Yeah people forgave Chapman and haven't brought up his issues in quite a while. I'm sure the same will be done for Osuna, especially if the Astros win it again.

Yeah I mean the Stros gave up their #10 prospect, Giles, and Paulino who was never going to go anywhere with us. Cost was microscopic

Agreed. Also, fans will justify anything coming off a sweep to the Rangers.

His GF (wife) refused to help the police and charges were dropped. That helped for sure

There's nothing to justify. What do you want the fans to do?

Hes already going through a legal process in Canada and the MLB suspended him based on policy set forth.


Would it make people feel better if the Astros fans stormed the streets and demand them to trade Osuna?

News flash...most baseball players are probably douche bags...stop looking to them for moral guidance or as an example of proper behavior. This is the worst phenomena of modern American society.

Verlander and McCullers slammed that other cat for whipping his old lady’s arse.

Will be interesting to see how they handle Osuna. If they welcome him with open arms then well they are full of shite.

The Mariners have struck a deal to add righty Adam Warren from the Yankees, according to Ken Rosenthal and Emily Waldon of The Athletic (via Twitter). Other terms remain unknown.

AS others are saying this has to be a precursor to another move the Yankees are having. Taking Warren off the 40m roster to add someone else in a move.

Warren has been effective for the Yankees throughout his career so it is shocking.

I feel fine with the way Astros fans are justifying osuna.

who is looking to osuna for moral guidance? You are losing it worse than the Astros lost to the Rangers.

Cashman has been doing a ton of roster grooming the last few days. He's feeling pretty confident about something.

Media guy said yankees are making moves to clear 40 man roster space, especially for this and mainly for next year.

Yeah I think the majority of the guys they’ve given up we’re due to be put on the 40 man this offseason

isn't it a strange time for a WS contender to be clearing space on the 40 for next season? Has to be something else in the works for now.

Everyone they've pretty much given up was on the 40m

Warren
Shreve
Gallegos
Drury
McKinney

I believe were all 40m people that are gone.

Well the Yanks are going to lose a lot of high end pitching talent to the Rule-5 unless they can find room on the 40m

I do think a move is coming as well though, plus the Yankees are looking at Granderson and a possible catcher to split time with Romine until Sanchez is ready

Yeah I don’t remember the whole tweet, but I knew it was mostly a 40 man crunch for the future, good for the Yanks is they didn’t lose much in the way of current core, and gained Britton so no harm, no foul
