As Pedro Gomez notes in a nice profile at ESPN, after tonight’s Arizona Diamondbacks game, Jon Jay will have amassed 10-years of MLB service time... a feat achieved by only 6% of all players in history.
I’ll be honest, I was not aware that 1) Jon Jay was still in the league or that 2) Jon Jay was back on the Diamondbacks. But that is relentlessly on-brand for the man we call The Chief Justice.
Jay is a unique breed of player, and unfortunately, that often means he is written about with cliches that are meant to celebrate but instead diminish him.
