There are non-contenders out there (Miami, Baltimore, etc.) who I bet would love to acquire him and give him another shot. Who wants to bet that Hahn got on the phone with Yermin today and told him they will make every effort to trade him over the next 8 days but he's got to publicly apologize and confirm his commitment to the game. I'm thinking he gets moved in the off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't most minor league players get a bonus for signing? Minor league baseball sucks but it is a choice they make to have a shot at greatness. Is it any different than a struggling artist waiting tables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I wonder if someone went to Yermin and told him if he didn't STFU there was no way he could be traded anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually you could keep a slumping catcher around for defense. He might want to recall Luke Easter who was a minor league hero. He can catch. He hasn't strictly DH'd in the minors. Terrible teams often take chances on helping someones defense. Semien got better, Narvaez got better. Good luck Yermin a lot of people are wishing that you pursue your dream and stay focused . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor league baseball sucks but it is a choice they make to have a shot at greatness. Is it any different than a struggling artist waiting tables? I made well over $25 an hour waiting tables when I was in college. I would work 6-7 hour shifts typically. Could ditch my shifts or pick up shifts as I wished. Would take off exams. Everything was scalable. I would make more over the year working 20-25 hours a week than basically any minor league that wasn't on the 40 or a bonus kid. These guys are basically on a 7 day commitment all season. Have to stay in shape, etc. It's much easier to be a server than your average minor leaguer .

macsandz Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 All those praising Kopech for his candor and honesty on mental health issues need to view Yermin through the same lens. This has been brewing for a long time and is more than just "drama" or "immaturity". Yermin a good dude. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Lol Yermin. Glad someone calmed him down. He's pissed any trade value he may have had away, but let him rake until September in AAA. Call him up as the third catcher for a few DH starts, and see if you can get something for him in the offseason when its all blown over.

fathom Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Shane Riordan had a sourced update on this. He said Yermin is pissed he didn’t get a chance to catch and he’s just not mature enough to handle this. It’s worth listening around the 3PM mark on Parkins show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 My attempt at translating Yermin's IG post "I'm never going to give up. I lasted 10 years in the minors, I always understood that the process is great but the talent and what I showed speaks for itself. With the most humility I'm speaking from the heart. My dream is to be an established player in MLB. I always asked God to give me the opportunity he gave me 3 months ago. I owe my family, my organization, and my fans an apology (new mind?) if I have failed something. I have baseball in my blood and now Yermin Mercedes is missing. Thank God for guiding me on the right path and making the right decision. Everyone that is going through my situation, hold onto the hand of God, He can do it all, and forget the critics and bad comments that are always going to exist to run over? trample? one's personality. God bless y'all, I love everybody I'm back" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
