Defector Funbag Debunks Red Wine Myth, Mourns Tommy John, and Addresses Tony Romo’s CBS Future

Drew Magary’s latest Defector Funbag addresses reader questions on red wine health claims, the legacy of pitcher Tommy John, and the potential replacement of Tony Romo by J.J. Watt on CBS Sports. Magary clarifies that while resveratrol offers mild benefits, alcohol remains a toxin, and he notes that Romo’s lack of preparation may lead to his permanent removal from the booth. The column also touches on the terror of liminal spaces in 'Backrooms' and the practicalities of cochlear implants.

Baseball legend Tommy John dies at 83, leaving legacy of career-saving elbow surgery

Tommy John, the left-handed pitcher whose 1974 elbow surgery revolutionized baseball, has died at age 83. His agent confirmed he passed away peacefully in Florida. John’s career spanned 26 seasons, including stints with the White Sox, Dodgers, and Yankees, and he became a four-time All-Star. The procedure that saved his arm, pioneered by Dr. Frank Jobe, is now a standard treatment for pitchers and bears John's name.

Tommy John, the pitcher whose 1974 elbow surgery revolutionized baseball, dies at 83

Tommy John, the left-handed pitcher who underwent the first successful ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction in 1974, has died at age 83. The procedure, now known as 'Tommy John surgery,' has saved countless careers in baseball. John, who pitched for 26 seasons, won 288 games and finished with a 3.34 ERA, passing away at his home in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, after a battle with bladder cancer.

Tommy John bows out of public life, crediting the elbow surgery that saved countless arms

Tommy John, 83, the ex-Yankees pitcher whose 1974 elbow injury led Dr. Frank Jobe to pioneer the elbow replacement surgery that now bears his name, says goodbye to public life amid health issues including bladder cancer. In a note released through the Yankees rather than attending Old-Timers’ Day, John thanks the organization and fans, reflecting on a 26-year career and the operation that saved his arm and extended his pitching years. He notes that many modern stars—Verlander, Ohtani, Skubal and Sale—have since undergone the procedure, which has become baseball shorthand for Tommy John.

Reds Star Hunter Greene Set for Elbow Surgery, Out Look Shifts to 2027

Reds Star Hunter Greene Set for Elbow Surgery, Out Look Shifts to 2027

Reds right-hander Hunter Greene will undergo elbow surgery to address a UCL issue; whether it’s a full Tommy John reconstruction or an internal brace will be determined once surgeons inspect the damage. Expect a long rehab, with a return likely around 12-14 months, pushing potential return past the 2027 season. This marks Greene’s second UCL procedure (he had Tommy John in 2019). His 2026 season was limited to 27 2/3 innings with a 6.83 ERA, and his absence compounds Cincinnati’s rotation planning as they look to 2027 with Burns, Abbott and others, and may influence offseason moves.

Phillies’ Keller Hit Hard by UCL Tear, IL Stint Likely Ends Season

The Philadelphia Phillies placed pitcher Brad Keller on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow UCL tear (retroactive to July 13). Seth Johnson was recalled to take his roster spot. It’s unclear if Keller will require surgery; non-surgical rehab can still take months and likely ends his season, with potential implications for 2027 if Tommy John is needed. The Phillies may look to bolster the bullpen at the trade deadline.

Cole’s rehab ramps up as Yankees eye mid‑May return

Gerrit Cole said he’s feeling 'really strong' in his final spring start, throwing 26 pitches over 1⅓ innings (averaging 96.3 mph, up to 98) as he continues Tommy John rehab; the Yankees are targeting a mid‑May return on a 14–18 month timeline, with a light workload ahead before Tampa, the April 3 home opener, and a possible rehab assignment afterward.
