BRUTAL!

Matusz’s mother, Elizabeth, told authorities that the former athlete was battling drug issues and had made remarks like "there’s nothing left for me" and he "used to have it all."

She told police he had been clean for eight months, according to the Baltimore Banner. Two days before his death, on Jan. 4, Matusz was taken to the emergency room for reasons unclear. He was reportedly discharged that day and was advised to seek a mental health professional. He was taken to a facility but was not admitted.

He died on Jan. 6.

Santander to the Jays

5/92.5
This makes me even more upset that the Red Sox didn’t move on Teoscar. Then again, he probably wanted to stay in LA anyway.

This feels like a big overpay for Santander IMO. Nice power bat, though.

The Jays missed our on everybody else, sp they had some spending money.

It’ll be weird seeing Taters in a Jays uniform. One of the guys who truly deserves the big paycheck - a rule 5 pickup in the dark ages of the O’s who completely changed his game.

Great locker room dude too.

Current HR leaderboard under Trump, where players will pick up where they left off four years ago. Judge will probably get the edge here before too long:

134 Trout
133 Cruz
131 JD Martinez
124 Arenado
124 Suarez
123 Bellinger
118 Machado
116 K. Davis
115 Judge
114 Encarnacion
113 Gallo
111 Harper
111 Lindor
