Don’t have the subscription to read the full article, but curious who the “vets” are from the intro. How many players on the team would qualify?
Brissett
Stevenson?
Henry
Hooper
DAndrews
Onwenu?
Bourne
Godchaux
Wise
Bentley
Tavai
Jennings?
Dugger?
Peppers
The ones with “?” I feel might be a stretch for Girardi to classify as “vet”. Did I miss anyone else though? Feels like everyone else on the roster he would call “young player” or not consider them significant enough to even ask their opinion.
Brissett publicly said some bad things about the team so not sure now all of a sudden he’d go anonymous and since he’s AVP’a guy not sure he’d be so pointed at the coaches. Henry/Hooper/DAndrews/Bentley/Bourne don’t seem like the type to say this anonymously like this even if they felt it. Wise and Tavai haven been publically supportive of Mayo to the point I doubt it’s them. Stevenson and Dugger don’t seem like the type either, again even if they felt it.
My guess is Onwenu said the first part about it being different everyday (which makes sense with the position group he’s in and all the changes there). The last line about just playing for each other sounds like something Godchaux or maybe Peppers would say, doing it anonymously because it seems like they do LIKE mayo.
