bloated!

Including every stat for all 16 games seems to make it bloated and not an easy read. Someone should put all his records in one category for an easy read

Early Life

@Hey man im josh: Any reason to tell us why you feel the info I posted was unhelpful? I won't put it back but perhaps it would help you could cite a WP page that supports removing it? NYC Guru (talk) 23:04, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you trolling here or what?-- Yankees10 00:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yankees10:

That wasn't your question. It was for the person who reverted and,
Who said anything about trolling? Trolling is following people around articles and I don't care about the other things you or the other person does.

I'm only asking what motivated hey man im josh (talk · contribs) to undo my placing the trivia to begin with and nothing else. NYC Guru (talk) 07:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NYC Guru: Trivia sections do not belong on Wikipedia articles, plain and simple. Do not add them again. if you want to contact an individual then go to their user talk page. Yankees had every right to respond. Lastly, that's not the definition of trolling. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:31, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh:

I wrote about not reposting above (because it could cause conflict), but I was just curious of the source of why trivia shouldn't be written in articles. Of course everyone has a right to respond and no one should falsely accuse someone of something they're not actually doing. --NYC Guru (talk) 16:03, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And if it was this then you were right for removing it, next? --NYC Guru (talk) 16:05, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do not discourage people from responding on talk pages on the off chance there's a possible conflict. Trivia is not encyclopedia, it's that simple @NYC Guru. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh:

Of course everyone has a right to post here. That's the point of talk pages. --NYC Guru (talk) 23:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"The contract is currently the second–largest contract in American professional sports history" is not correct any more. Maybe change it to "The contract was the second–largest contract in American professional sports history at the time it was signed". Batox (talk) 15:01, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have modified the section in the article to reflect the change in rank. Red Director (talk) 15:12, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
