Tanaka Experiences a Setback Described as General Soreness

Too bad for the Yanks and him...

Forearm soreness from what I've heard. Some of the talking heads are saying TJ surgery in the near future.

So sad when a team of plucky underdogs suffers a setback like this. Oh well, they have a smart front office, they'll figure a way to methodically rebuild one day. Rule 5 picks, smart drafting, they'll squeeze a wildcard out of that tiny payroll eventually.

Yeah, I'm not exactly shedding tears over this. On to their next shopping spree over the winter.

The odds of a successful rehab were always very slim.

I am hopeful the Cubs snag at least one of their pitching targets.

He'll new back for 2016. Good as ever.

Do they even need him? Every starter they throw out there pitches like Cy Young.

He'll new back for 2016. Good as ever.

Schoop can't wait.

It's a shame personally. It's good news for Yankee haters. I expected this all along.

ALWAYS expected TJ surgery. Not JUST because I have him in fantasy. It's exactly what people castigate the Orioles for! They put the best spin they can on it, then when it goes bad and it's TJ...

The Orioles are liars!

Just trying to keep ticket sales up!

The O's docs are a joke!

etc. etc. etc.

They don't know til they know. Then IT happens. Shame for Tanaka but dees are da breaks!

I love it on one hand because it's the Yankees obviously. But on the other hand he seems like such a nice guy and I feel bad for him.

They get Jeter ($12M) off the payroll, but ARod ($21M) goes back on.

Hasn't really stopped them from getting taxed in the past. Where there's a will....

This is me, I hate it for the guy personally. He's one of their guys I don't have anything against. At the same time, I love it for their team.

They didn't really lose anything calendar wise by waiting right? If he got cut at the all star break or September he was likely to miss 2015 anyway, right.

I think the Yankees were delaying the inevitable too.
