Relief pitcher Sam Dyson is being sued by his ex girlfriend for sexual battery and some other things. MLB had already suspended him for the 2021 season but obviously the battery saga continues.
Seven years is a long drought, but at least we aren’t Mariners fans.
Here is Babe Ruth dressed as Santa Claus.
Ben Zauzmer is the new Assistant General Manager for the Mets. I guess he is the backup plan in case Billy Eppler gets caught doing something indefensible. This is the Mets we are talking about after all.
Here is a link to a survey on MLB Trade Rumors about the lockout. I’m not big on surveys myself, but it is awfully hard to find anything to link to these days.

Great link with trade rumors and the poll. Overall, the fans are looking for small changes and are leaning somewhat on the player’s side.
