MLB en bref : Les Yankees ont demandé le dossier médical de Carlos Correa

(Actual baseball news: new daily feature during lockout) Yankees requested/received medicals for free agents Carlos Correa, Carlos Rodon and Yusei Kikuchi pre lockout. Smart to cover bases since 2nd free agency will be frenzied. SS/SP r needs but they do have 2 good SS prospects.

Some rare baseball news: Mets want another bat and starting pitcher after the lockout. @JonHeyman was on it last night, plus some previous reporting included that connects the dots https://t.co/6kPoKr1Ing

Are they really "negotiating" here? Do owners *really* want a deal to get done here?

Or, is this effectively just an ego play?

Hmmm. pic.twitter.com/5UyjPQaLfp

I texted with Steve Cohen who said his like of a tweet that was critical of MLB's negotiating style was "totally unintentional." Said he does not even know how to retweet. #Mets

A-Rod and Marc Lore are co-founders in a new company aiming to be a "stock market" for pro athletes, allowing fans to buy and sell players whose values rise and fall based on their performances on the field. It's called Mojo. https://t.co/WVQljtNuir
