The latest victim to find out what’s posted on the Internet stays there forever, even if you think you delete it is Chris Austin — father of former Yankees first baseman Tyler Austin.
Since being traded to the Twins as part of the Lance Lynn deal, Austin has done exceptionally well in a limited amount of time. In eight games, the 26-year-old is 10-for-27 (.370/.400/.741) with four runs scored, three home runs and six RBIs.
This recent stretch of productivity allowed the elder Austin to air his grievances via Twitter, criticizing Greg Bird, whom the Yankees have stayed committed to despite his struggles this season.
