Thursday Night Open Thread

Earlier today my main man Jon Heyman reported the Yankees have “discussed” whether they should release Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez in the second half, assuming they sell at the deadline. My guess is that conversation went something like this:

Baseball Ops Person: “We should release Tex and Alex to free up playing time for kids.”
Cashman: “Agreed. We need to start thinking about the future. Hal, Randy?”
Hal and Levine in unison: “lol no gtfo”

In all seriousness, releasing Teixeira and A-Rod should happen if the Yankees do decide to sell buy for the future. I, of course, expect absolutely none of this happen. Pro tip: Expect nothing and you’ll never be disappointed.

Anyway, here is tonight’s open thread. MLB Network will air some regional games tonight, and that’s pretty much it. Light schedule today. Talk about those games, this afternoon’s loss, releasing Teixeira and A-Rod, or anything else right here.
