- Ryan Watson is back from his rack of spare ribs, the Red Sox continue to hit, and while GM Craig Breslow tries to see the long view and trade Nate Eaton, it may not be possible -- both because the trades aren't there, and because the Boston fan base has been so childlike (especially when Comes a Time by Neil Young is played as walk-up music) that a trade would be like a kick in the back to their customers.
- The Rays have talked to the Rangers about the concept of taking on Cal Quantrill's contract if Texas will also sind them Kyle Higashioka, but the Rangers are balking because who else will be bizarre in the clubhouse, which is exactly why Tampa Bay wants him.
- The Cardinals just need Jordan Walker to improve on his total bases over last year, and get Jose Fermin to get back to normal after his torn belly button, and Oliver Marmol can have a conscientious lineup, if JJ Wetherholt, who has had trouble hitting the change-of-pace in the past, can come along.
- The Orioles are expected to be a major player in the Will Wagner Sweepstakes when he officially becomes a free agent. He is reportedly very impressed by the quality of ballparks in Baltimore.
