Torii Hunter, former outfielder of the Los Angels Angels of Anaheim, takes to Twitter to respond to the Josh Hamilton signing:
I was told money was tight but I guess the Arte had money hidden under a Mattress. Business is business but don’t lie.

Money was tight to re-sign you, Torii. Not tight in general. Sorry about the miscommunication. Sincerely, Jerry Dipoto.
The New York Yankees have designated Kendrys Morales for assignment.
Morales, 36, hit just .177/.320/.242 with one homer over 19 games with New York. This after he had a disastrous run with the A’s to start the 2019 season, hitting a mere .204/.310/.259 with a lone home run and seven RBI in 126 trips to the plate. Now that Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton are back there’s no room for him anyway, so it kind of doesn’t matter.
Morales had a solid year for the Blue Jays last season, posting a .769 OPS with 21 homers across 130 games, but it’s hard to see him catching on anyplace right now. Indeed, it may be the end of the line for the 13-year veteran.
