Ryon Healy Diagnosed With Spinal Stenosis
By Connor Byrne | June 17, 2019 at 10:47pm CDT
Mariners infielder Ryon Healy – out since May 21 with lower back issues – has been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. He’ll miss at least three to four more weeks as a result, according to manager Scott Servais.
Healy will undergo an epidural Tuesday in hopes of lessening the pain, per Johns. While Healy doesn’t expect the procedure to cure his problem, he suggested to Johns that the injury shouldn’t be a hindrance going forward “if we rehab it properly.”
With the Mariners firmly in sell mode leading up to the July 31 deadline, Healy has come up in trade rumors during his time on the injured list. This latest development figures to officially take him out of play as an in-season trade piece for Seattle, though. More importantly, the hope is that it won’t hamper the 27-year-old Healy as he continues his career. A spinal stenosis diagnosis in 2015 helped derail former Mets third baseman David Wright, who seldom took the field again before deciding to wrap up his playing days at the end of last season.
In addition to dealing with Healy’s ongoing absence, the Mariners will have to continue without right fielder Mitch Haniger for the time being, Johns explains. Haniger has been on the IL with a ruptured testicle since June 7. While Haniger has begun light (non-baseball) activity, there’s still no timetable for his return.

Just move them to Montreal so it can fail there again and use the time it'll take them to admit it's a failure in Montreal (again) to build a stadium in Nashville, OKC, Vegas or another super-fast growing city in the midwest that is baseball crazy right now...hmmmmm

You cannot combine two negative expected value events to create a positive EV event.
You just can't do it.

‘I’ll knock you the f--k out, bro!’: Mickey Callaway and Jason Vargas in screaming clubhouse altercation with reporter

JUN 23, 2019 | 6:54 PM
CHICAGO – After another bad loss Sunday afternoon, tension quickly escalated into hostility in the Mets clubhouse. Manager Mickey Callaway cursed out Mets beat writer Tim Healey of Newsday. Then, pitcher Jason Vargas took steps toward Healey looking for a fight before the two were separated by a handful of people.
Four words sparked Callaway to let out a string of aggravated curse words directed at Healey.
“See you tomorrow, Mickey,” Healey said to Callaway as the manager walked by the reporter in the clubhouse following the postgame presser.
“Don’t be a smartass,” Callaway said to Healey as the manager kept walking. Under his breath and turned away from Healey, but incredibly audible, Callaway called Healey a “motherf---er.”
After a minute, Callaway walked back to Healey and let out a string of curse words. The manager told the reporter not to speak like that to him, knowing he and the team are upset following the loss. Callaway made fun of the way in which Healey said, “See you tomorrow” by mimicking the reporter. Callaway said Healey meant the choice words sarcastically.
“Shut the f--k up, get out of my face. Get out of here,” Callaway said as Healey attempted to explain he did not mean to slight the manager in any way.

“Get this motherf---er out of here, he’ll be here tomorrow,” Callaway said while asking Mets PR to remove Healey from the clubhouse.
A few beats later, Vargas and Healey were in a stare down. Vargas asked Healey why the reporter is looking at him, to which Healey replied, “It looked like you had something to say.”
“I’ll knock you the f--k out, bro” Vargas said to Healey. Seconds later, Vargas charged toward Healey and the two were separated by teammates Carlos Gomez and Noah Syndergaard, as well as a Mets official, among others. Healey left the clubhouse shortly after the intense altercation.
Players in the clubhouse were getting changed and packing up their belongings to embark for Philadelphia. Wrigley Field has one of the smallest clubhouses in the league, so Callaway and Vargas could be heard from the other side of the room.
First-base coach Glenn Sherlock stood near the initial altercation between Callaway and Healey, staring and listening but not getting involved. No Met player besides Vargas made any move to get involved, either, until Vargas had to be separated from Healey.
Edwin Diaz shouted, “Sacalo! Sacalo!” meaning, “Get him out,” after Vargas and Healey were separated. Players wanted Healey to exit the clubhouse before the altercation heightened further. Healey briefly spoke with Mets PR, saying he didn’t mean anything by the comment, before removing himself from the situation.
Callaway was particularly irked before he cursed at Healey. During the postgame interview, Mets beat writer Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports asked Callaway if he should reconsider using closer Edwin Diaz for a five-out situation.
"No, just because you think so? Absolutely not. We have a very good plan. We know what we’re doing and we’re going to stick to it,” Callaway said.
General manager Brodie Van Wagenen was at the Mets game, but he left to catch a flight at the final out. He was not expected to be in attendance for the Mets’ four-game series against the Phillies on Monday. However, those plans may be forced to change following Sunday afternoon’s intense events.
On Sunday night, the Mets issued an official statement.
“The Mets sincerely regret the incident that took place with one of our beat writers following today’s game in the clubhouse. We do not condone this type of behavior from any employee. The organization has reached out and apologized to this reporter and will have further discussions internally with all involved parties.”

Re: London series
Edit- well, that didn’t age well. Must be the thin London air.
Edit 2- okay, they are playing in a sandbox and the Yanks are mashing this bullpen
