I’d say today is the last day of real work before Christmas. Everybody knows the last few days before are throw-away days, so here’s hoping everybody has an easy one in front of them today.
– The Yankees officially completed the Starlin Castro trade yesterday by announcing Brendan Ryan as the PTBNL in the deal. This was reported by multiple guys when the trade news first broke, so not really a surprise here. The deal to re-sign Ryan for multiple years was a strange one and I’m sure nobody will be sad to see him go.
