MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: If Yankees pitchers followed the advice of Pinstripe Alley, Jordan Montgomery wouldn’t be in this predicament. When he first left a start in early May, the Yankees hoped Montgomery avoided any structural damage, but clearly that’s not the case. Yesterday, news broke that Montgomery is going to have Tommy John surgery tomorrow. He shoulda got Tommy John surgery. #SGTJS
New York Daily News | Christian Red: ESPN fought the law and the law won. The law, in this scenario, is the Yankees of course. After they tried moving the Yankees game on July 8th against the Blue Jays from 1pm to 8pm, a day before they agreed to a doubleheader against the Orioles, the Yankees reached out to MLB and the MLBPA to get them to reverse that decision. The Yankees threatened to boycott ESPN, but fortunately ESPN caved and agreed to un-flex that game. The Angels and Dodgers will now getting that Sunday Night spot.
New York Daily News | Mike Mazzeo: First-round pick Anthony Seigler said he’s going to cut his hair because he doesn’t want it to become a thing like it did with Clint Frazier. Mind you, it became a thing for no reason at all and because the Yankees having that policy allows it to become a thing. Mainly, though, because the organization’s policy is dumb. In better Seigler news, he confirmed his intention to sign with the Yankees:
“There’s no doubt in my mind I’m definitely going to sign with the #Yankees. This is a no-brainer for me.” - first round pick Anthony Seigler

Looks like negotiations with Seigler should go smoothly. Back to the hair thing really quickly though:
Those of you who know me know that I hate the Yankees grooming policy. It’s very outdated and dumb. Hair does not dictate the character of a person and a person’s employer should have no say in an employees hair unless it has something to do with their job. It doesn’t make them more “professional.” They’re also baseball players. We live in a world where people who work in offices can have tattoos and facial hair, but dudes hitting a ball with a stick can’t.
congrats on being drafted by the @yankees anthony seigler! I know a good barber! pic.twitter.com/F2TJ6UF2IW
