Zach Britton Is Zack Britton Now

Big news today involving a former Orioles star.

No, Manny Machado has still not signed a contract. Former Baltimore closer Zach Britton has announced that he wants to be known as Zack now.

It was initially unclear whether the tweet was a joke or not, but the Yankees later sent a press release confirming the change.

“Please note that Zack Britton has asked to have the spelling of his first name corrected to Zack (ending with a k),” the team said. “Could you please apply this change to all online usage, TV graphics and printed materials going forward?
