Cindi really wanted to write this piece until I explained that I wasn’t talking about the type of makeup issues she is passionate about. Still, “super-medium hottie George Tomato” is one of her new favorite players and I had to hide her phone in order to stop her from weighing in. You can thank me later.
Opinions differ on whether the A’s should be concerned, or how concerned they should be, around the “makeup issues” that have followed Jorge Mateo’s profile since “Poutgate” emerged while he was with the Yankees.
In case you’ve been sleeping in a cave, or perhaps sleeping with Jake Cave, the concerns stem from a single incidence — a 2 week suspension levied by the Yankees — in July of 2016.
