A former Wall Street executive with Crown Growth Partners, Geoff Block leverages his prior experience to manage day-to-day operations of the holding company RLB Squared. When not working, Geoff Block enjoys following his favorite Major League Baseball team, the New York Yankees.
In an effort to bolster their starting rotation, the Yankees re-signed veteran left-handed pitcher J. A. Happ to a reported two-year, $34 million contract with a $17-million vesting option for a third season in 2021. The 36-year-old was acquired by New York from the Toronto Blue Jays this past July, after which he posted a win-loss record of 7-0 to go along with a 2.69 earned run average. He proved particularly effective against the rival Boston Red Sox, as he registered a 1.99 ERA against the team during four starts last season.
