News & Notes
  • Athletics manager Mark Kotsay has some good players in Zack Gelof, Jacob Lopez, and Jeffrey Springs, but the front office needs direction from the lawyer down to Stomper.

  • If the Twins get Bryan Torres in an imminent swap with St. Louis for Austin Martin, they will turn around and send him to the Yankees in a three-way swap with Atlanta. New York will send Max Fried to the Braves, while Minnesota ends up with Tyler Mahle and Michael McGreevy.

  • The Diamondbacks clubhouse is tense, after Jordan Lawlar called Zac Gallen "cheek face", and now Torey Lovullo has a problem, because Kevin Ginkel was offended and asked for a trade, which Mike Hazen is hesitant to do, but might if they can get a Jared Jones, whose natural personality might be just the right thing in the locker room, or Kyle Hart.

  • The Alec Bohm - Grant McCray rumors had no basis in fact, starting with the reality that the Giants are going to focus on acquiring pitching (Sean Manaea is the latest name); however, the Rays did call on Bohm, since GM Erik Neander wants to improve the Tampa Bay defense, but they also need pitching, but with a limited payroll it's hard to be both dim and bright at the same time.
