Mr Yzerman, it's Kyle Dubas on line 2.
If Dubas wants an impact player in his late 20s, getting a center like Larkin would be a grand slam. Larkin does have a full no trade.
When #Pirates removed Mlodzinski from the rotation, they created a very specific role for him in the bullpen. That specific role showed up last night in the 5th inning when Skenes tired. But, inexplicably, Kelly ignored that role, used another pitcher and the Pirates later lost.
@jimrome You're kind of an idiot Jim.
Oilers won 4 cups in their first 9 years. Vegas would have 2 if they win this year. Last I checked 4 in 9 is better than 2 in 9.
@_NoahHiles No offense to Jason but he’s no longer trustworthy. He will report on what the pirates want him to report on. It’s not the full truth anymore
Zero disrespect to Jason, but it’s absolute nonsense the team went out of its way to control the narrative here. Carmen was set to speak with reporters tomorrow. The team ensured he spoke with their own writer before hand. That’s wrong. Full stop. Period.
🚨WOW!! Brendan Gallagher reveals why he’d asked to get traded.
He definitely has some resentment towards how MSL and Hughes discarded his value towards the end of the season and in the playoffs.
But states Mtl and Habs fans will always remain in his heart. #GoHabsGo
Carmen Mlodzinski was placed on the Restricted List.
What does this mean?
- He will not accrue MLB service time.
- He will not count against the 40-man roster
- He will not get paid
Per source, Mlodzinski felt he wasn’t physically or mentally ready to help the team win in his role yet. Rather than play a man short, he was honest. He seems to be on board with the role and is prepared to begin on Tuesday in Houston.
Also saw him in the clubhouse earlier.
@BobSmizik Mlodzinsk obviously is strictly about HIS bottom line. As management, I do not cater to his demands and if I'm on the roster, I make it known that he's not welcome.
Mlodzinski’s decision not to play today is a serious issue and why the #Pirates put him on the restricted list. Hopefully, Mlod starts to get better advice than he has been. There figures to be hard feelings among his teammates, but they’ll likely be forgiving. The team needs him
Don Kelly said the plan was to have Carmen Mlodzinski available for tomorrow’s game.
I’d assume that means tomorrow will be a planned shorter start for Braxton Ashcraft.
