Get Excited for Max Fried

Posted by Jeremy Fine

Follow me on

In yesterday’s Major League baseball draft with the 7th pick the San Diego Padres selected Max Fried out of Harvard-Westlake High School in Studio City, California. A highly touted 6’4 pitcher, who will undoubtedly spend time in the minors but has major league ability. 

We will no doubt keep an eye on his progress but he has serious potential to be the next great Jewish athlete. To read more on the Padres draft click HERE. The LA Times ran a story about Fried’s admiration for Sandy Koufax two years back. Click HERE to read more.Good luck kid, we will be watching.

And Let Us Say…Amen.

Youkilis on the Block

Posted by Jeremy Fine

With the Red Sox in last place of the AL East they are looking to make some changes. They might start with Kevin Youkilis. The Youk is a fan favorite (of TGR and Red Sox Nation). Click HERE to read more. HERE is more from the rumor mill.

Where might Youk land you ask? The White Sox, Rangers, and Dodgers have all come out to scout him. A move to the White Sox would fill their gap at 3B and add another veteran bat to their already hot lineup. Its obviously the TGR choice.

We will keep you posted on this situation.

Shabbat Shalom.

TGR Update

Posted by Jeremy Fine

First, we would like to wish TGR WISE Intern Elan Kane a Yasher Koach on his presentation yesterday. Elan has done a great job writing and reporting for us and he has a bright future in whatever he decides to do. He is always welcome to write for TGR.

Second, TGR is MOVING!!! Well, the blog will still be here but I will be moving from NYC to the great state of Minnesota to be the new Assistant Rabbi at Temple of Aaron in St. Paul MN. In honor of the move we will have a few Minnesota Jewish sports stories.

Third, we would like to announce our new relationship with TCJewFolk.com which is a hip Jewish young professional blog based in Minnesota. Similar to OyChicago.com, TCJewFolk tries to understand and engage the young Jewish world. They have already ran a story about me (Click HERE) and soon will be carrying stories from TGR. They will also be launching another feature called Pop Parsha where I discuss various movies through a Jewish perspective.

Finally, the blog itself has been going through some maintenance and will continue over the next few months. We hope this makes the blog easier to navigate and has more accurate/interesting information.

And Let Us Say…Amen.
