Portada del episodio Smoltz's Yankees Near-Miss: A Tale of Pay and Pinstripes

Descripción

John Smoltz, a star pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, was on the brink of joining the New York Yankees in 2001. After recovering from Tommy John surgery, he was offered a four-year, $52 million deal by the Yankees, while the Braves initially proposed a three-year, $21 million contract. Smoltz, who loved Atlanta and was open to a slight pay cut, ultimately signed with the Braves for three years, $30 million, keeping him in the bullpen until 2004 and then transitioning him back to the rotation. The Yankees quickly signed David Wells and Jason Giambi, leaving fans to wonder what could have been if Smoltz had joined the Bronx Bombers.

Marinaccio's Rise Boosts Padres' Unstoppable Bullpen

The San Diego Padres bullpen, led by star closer Mason Miller and veteran Ron Marinaccio, is proving to be a formidable force this season. Marinaccio, who has a 4.32 ERA in 25 innings, has been stepping up in high-pressure situations, recently pitching two scoreless innings while the Padres trailed by two. His performance has earned him trust from the team, and if he continues to improve, he could be called upon in high-leverage situations, further strengthening the Padres unstoppable bullpen.
