Happy Birthday, Sandy Koufax

He is 88 years old.

Join us in wishing Sandy Koufax a happy 88th birthday!

Koufax debuted for his hometown @Dodgers at age 19, but he didn't reach peak dominance until they'd moved to Los Angeles. From 1961-66, the lefty arguably posted the greatest six-season stretch of pitching ever seen. pic.twitter.com/EfmoqARTl0

Gio Urshela in Toronto?

There would be interest.

Lucas Giolito, not the pitcher Boston needs?

He gives a lot of long balls.

Hyun-Jin Ryu, an option for the Mets?

Why not?

Which managers are at the end of their contract?

This may affect the next year in the MLB.
