Tim Browne with Yahoo Sports wrote an incredibly hilarious story about things guys at the Futures Game can’t do. So what I can’t hit a home run to the third deck of Progressive Field, at least I can make mac and cheese. Beat that, Gavin Lux.
Around the league ...
Sports Illustrated asked their staff if they believe every MLB team should have an All-Star representative. The answer was an overwhelming yes.
Christian Yelich will no longer participate in the 2019 Home Run Derby, giving the rest of the players a greater chance at success.
2019 Salary:
— Ryan M. Spaeder (@theaceofspaeder) July 8, 2019
Chapman - $580,000
Yelich - $9,750,000
The winner of the Derby takes home $1,000,000, with $1,500,000 in other prizes.
Chapman, Bregman, Alonso, Bell, Acuna, and Vlad Jr. are all making less than $650,000 this season. Potential big payday for a young batsman. https://t.co/Y4CgTOVAa9
