Klay Thompson’s achilles tear and the death of a Bay Area dynasty

Klay Thompson is one of most underrated superstars in the history of the National Basketball Association. But before he can truly cement his legacy, both of his legs have begun betraying him in consecutive years. First, the future Hall of Fame shooting guard suffered a severe left-knee injury during the 2019 NBA Finals. After rehabbing from that ACL tear for more than a year, he suffered a right Achilles injury on Wednesday during a scrimmage in Los Angeles with an unidentified group of NBA players. Just hours before the 2020 NBA Draft, an event where the Warriors were expected to add a top-prospect to help aid the franchise’s return to contention following an absurd 2019 campaign plagued by injuries, and a national landscape-altering pandemic, ESPN Insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Thompson suffered the injury during a workout and would eventually undergo testing to determine its severity. Almost immediately, Twitter was buzzing with outcries of prayers, love, and support for the Warriors star. Despite the risk of losing Thompson for a lengthy period of time, Golden State GM Bob Meyer made the decision to draft rim-running big man James Wiseman with the second-overall pick on draft night. Still, in need of another wing, Wojnarowski reported Thursday evening that the Warriors are in the midst of finalizing a trade to acquire Kelly Oubre Jr. for a protected 2021 first-round draft pick from the Oklahoma City Thunder. #KlayThompson #GoldenState #Warriors #Dubs #DubNation #Injury #Out #Achilles #BayArea #ChaseCenter #OracleArena #JoeLaCob #BobMeyers #sports #basketball #podcast #nba

Robinson Cano suspended for 2021: PED's...again?

Early Wednesday afternoon, Major League Baseball announced that New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano will be suspended for the entirety of the 2021 season after a second violation of the league’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. He previously tested positive for using a diuretic and missed 80 games as a member of the Seattle Mariners in 2018. This suspension is considered a second offense, and the ban automatically kicks in for a full 162-game slate, per an agreement by MLB and the players union The substance Cano tested positive for is Stanzolol; a hardcore steroid. Back in 2018, the Mets star stated the diuretic he took was prescribed by a doctor in his native Dominican Republic and was unaware the substance was on Major League Baseball’s banned substance list. “We were extremely disappointed to be informed about Robinson's suspension for violating Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," Mets president Sandy Alderson said in a statement released by the Mets. "The violation is very unfortunate for him, the organization, our fans, and the sport. The Mets fully support MLB's efforts toward eliminating performance-enhancing substances from the game.” After being caught for the second time in as many years, Cano will now be forced to forfeit his entire $24 Million salary this season. However, his current deal doesn’t expire until 2024 and the Mets remain on the hook for $40.5 Million the team still owes to the 38-year-old slugger. Joel Sherman, a columnist from the New York Post writes, “Cano’s whole career is now in question,” and that “Cano’s Hall of Fame chances drop to approximately zero. He was going to have a tough time already with an 80-game suspension in 2018 on his record. But he could argue that ban was for a diuretic and not a performance enhancer — the diuretic is verboten because it could be used as a PED masking agent.” #New #York #Mets #Yankees #RobinsonCano #Cano #PEDs #Steroids #MLB #MLBnews #MLBTwitter #MLBTwitterLive #Cohen #Suspension #Suspended

Chicago Cubs exec, World Series architect Theo Epstein resigns

After breaking curses and World Series droughts in both Boston and Chicago, longtime baseball executive Theo Epstein is stepping away from professional baseball. The Chicago Cubs President of Baseball Operations resigned from his post yesterday, paving the way for longtime understudy and current Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer to assume the day-to-day responsibilities of directing the Cubs franchise. In a long, heartfelt letter published in the Athletic yesterday, Epstein suggested that he will not seek another position in baseball immediately. Instead, the three-time World Series championship exec intends to spend more time with family and contributing to the various charities he’s involved with. “As for what I will do next, I’m not precisely sure, though I have a few things in mind. Next summer will be my first in 30 years not clocking into work every day at a major league ballpark,” said Epstein in the letter penned to the Cubs organization, obtained and published by The Athletic. The analytics-based ideology or “Moneyball” embraced by Epstein was a vital reason that the former Ivy-Leaguer became the youngest GM in major league history back in 2002. Last winter, the Cubs organization was forced to implement massive layoffs to its baseball operations and business staff due to the impact of losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Washington Post suggests he may have wanted to leave his position prior, but that he didn’t want to leave the daunting task for his successor Hoyer. (Also, he resigned one-year early in 2011 from the Red Sox so that incoming Red Sox GM Ben Cherington could get off on the right foot by hiring his own candidate for the team’s vacant managerial position). #Chicago #Cubs #Boston #RedSox #TheoEpstein #MLBnews #MLBTwitter #MLBTwitterLive #MLB #ViewsFromThePressBox #sports #baseball #podcast
