"There’s more in an article by Eno Sarris in The Athletic headlined “Ten early season MLB numbers that could be cause for alarm”: Pressly’s declining stuff — he’s lost velocity and ride on the four-seam, which has become more cutter-like, and his curve is his only remaining above-average pitch — will probably cost him the closer’s role sooner rather than later."

"Eno Sarris of FanGraphs collected quotes from a handful of major leaguers last June that paint an optimistic picture of MLB's readiness for its first openly gay player."
