Yes, Sonny is still here. Yes, this tweet earlier (retracting today’s original lineup) was a masterful troll:
Alonso’s still here. Jed’s still here. Nothing crazy going on yet.
Sonny is taking the mound for, yet again, “MAYBE HIS FINAL START FOR OAKLAND.” Realizing the importance of upping his value, Sonny has been pitching like his 2015 self recently, posting a 1.62 ERA in his last five starts. If this is the Sonny that the Yankees/Dodgers/whoever pay for, then we’ll have quite a haul on our hands.
Pitching for Toronto is Cesar Valdez in his first start of the year.
