Happy Friday, Athletics Nation! I do hope your holidays have been bright.
Aside from a handful of notable free agent signings around MLB, the baseball world has remained largely fixated on dearly departed A’s legend Rickey Henderson this week. Marcus Thompson II penned a fine tribute for The Athletic that dropped on Christmas Day, which would have been Rickey’s 66th birthday.
MLB is also currently streaming eight classic games featuring Rickey for free. Yes, please!
Other than Santa Claus, Tim Dierkes at MLB Trade Rumors may have been the busiest non-elf on Earth this Christmas.
