Brittany Ghiroli of The Atheltic is reporting that there was a secret “fight club” for MLB players during the pandemic. It was run by New York Yankees trainer and strength/conditioning coach Eric Cressey.
He ran a performance gym in Florida that played host a number of top players, who kept the whole thing on the hush-hush, hence the “fight club” comparison. New York stars Giancarlo Stanton, Noah Syndergaard, Michael Wacha, and Robert Gsellman were all present at the facility. They were joined by megastars like Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Paul Goldschmidt, and Corey Kluber.
