Jeter relocated the "Homer" sculpture from inside LoanDepot Park to an outdoor plaza in 2018 to clear the center-field area for a new fan standing-room deck. That ownership group also removed the aquarium.

Bullpen will be an adventure tonight.

Might need a couple extra run cushion for the guaranteed Svanson appearance.

I think he's a good pitcher, but needs some time at AAA or IL to figure something out.

I hope Bloom finds a waiver wire diamond in the rough soon. This bullpen seems ready to implode.
