the high priced, overpaid “analytics”-crazed New York Yankees.
Mlb fan
Good thing. No one does that
Have a good sunday
MLB fan lol what sort of projection is this.
Imagine completely ignoring batting average. Imagine a whole team of Dave Kingmans, Joey Gallos, and Adam Dunns.
Stymee
No reason to ignore it. Look at it when you look at K% and BB% (well look at hits/plate appearance. No real reason to look at batting average)
OBP/ISO/wRC+ are the first line you look at
Then you can look at K%, BB% and H%
Nah…it would’ve killed the joke. On a serious note, I hope he has a complete and speedy recovery.
The writer ought either say “while posting a phenomenal .677 slugging percentage” to which virtually no one would disagree or NOT use the word ‘phenomenal’ when touting the slash line. Neither the .258 BA or .303 OBP is noteworthy in any way.
Dev
Even better
“a phenomenal 161 wRC+ (.303 OBP and .419 ISO)
The Yankees just can’t have nice things.
How and when did this happen!!!????
Happened the other night in the bathroom after the game. Locked the door, looked in the mirror, started moving the arm to fast and SNAP!
I told you we put it in too early!
Not poopy, feces laden
WTFFFFF!!!
Pretty obvious what happened here. Dominguez’s body wasn’t ready to play this many games in a season yet. Yankees rushed him up too soon. He probably got this tear from trying to throw his hardest on every play because he wanted to show off to the fans and show that he belongs. I like the kid but I think hes definetly overrated. His sample size is very small. Next year hes likely not playing in the majors as he wasn’t even major league ready at this point. No spring training and I doubt they are just gonna let him do a couple of rehab games and then throw him into the fire. I actually think this falls on the owner. He wanted Dominguez up so he could sell tickets with the Yankees season at a loss. Absolutely pathetic and I’m surprised to be saying this about the Yankee org. There organization is not as bad as the Mets but its getting closer than a lot of people think
Mets dude your takes are usually fairly decent, but on this one you looked like young Willie Mays’ first at bat against Satchell Paige.
1) he’s out after 126 games, in 2023.
2) In 2022, he played 120 games in the minors, plus another 20 in Fall League.
3) don’t know how he hurt it, maybe he WAS hot dogging, you might be right
4) there’s a lot of reasons to criticize Yankee decision-making these last several years, but bringing this kid up when they did is not one of them. He was obviously “ready” – until the league finds his weaknesses – and playing their kids is EXACTLY what the Yankees should be doing this September, to be a better club next year than they were this year.
@Astros Hot Takes I disagree. There is no point in rushing a guy up when they aren’t ready, especially at his age. If Dominguez was 23/24 then yeah definetly call him up. At his age with his production, it made no sense. He wasn’t putting up Juan Soto or Julio Rod stats. Now he takes up a 40 man roster spot and gets credit for service time. It just seems like a money making ploy in my opinion. Ruins the kid’s development
LFGMets (Metsin7) #FireBillyInEppler;
The owner can put robots and monkey’s in Yankee uniforms and 40,000-plus will show up to see every game at Yankee Stadium. It’s a large metropolitan area, plus tourists want to stop off and see a game. Doesn’t matter who’s on the team or who they’re playing.
As for Dominguez – we won’t know for at least a few years. But I will say that Yankee prospects are overrated – primarily by the Internet baseball prospect sites looking for clicks which translates to more advertising and more salary. The local papers also do better selling the future – as in all markets covering their MLB team. The Yankees and their media are pushing Anthony Volpe as the next Derek Jeter…and best of all, he’s from the area. The sad fact is that the Cincinnati Reds – The CINCINNATI Reds – have 4 – FOUR – young SS’s that are ALL better prospects than Volpe (if one watches the games as opposed to reading people that can’t get jobs from a major league organization that do prospect rankings…and all pretty much do groupthink).
I’ve been writing here for years that the Yankees were headed for a collapse similar to the mid-60s, and for the same reasons – the core they had got old at the same time, they didn’t have replacements in the minors, and other teams in the AL had passed them by building solid organizations with quality young players that were trained properly to play ML ball in their minor league system. The Yankees cannot play with the O’s and Rays over the next 3-5 years; the Red Sox are far ahead of them organization-building wise; and the Jays basically do the Yankee thing – trade whatever prospects they have to buy up high-priced veterans to “fill holes” in an attempt to “Get over the top”.
Agree on the AL East team assessments. Baltimore might even stretch it beyond 5 years if they play their cards right.
Actually, it will be more than 5 years.
just found this quote (though I’ve been accustomed to dating it from the day of Rutschman’s arrival in the bigs)
“The Orioles have been progressing since 2021 in September,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said the other day. “They were swinging before, swinging a lot. Now their chase rate is down. They put the ball in play, they play good defense. There’s a reason why they’re the best team in the American League.”
mlb.com/news/orioles-showing-they-re-not-one-year-…
(Fart noise) let’s all feel bad for the Yankees now
A lot of guys tearing their UCL lately…
I just tore mine throwing a bottle of Fiji water across my living room after reading this article 🙂
The injury epidemic gets worse each year in MLB, and no one notices it or talks about it (the same way it was with steroid use for over a decade)…..let alone does something about it.
Fans don’t watch games – they watch highlights; argue numbers on spreadsheets; and talk about launch angles, how fast the ball was thrown or hit, and the percentage of K’s a pitcher has, how much a player is being paid, etc. If a name batter is hitting poorly he’s “unlucky”…. same goes with name pitchers going bad.
Then again, organizations that play smart fundamental baseball on the field tend to have far less injuries – they’re just lucky that way.
–
And the funniest thing….
Runners used to slide into defenders covering bases. Defenders used to run into unpadded walls and fall into the stands. Pitchers used to throw at batters. So a bunch of feelgood rules were passed to outlaw those sorts of things. Now opposing players can now hug one another at the bases during a game. But for some reason, serious injuries to players are at an all-time high.
Go figure.
Thousands of Internet sites covering MLB 24/7/365, and not a one discusses this.
Samuel,
You really showed that cloud. Nice work.
youtu.be/tJ-LivK4-78?si=ZZYEXylmePauyg6x
Samuel: I’m not sure whether there are more injuries or if they’re just reported more often. I agree, analytics are garbage. A poster wrote earlier this season that he doesn’t need to watch the game. Analytics will tell him what the batter will do before he does it. These people are most lik
Samuel: I’m not sure whether there are more injuries or if they’re just reported on more often. I agree, analytics are garbage. A poster wrote earlier this season that he doesn’t need to watch the game. Analytics will tell him what the batter will do before he does it. These people are most likely gamers. Throwing at batters after hitting a HR or getting too close to the plate…I once saw a pitcher throw at a player in the on-deck circle because he was timing pitches. I miss Bob Gibson.
Avenger65
Trying to decide what’s dumber, thinking you can predict an at bat with analytics or decrying analytics because one idiot thinks they can predict an at bat with analytics.
Actually, I’m not trying to decide. Who cares. Those are both stupid ideas
ankle-biter…
Ah-HA – that’s where you get your philosophies of professional baseball from.
Fact really bother your generation – it’s easier to make fun of knowledgeable people.
I figured you for a kid.
You’ve proved to have nothing of value to write.
Mute.
Samuel, leaving pitchers aside, since they are notoriously susceptible to blown arms, I’m pretty sure this is The Year of the Injury – seems way more rampant than ever, to me; but I have NO idea how to study the question – a good method might be to look at the number of players each year who have appeared in at least 140 games (adjusting that for the additional position roles due to expansions since 1961)
Regarding your 2nd paragraph about fans – I don’t think most of them are really any different than they were in 1920 – they argued then, they pored over box scores and newspaper and magazine analysis and prediction back then, they loved stars and big names….hot stove league goes WAY back
Your views on fundamental, smart, baseball are always appreciated by me, and generally very apt
I think there ARE way more injuries now, than previously; but I was thinking through baseball history about this, and here’s what I came up with :
Babe Ruth abdominal issues, non-baseball related
Eric Davis, non-baseball related, cancer
Bagwell, couple broken hands from hbp
Red Schoendienst tuberculosis, non-baseball related
Ted Williams had MANY a broken bone, all baseball related
Joe Dimaggio, one MAJOR fluke injury, non-baseball, then the ongoing heel thing, and
Mantle, pretty fluke, chasing a fly ball
Now, more to the point, I remember MANY hamstring injuries of long duration in the 1980s
But, the ONE I remember distinctly, was Bobby Tolan blowing out his achilles tendon; what I DIDN’T know, was how that happened :
“On January 7, 1971, Cincinnati Reds star Bobby Tolan ruptures his Achilles tendon while playing basketball. Tolan will miss the entire season and will never regain the form that he displayed in 1970, when he batted .316 and stole a league-leading 57 bases.
Tolan will not be streaking along the paths until June 1 at the earliest. The centerfielder. who helped the Reds to the National League pennant, ruptured the achiles tendon in his right leg Wednesday night during a Reds’ basketball game in Frankfort, Ky., and underwent surgery here Thursday at Christ Hospital. The operation was termed a success, but he will be out until at least June 1. Manager Sparky Anderson, reached at his home in California. said. “It’s a dying shame. This is a jolt, I know how the players feel about this. They’re sick about it.
“We can’t lose that much bat I I’ll just have to juggle around and compensate somewhat.””
Neither Sparky nor GM Bob Howsam really approved of the Reds basketball offseason league
Astros Hot Takes;
I believe some organization can do a study and publish, but start with this…
Hoe many position players start 145 games a year, and how many starting pitchers start 28 games a year?
Fact is that teams go through at least low-20 position payers each year, and well over 30-plus pitchers. The amount of transactions are ridiculous, and most of those are not from trades or other outside transactions – it’s from players gong up and down from the minor leagues. We can look at the IL, but how many of those are phony injury claims so that gassed players can be rested while fresh youngsters come up from the minors for a coming series or two. Which then leads to the question – Why are so many payers gassed?
You’re an Astros fan. They’re one of the teams I follow. While they have injuries, I’d like to see how they stack up against other teams. It’s not scientific, but it seems to me that crummy teams that don’t play fundamental baseball seem to have far more more injuries than teams that do.
Nevertheless, as with J surgery, there’s an epidemic going on.
–
Want to start an Internet site together to cover MLB without using generalized statistics and putting all teams into little boxes? Almost all sites do that now. I believe there’s a market of fans that understand the game out there that currently have no where to do.
@Samuel – yes, think about it a lot, have plenty of ideas, and have a spare website sitting around – let’s do it! Are you on twitter or facebook?
No.
But I have had an idea how this can be done inexpensively for years.
They may censor any communication we post here – and that’s understandable. However….
If you can set a couple of small window times of day (specify time zone) and where we can connect I contact you there within minutes after you post it here.
Will check back her if you respond, of chase you down under other articles.
What the actual…..
He’s a Martian. He’ll be back next week.
Everytime a young baseball prospect has an injury like this, it is a loss to everyone, no matter who he plays for.
They are the ones to (hopefully) grow the game in the future.
This one belongs to the Reds: I’m not happy that Dominguez got injured. I’m just glad the Yankees won’t have “the youngster” in the lineup to help the Yankees. They’re going to have to rely on “the oldsters” to fill in the gaps.
“This one belongs to the Reds” post a bad take challenge…impossible
The funny thing about this is that he was likely brought up with an eye towards him starting opening day, being eligible for Rookie of the Year, which might net them a draft pick. If this were the old system he would be in AAA delaying his service clock.
Next year they likely have to start him on the IL, you can’t generally option players when they’re hurt. So he’ll accumulate his service time, and he likely won’t be back in time to make a serious run at ROTY.
They lose his services, they lose the long term control, *and* they lose the draft pick.
Old system or not, the Yankees promoted three rookies to play out the season. As long I can remember, the Yankees have never played the service clock game. Fwiw, Bryce Harper had TJS on 11/23/22 and was back in the lineup on 5/2/23.
Harper was also back playing DH. Does anyone want to try the Stanton in the OF farce again?
Oh yeah that guy. He’s going to miss a third to a half season anyway.
First time in about 30 years that everything didn’t go the Yankees’ way in a season.
Tough break Yankees. The kid was doing really well. Wish him a speedy recovery.
oh man NYY top prospects with career altering arm injuries. First Brien Taylor and now this…! 1993 vs 2023 wow
Jassoby Domingubury
“Consensus top 50 prospect”?
Umm, no he’s not.
Says you…..there are so many rating services it’s tough to keep track.
Notice you don’t see Arron Hicks and Jasson Dominguez at the same time… just a conspiracy idea.
phenomenal .258/.303/.677
Phenomenal ???
A near-1.000 OPS is in fact “phenomenal” for a 20 year old who has a whopping 17 games above AA in his career. The sample size is very small. If he went 2-2 on his next two ABs he’d have an AVG over .300, which apparently commenters think is more important than OPS
He was hurt every game since his callup and still put up pretty darn good numbers. My fear here is his cannon arm will never be the same that will eventually force Dominguez to LF. This is why I want to see Florial succeed as i dont see Pieria as the solution.
A great start, then smited by the bb gods.Too much too soon. A sad irony.
There are baseball years that are cursed. That’s just the way it is. Every move you make goes bad, freak injuries, unexplainably bad play, There’s no question that the Yankees have a real problem at the front office and managerial level, but this kind of stuff is just….
lmao what is going on here?
Just two old jerks yelling at clouds.
This is two Ryan Homes Alpha males vying for dominance. Goatees, an entire wardrobe of sweat-wicking attire, a ford f250 they use to haul one tube of caulk every 2 years. You know, big time winners.
@TheTrotsky
Not the comment we need, but the one that we deserve
Darn shame. But the kid is clearly living up to the hype, which is cool to see. Another tantalizing talent who should hopefully be a star in the league for years to come.
Seeing the no-hitter after nine innings made me think about this runner on second base rule. What if a pitcher retired all 27 batters but the score was tied 0-0 after nine innings? Now suddenly there’s a runner on second base? What? My head hurts.
It’s amazing what Cashman has done to this team.
I hope the tea parties with Hal are fun.
Well at least he’ll be making his full M.L.B. pay..
Wait for all I’ve heard about this guy he’d only slashing 258/.303/.677? I probably wouldn’t call a 980 OPS “phenomenal” for a season, never mind 33 PA.
Davis Schneider has a phenomenal line (1.342 OPS) and at least that’s over 90 PA this year.
Dominguez was off to a fine start and had a few dingers. Let’s not go crazy with the Yankees love.
Not many players in baseball have an .980+ OPS while playing a premium position, nonetheless at 20 years old. Time would’ve only told whether it was sustainable but it robs baseball of potentially seeing a young exciting player with an athletic skill set to start their career off. Not good for baseball regardless of what team and the Yankees rarely have prospects back up the hype so it was exciting for myself and the fans. Actually was giving me a reason to look forward to watching the games.
You were right, perhaps the only reason at this point. I have lost total interest in the team for much of this year, but the margin give me a reason to pay attention. Now, not so much
Does anyone know how he got hurt? None of the articles attribute it to anything. Just we scanned his elbow and he’s screwed is all the insight I’ve found
I wonder what ever happened to Kevin Maas…
Cody is the choice now. He can handle center for the time being and can either slide over to left or take over at 1st for Rizzo after next year.
The dog from Life Aquatic?
Yankees are going into full 1965 mode.
Steve Whitaker!!
Frank Tepidino!!
Roger Repoz!!!
They’re baaaaaack!!
when did a .258 batting average become phenomenal? what word would describe Tony gwynn?
Gwynn? Probably “legendary” since there might be 2 or 3 other contact hitters EVER that you could put in his class.
When you have to use one of the all time greats the game has ever seen to put down a 20 year old you should probably start to question your baseball acumen.
You know I only was old enough to see the back end of Gwynns career but I remember Ichiros and it felt like he never struck out. I just checked and to see that Ichiro struck out 1080 to Tony Gwynn’s 434 is mind boggling to me.
Poster boy for why MLBPA needs to agree to some form of international draft. Kid was reserved for Yankees only at age 13 by his father. Signing 16 yr olds to professional contracts is simply wrong and needs to stop.
Hope he recovers and has nice career, but more at stake with this systemically than one player. Quality pkayers should be available to any team at an age when they are no longer subject to child protection laws.
One of the funniest articles I have ever read on here. Took me a good 35 minutes to stop laughing. Wonderful karmic retribution for petulantly hitting 12 batters in a 13-game season series. We see you, Don, and your grace is endless.
I think you need to get a little better grasp on karma being you are celebrating a horrible event in the life of a 20 year old. Probably coming right back at yah if I’m guessing.
Or maybe karmas already doing it’s thing since it took you 35 minutes to read a few paragraphs and it seems like the Yankees live in your head rent free lol.
Does Jasson gain service time since he was on the mlb roster at the time of injury?
Whenever a guy has a major injury this site becomes the worlds worst open mic comedy show with a bunch of geriatric nerds doing their “back in my day” bits but oh man when it’s a Yankee, it’s like someone at the old folks home switched the blood pressure meds out for meth.
Tough break. That’s awfully young for TJS for a position player.
Giancarlo Stanton is always just a hangnail away from “firmly entrenched as the team’s DH”
Yankees will sign Ohtani now – Hal’s “Tommy John Surgery Buy 10 Get 1 Free” punch card is complete!!!!
Wasn’t Yamamoto killed over Bougainville in 1943?
Right now, someone somewhere is saying to themselves, “Isn’t Bougainville a vine or bush?”
We hope for it, but are prepared for it not happening. Greater likelihood, Cashman continues to dumpster dive to fill out the roster, his specialty. Now he needs a centerfielder and a left fielder. He couldn’t even accomplish one of those over the last couple of years.
Ohtani is not going to be worth the $500 million plus commitment it will cost to lock up up being that he will be on the wrong side of 30 coming off of 2 TJ procedures. Let the Dodgers hamstrung their payroll for 1 player as Ill pass!
Phenomenal?
