Montas out for the Yanks. He requires shoulder surgery and will likely miss the season.

George Springer is healthy and looking ahead to Blue Jays season

After an offseason of recovery, a refreshed Springer arrived at camp eager to get to work with the team's new-look outfield.

Following the end of last season, Springer said he stayed in Toronto longer than he normally would have to allow for his concussion symptoms to subside before returning home. Only a short time after, in late October, Springer travelled to see Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas and underwent surgery to remove the bone spur in his elbow that he’d been playing through since at least June.

The bone spur was large enough that Springer explained he could feel it underneath his skin and, at its worst, he couldn’t hold his arm out straight.

2 current MLB teams play in a state with a "Don't say gay" law, where they're literally removing books out of school classrooms if they even acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ.

Of course this is still a thing.

 

[thehabhater]

That is true.

 

[MindzEye]

That is true.

and I'm not even getting into other red states with MLB teams where they're not exactly welcome either. There it's more of a "just shut the fuck up and try not to act so fucking gay in public" thing in Texas, Georgia, etc.
