Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea has previously refereed Clasicos Real Madrid released two critical statements the second of which read: "In light of the rumours that have emerged in recent hours Real Madrid CF announces that our team has never considered withdrawing from tomorrow's final "Our club understands that the unfortunate and inappropriate statements made by the referees designated for this match cannot taint a sporting event of global significance that will be watched by hundreds of millions of people and out of respect for all the fans who are planning to travel to Seville and all those who are already in the Andalusian capital "Real Madrid believes that the values ​​of football must prevail despite the hostility and animosity that have been manifested once again today against our club by the referees appointed for the final." Back in February, Real Madrid wrote a formal letter of complaint to the Spanish FA (RFEF) and Spain's High Council for Sports saying Spanish refereeing was "rigged" and "completely discredited" De Burgos Bengoetxea said: "It's not right what we are going through "Everyone should reflect about where we want to go about what we want from sport and from football." who also officiates in Uefa club and international competitions has previously taken charge of Clasico encounters VAR Fuertes added: "Have no doubt that we are going to have to start taking much more serious measures than we are taking "We will not continue to allow what is happening because we are not going to continue to bear what we are putting up with."

Barcelona’s press conferences were at 5.15pm, during which Hansi Flick had said: “We need the referees.” Madrid were due to appear two hours later. But, as they had done with the Ballon d’Or ceremony in October, they did not show up no training session and no handshake between the coaches had already decided not to attend any of the institutional events The RFEF subsequently confirmed that Madrid had told them that they would not be participating in any pre-match activities Madrid wanted the Federation to remove De Burgos Bengoetxea from refereeing duties considering his position untenable following the press conference and what they saw as a conflict of interests But they did not directly or publicly demand for that to happen and the first of their two subsequent statements stopped short of repeating that threat openly their position had been expressed through the media close to the club hierarchy which also leaked the possibility of them not turning up for the match “Real Madrid CF considers the public statements made today by the referees appointed for the Copa del Rey final to be unacceptable,” the club said in a statement “These remarks made in a premeditated manner 24 hours before [kick-off and] against one of the participants in the final demonstrate a clear and manifest animosity and hostility against Real Madrid Real Madrid expects the RFEF and the refereeing establishment to act accordingly adopting the relevant measures in defence of the institutions that they represent.” The RFEF insisted that it would not change the referees and that it expected the game to go ahead but conversations continued and the wait for confirmation went on into the evening until Madrid announced that they had never contemplated boycotting Ancelotti was not in the press room at La Cartuja at 7.15pm local time but his team will be out on the pitch at 10pm on Saturday night Referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea cried during a news conference on Friday as he detailed the impact criticism from Real Madrid’s in-house television channel and other outlets has had on him and his family De Burgos Bengoetxea, who will take charge of Saturday’s Copa del Rey final between Madrid and Barcelona became visibly emotional as he described an occasion where his son had returned home from school in tears because classmates had called the 39-year-old official a “thief” Videos pointing out alleged biases against Madrid by match officials have become regular features of Real Madrid TV ahead of big games the channel published a video compilation of alleged mistakes made by De Burgos Bengoetxea during previous Madrid matches “We’re focusing a lot on the videos on Real Madrid Television I’m not going to tell you otherwise,” he said “I’m going to tell you about situations that have happened to colleagues of mine and then you give me your evaluation because I want you to answer me “When one of your children goes to school and there are kids who tell him that his dad is a thief and he comes back home crying “What I do in my case is try to educate my son to tell him that his father is honourable I want my son to be proud of what his dad was and what refereeing is “Because refereeing has given us lots of values and there’s no right (to put us through) what we’re experiencing Lots of male and female colleagues — not (just) professional football because this affects our families — but above all at grassroots level So everyone should reflect on where we want to go and what we want from sport and football — MARCA (@marca) April 25, 2025 There had been suggestions Madrid would pull out of Saturday’s final following De Burgos Bengoetxea’s comments which the club described as “unacceptable” and showing “the clear and manifest animosity and hostility of these referees toward Real Madrid” Madrid released a second statement on Friday insisting they “never considered withdrawing” from the game “Our club understands that the unfortunate and inappropriate statements made by the referees designated for this match and all those who are already in the Andalusian capital,” the club wrote Madrid released a statement on Friday following the news conference considers unacceptable the public statements made today by the referees appointed for the Copa del Rey Final to be held tomorrow 26 April 2025,” said the club which have surprisingly placed in the spotlight videos made by a media outlet protected by freedom of expression made in a premeditated manner 24 hours ahead of the final against one of its participants these referees clear and manifest animosity and hostility towards Real Madrid to announce supposed measures or actions that are far removed from the principles of fairness objectivity and impartiality that should prevail just hours before a football event that will draw the attention of hundreds of millions of people around the world Real Madrid hopes that those in charge of the RFEF (Spanish Football Association) and the refereeing profession will act accordingly taking the corresponding measures in defence of the honour of the institutions they represent.” have indicated to The Athletic that they expect the RFEF to remove De Burgos Bengoetxea and Gonzalo Fuertes who is set to be the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) from officiating Saturday’s game after their comments When asked by The Athletic whether the officials would be sanctioned the RFEF said that no request had been made to have them removed from the game Madrid also cancelled their own planned media session with a player and head coach Carlo Ancelotti which had been scheduled for 5.15pm CET in Seville Club sources also indicated they would not be attending any of the pre-game events organised by the RFEF RFEF president Rafael Louzan told El Larguero radio show on Friday night that he had spoken with Madrid’s director general Jose Angel Sanchez He said there had not been a request to change the officiating team and in no moment had he feared that Madrid would not take part in the game “It was a very friendly conversation of 40 minutes,” Louzan said “A request to change the refs was not put on the table The CTA (referees technical committee) designated a refereeing team and that’s that.” Louzan also spoke about Madrid boycotting all the pre-game activities including Ancelotti and players not appearing for their scheduled press conferences and no club representative attending the formal dinner with the federation Barcelona’s directors and local government dignitaries at Seville’s Real Alcázar palace “I spoke with Real Madrid to tell them they had to take part,” Louzan said We all have better moments and sometimes take decisions which each of us has to judge for themselves The most important thing is we have a great game tomorrow.” While it is uncommon for referees in England the Spanish football federation (RFEF) — the body which governs soccer and match officials in the country — has held this type of news conference ahead of the Copa del Rey final for the last few years in an age where every decision can be micro-analysed on TV and social media Madrid have long been publicly vocal whenever the club feels officiating decisions have not gone their way and club president Florentino Perez has been critical of what many at the Bernabeu view as refereeing bias against their side RMTV is frequently a platform where officials are criticised The tensions between Madrid and the authorities have been heightened by the ongoing Negreira case which involves Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira the former vice-president of Spanish football’s refereeing committee who owned a company that was paid a total of €7.3million (£6.4m; $7.8m) by Barcelona between 2001 and 2018 He and Barcelona have denied the payments he received constitute any wrongdoing with the club saying he was hired as an “external consultant” who provided reports “related to professional refereeing” Madrid were angered by two decisions during their 1-0 La Liga loss at Espanyol after opposition defender Carlos Romero was not sent off for a challenge on Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior had a goal disallowed Madrid filed a formal complaint to the RFEF and the Spanish government’s High Sports Council (CSD) demanding the “immediate submission of VAR audio” Pundits on RMTV claimed the decisions proved that Spain’s Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) chief Luis Medina Cantalejo is involved in a conspiracy against their club They also called for the sacking of Carlos Clos Gomez and the departure of RFEF president Rafael Louzan Videos similar to the one produced about De Burgos Bengoetxea before the Copa del Rey final are also common Referee Alejandro Jose Hernandez Hernandez was the subject of an 11-minute RMTV package of allegedly incorrect key decisions he had made during Madrid matches ahead of taking charge of their La Liga fixture against Atletico Madrid in March 2021 they reach you,” Hernandez Hernandez told the COPE radio station in November 2023 Fuertes also addressed the media and said that there is “more unity than ever” among his 180 male and female refereeing colleagues “because of the circumstances that we have to live around us” He added that they “are going to have to start taking measures” because “we’re not going to allow what happens to keep happening” and that this group of referees “is going to make history” in men’s and women’s football Additional reporting: Tomas Hill Lopez-Menchero Here's how to watch the 2025 Vuelta a Burgos Féminas

For Worcester artist Matthew Burgos, art really is life Burgos serves as a photographer in the marketing department of Worcester Polytechnic Institute but has many dimensions to his photography including capturing images of live concerts by bands at local venues In addition to photography, Burgos also works in other artistic media, including colored pencils and graphite, noting humorously, but in a way perhaps other can understand: artists "do too much." Burgos, who recently featured as a vendor at the Worcester Punk Rock Flea Market held Sept. 28 and 29 at the Hotel Vernon In the midst of preparing for the flea market Burgos took time to talk about his art and multifacted vision I work at (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) as my main job More: It's Halloween, jazz-age style, as Haunted Speakeasy moves to Worcester Art Museum More: Janice Harvey: Regrets not asking parents about their lives in Worcester How do you get the word out about your artwork Mostly through social media. As much as I hate it, Instagram and Facebook, it's a necessary evil these days I go to all the shows with a lot of local artists — Worcester What is the most challenging aspect of that which might be immediately apparent to someone looking at the photos Going to new venues. You have no idea the range of room you have, the lighting, the crowd. I don't do a lot of large concerts, so I don't have to worry about passes and that kind of thing ... I do a lot of local bars: (Hotel) Vernon, Ralph's, Electric Haze Are there things you have learned at work that help in your art I burn out from that less than the ones with music What kinds of cameras do you like the best Now that I am shooting a lot of double exposure stuff I don't know what I'm getting until I look at a computer There are moments I know I've gotten a shot that is going to be a good shot and that is a good feeling most of the time .. I'm just shooting and capturing what I can since I am doing the double exposure-type stuff there are shot I know I can tell in the viewfinder that is a good one Kenny Burgos knew that he wouldn’t stay in politics for decades when he was elected to the State Assembly in 2020 at the age of 26. But the Bronx Democrat still surprised Albany when he announced his resignation in July after only two terms in office Although state ethics laws prevent Burgos from lobbying the state for two years he’ll still be involved in setting policy and ensuring the new organization meets the needs of landlords across the city City & State caught up with Burgos to discuss his new job This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity I interned at the finance department at the New York City Council and really got a glimpse into the city budget and government administration at that level to see what we were spending and what the council’s priorities were Then I started working for my own councilwoman Several long-serving members are retiring at the end of this term while others are leaving for other jobs It was a job made for my skills and personality I got to represent a neighborhood I grew up in and still lived in I spoke to City & State a year ago and we talked about the length of officials in office, when Dick Gottfried resigned I think we passed the era of a decades-long official There was the thought in the back of my mind how much I can give to the legislature I always had in the back of my mind (that) I wouldn’t be in elected office for decades to come I saw how difficult it can be to raise a child while being in Albany half the year and that was a heavily weighing factor in terms of leaving the legislature What was it about advocating for the city’s smaller property owners that interested you specifically Growing up in the Bronx is a huge part of it I have family who are small property owners who try to maintain their homes and try to make it in the city That issue is often conflated with larger landlords and there’s been a heavy depiction of what a landlord is in New York City Working to help small property owners for me was a main focus for me because we have a housing crisis in the state and the city and it’s been this way for decades Why are the Rent Stabilization Association and Community Housing Improvement Program merging to form the New York Apartment Association We can’t continue on this path of a housing emergency NYAA will be focused on increasing and preserving affordable housing We’re going to do that by reducing the cost of housing There's a lot we can do to work with the government together including property tax reform That’s the main reason why NYAA was formed We know there's a housing crisis and we want to work with everyone Renters and housing providers are losing in this current system and there’s an opportunity to align their interests and (ensure) the future viability of New York City Some landlords are concerned that their interests won’t be heard because of the merger How will you work with owners in both groups to ensure their needs are met Real estate is a big industry in the state and the goal of NYAA is to be a voice for all owners I would say we’re about 95 to 98% on alignment on issues We have professionals here who have been working for decades to address their concerns We need to make sure we hear them out on all the unique needs that owners are experiencing How are you working to deal with a two-year ban on lobbying We have our own internal procedures and operate fully by the law to make sure I'm completely walled off from these conversations The organization handles a lot more than state legislative priorities (the state Department of Housing and Community Renewal) One way NYAA has been described is triple-A for multi-family property owners because we deal with lease services and safety notices and other issues I’ll be handling a lot of that work to provide value to owners and we’ll have a team to make sure legislative priorities are progressing A version of “good cause” eviction finally passed after several attempts but many landlords are expressing concern over how it will work How can the law be tweaked to ensure that tenants can remain protected and landlords have stable tenants The housing package that was passed took some small steps on housing “Good cause” is a new law and NYAA will help our members comply with it We expect it will be a larger part of housing policy We still have a lot of conversations to have with housing providers and renters You co-sponsored a bill with state Sen. Leroy Comrie to increase rents on vacant regulated apartments Would you be open to making changes so that rents wouldn’t rise significantly but landlords can still get the funding they need to make necessary repairs One of our top goals here is to decrease costs on operating housing Everyone is concerned to keep rent as affordable as possible which is predicated on decreasing the cost of housing we’re open to decreasing costs in order to create more homes What can landlords do to help the city tackle the migrant crisis Will you be working with asylum seekers and shelters providers directly We have thousands of property owners representing thousands of units throughout the city which we should be making a priority to get back online Any goal or initiative that increases the supply of housing is going to help tackle the housing crisis however it relates to migrants or New Yorkers struggling to get an apartment And NYAA can absolutely be part of that solution What do you think about congestion pricing Should the governor unpause the program or should it be altered in any way I’m on record having many reservations on the congestion pricing policy I believe congestion pricing is going to continue to perpetuate a system we have in this city where it's a tale of two cities Certain boroughs are expensive due to tolling It’s part of that and should be looked at not just in regards to transportation policy but housing policy What role will NYAA play on property tax reform going forward NYAA is going to be on record that the property tax system is broken as many of our members have been saying for many years There have been lawsuits exposing the injustices of the property tax system If possible we will propose legal action. It’s never out of the question. We saw the TENNY lawsuit exposing the property tax system for being unjust and how it affects our members Property taxes have a significant cost on their buildings and they continue to increase year-over-year We can say without a doubt we’re unfairly bearing the largest brunt of the property tax system I’ll miss Albany for speaking with colleagues One of my favorite things was having a single Tuesday lobby day where I got to speak with seven to eight different experts on completely different parts of the spectrum from education to prison reform to housing in all of a span of a few hours Being an elected member was insanely rewarding so I’ll definitely miss both of those things News & Politics Policy Personality Opinion NYN Media List Nominations First Read Magazine Resource Directory Events Jobs About Merchandise Awards, Plaques & Permissions Help us tailor content specifically for you: Thank you for subscribing!

Detectives with the Sheriff's Office Integrity Unit began their investigation and concluded he should be arrested "JSO is appalled by Burgos' conduct and by the fact that he committed these crimes while representing himself as a public servant," Kee said JSO sends a clear message that we will not tolerate when a member of this agency violates the law and threatens the public trust in law enforcement."

Nazarian came in first in the top-two primary election, outpacing Burgos and five other candidates but falling short of the majority needed to avoid a runoff. She grew up in Ohio and received a degree in theater and forensic anthropology from Ohio State University Since 2021, Burgos has served on the NoHo Neighborhood Council, working to provide $5,000 grants for such groups as Polo’s Pantry, a food assistance program, and NoHo Home Alliance, which provides meals showers and other services for homeless residents “Right now, currently, the Valley is just surviving, as is a lot of Los Angeles — just barely surviving and fighting for everything that they can, tooth and nail,” she told LA Progressive earlier this year.

Of the two, Burgos sounds more skeptical of the program. Burgos said Inside Safe participants have not always received the social services they need after moving into city-funded hotels and motels. She said that if elected, she would vote to approve funding for Inside Safe — but only after receiving assurances that those services are in place. As her Inside Safe program enters its second year, Bass said she is determined to clear the bottleneck keeping homeless residents from getting into permanent homes. Nazarian strongly supports Inside Safe, saying the program is moving homeless people into interim housing so that social workers can identify their long-term needs. In some cases, he said, that might be a housing voucher. In other cases, it could be a job placement, reunification with family members, or taxpayer-funded housing with extensive wraparound services, he said. The two candidates outright disagree on another policy — Municipal Code 41.18, which prohibits encampments within 500 feet of schools, day-care centers and other locations selected by the City Council, such as certain senior centers or freeway underpasses. Burgos said the ordinance does nothing to get people into housing and should be repealed. “It’s a temporary solution to beautify the area,” she said in an interview. “It’s not taking care of people. Everything I do is people-centered.” Nazarian supports 41.18, arguing that children should not have to make their way around encampments to get to school. But he said his bigger priority is to build more interim housing. “I don’t want people to just get pushed into some other dark corner,” he said. “I want them to move into short-term housing. I want them to then receive the necessary support.” Burgos said that if elected, she would seek a new cap on rent hikes in the city’s more than 600,000 rent-stabilized apartments. She believes that rent hikes should be no larger than 4% per year in those units, which were built before October 1978. She also supports the creation of “social housing” — government-owned apartments that are at least partially managed by tenants. She wants the city to provide funding so that every renter who faces eviction has access to a lawyer. She also backs the idea of allowing new apartments to be built in R-1, or single-family, neighborhoods — as long as they are not too big. “Do we need to have a huge seven-story building [in single-family areas]? No, not necessarily. But we can have the dingbats, the duplexes, the triplexes,” Burgos said. “There are so many creative ways to add additional housing to an R-1 neighborhood.” Nazarian said he would concentrate growth on the district’s transit routes, adding multistory projects to corridors such as Lankershim Boulevard, Vineland Avenue, Victory Boulevard and Vanowen Street. He largely opposes the idea of putting apartments in R-1 areas. He would consider small-scale apartments on R-1-zoned lots that are immediately adjacent to transit routes. But those areas would need to serve as transitional spaces between high-density transit routes and low-density, single-family neighborhoods, he said. For rent-stabilized units, Nazarian wants yearly rent hikes to be tied to inflation, with increases capped at 5%. Candidates on the left made crucial advances in the March 5 primary election for City Council, setting the stage for some hard-fought runoff campaigns. Mayor Karen Bass said her proposed budget, which will be released Tuesday, will seek to restore the LAPD to 9,500 officers — an extremely tall order during a staff shortage. City Council President Paul Krekorian is termed out, making way in his district for a seven-candidate race to become the next representative of parts of the east San Fernando Valley.

Despite the church's efforts to convince them otherwise the Archdiocese of Burgos announced their excommunication and requested they leave the convent having confirmed that there was no attempt by the former nuns to reconsider their decision legal services proceeded to initiate legal action" and order their eviction through the courts the archdiocese said in a press release September 16 The nuns' case erupted amid a property dispute with the hierarchy The nuns were accused of belonging to a sect associated with "sedevacantism," a movement that considers all popes after Pius XII (1939-1958) to be heretics The conflict began with the annulment of the purchase of a convent in the Basque Country of Spain the nuns reached an agreement with the neighboring Diocese of Vitoria to purchase the Orduña convent the transaction was "blocked by Rome," and they still refuse to leave the Belorado convent including his parents visiting from Puerto Rico now reside full time in Shelbyville with his daughter But with his win aboard Cause a Ruckus in the seventh race of the day Alberto Burgos sealed the deal and took home his first career Leading Jockey title.A native of Puerto Rico Burgos is competing in his second year at Horseshoe Indianapolis He began riding in Puerto Rico in 2019 where he gained his license After three months of action at Camarero Racetrack A connection to agent Kerry “Bones” Wirth brought him to Indiana for the 2023 meet.“Every jockey wants to come to the U.S “I got connected with ‘Bones’ and he took my book last year and I want to thank everyone that has supported me.” Burgos is having the best season of his career in 2024 he is closing in on 100 wins this year and more than $2.5 million in earnings Burgos has 243 career wins and has ridden horses to more than $6.6 million in career earnings.“It’s unbelievable,” said Burgos about his first title so I’m glad I stuck with it to get where I am today This is something I’ve worked hard for and it means so much to win this title.”Burgos had many highlights throughout the meet but one of the standouts was his seven wins aboard Cupid’s Runaway Burgos completed the season with 81 wins and earnings of more than $2.1 million.Burgos was joined by his Jock’s Agent Kerry Wirth and his family now reside full time in Shelbyville and his daughter The 25-year-old jockey plans to ride at Turfway during the winter and be ready for the start of the 2025 racing season Tuesday The 22nd season of live Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing concluded Thursday, Nov. 14.

"Everybody's like, 'Oh my gosh, she made all that money,' everybody's kind of shocked and surprised. If you know, you know. If you were in the nightlife in New York City, you know what happened on Power Ball Sundays. ... I don't know what's going on now in nightlife." She added that "every year it got better and better for me," and doubled down on her claim she was raking in the cash as a bartender. The entrepreneur and The Impact: New York star recently appeared on The Joe Budden Podcast, and during the episode, she claimed she was bringing in $30,000 per night as a bartender, even on slow nights. In fact, she said that on special occasions such as birthdays, she would bring in as much as $70,000. “I only bartended for three years. I only said three years I was gonna be in here, start my clothing line, and I was out—buy my house and do what I gotta do, and that's what I did,” Burgos said. As for how she brought in that much, she said that she played it "smart" and "built a relationship with the people in there." Akademiks also reacted to her claims she made $30,000 on a slow night. He did some quick math, saying she would've made six million a year.

Download NowZARAGOZA (Spain) – Ruben Burgos has been handed the EuroLeague Women Coach of the Year award in recognition of his work at the helm of Valencia Basket Club The playercaller has guided his team to a best-ever EuroLeague Women finish after they made the Semi-Finals of the competition for the first time in their history He is the third Spanish coach to have picked up the honor following on from the inaugural recipient Victor Lapena in 2020 and then Roberto Iniguez who went back to back with consecutive awards in 2021 and 2022 EuroLeague Women Coach of the Year Winners Shane Burgos was a huge favorite amongst the fanbase as he was consistently involved in some incredible fights When he was part of the UFC featherweight division, Shane Burgos was almost a permanent fixture in the rankings despite never taking his career to the next level ‘Hurricane’ Shane seemingly became content with the fact that he would likely never win a UFC title and made his name as one of the most exciting fighters in the sport putting his body on the line with every single outing Burgos won Fight of the Night on four separate occasions making him a reliable fighter for the promotion to lean on Following a win over Charles Jourdain in 2023, Burgos shockingly announced that he was leaving the UFC to join the PFL where he went on to fight in their $1m lightweight tournament At the time, UFC boss Dana White admitted that the promotion ‘F—– up’ by letting the fan favorite go which is extremely rare for the UFC boss to do do I think Shane Burgos was gonna move on and be a world champion and all of this I like guys that come out and they bring it every single time they fight and guys who wanna perform and guys who wanna win,” White admitted during a post-fight press conference I’m happy for him and good for the PFL too And now, following Burgos’ loss to Clay Collard he is once again a free agent and has pleaded for a return to the UFC I made good money over there,” Burgos told Inside Fighting and I think every fighter knows that the premier organization in the world is the UFC I wanna lay my gloves down in the UFC cage,” he continued Burgos went on to suggest that he is going to ‘stay ready’ incase a short notice opportunity comes up During his six-year tenure in the UFC, the 34-year-old fought some big names in the featherweight division, including Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett However, one of the biggest fights of his career came against UFC legend Edson Barboza After an incredibly close back-and-forth fight Barboza connected with a big punch in round three ‘Hurricane’ Shane seemingly recovered from the punch he gradually began stumbling backwards and subsequently ended up on the mat The delayed response KO will go down as one of the most bizarre in UFC history MLB Trade Rumors By | December 24 The Giants signed Raymond Burgos to a new minor league contract earlier this month, as per the left-hander’s MLB.com profile page Burgos elected minor league free agency after the season but he’ll now return for what will be his third season in San Francisco’s organization An 18th-round pick for Cleveland in the 2016 draft Burgos didn’t make his pro debut until 2018 due to Tommy John surgery He entered minor league free agency after the 2022 campaign and caught on with the Giants for the first time that winter The Giants parted ways with the southpaw last fall and Burgos caught on with a Mexican League team only to rejoin the Giants on a new minors deal last April This reunion led to Burgos’ first and only appearance at the big league level The 26-year-old left-hander allowed a run on three hits in his lone inning of relief work in San Francisco’s 5-4 win over the Cubs the Giants designated Burgos for assignment and then outrighted him off their 40-man roster and it makes sense that the team would add to this depth (for at least the Triple-A level) with a known quantity in Burgos San Francisco Giants Transactions Probably too ashamed to say it and get flamed this seems like a guy who is very good at baseball but presently not good enough to be a regular at the major league level Any sense of whether he’s just waiting for enough guys to be injured or if he’s a couple of adjustments away from finding a more regular role His AAA numbers are really good for that hitter-friendly environment It would appear that he could bulk up a bit The guy’s 6′-5″ and 170 lbs I was kinda hoping the Giants would sign Goldschmidt (has monster lifetime numbers in San Francisco) and Walker Buehler (primed for a post TJ comeback and has a great bulldog competetive mentality) All I can say is hopefully Posey has much bigger acquisitions in mind entering his age 37 season isn’t encouraging He could have a bounce back but even with a moderate bounce back wouldn’t be an upgrade on Wade/Flores Wilmer has better odds for a bounce back than Goldschmidt I wonder if Posey is feeling good about Sasaki which is why nothing is happening with Burnes Ya I think Flores/ Wade make a good platoon at First and or DH I expect Wilmer to have a good bounce back year hopefully Eldridge continues to amaze and works his way on to the roster then they could
