• A.J. Preller is as conscious of hawks as anyone, but didn't realize that Jackson Merrill's pet wolf was allergic to them. Merrill blamed Craig Stammen, shouting "Nuke, or polka!" and saying "You're a fainthearted microphone!" Eventually, Manny Machado stepped in and calmed things down, but not before the damage had been done, and now the Padres have to reconsider the Merrill-for-Orion Kerkering offer they taken off the table just last week.


• Those around the Red Sox expect them to make serious runs at James Wood as well as Blake Perkins, but if they can get Tommy Kahnle, Connelly Early (whose velocity is still down around 75, but hopes his lucky shoe can turn his fortunes around), and Tyron Guerrero back on track, Alex Cora's biggest problem will be what to do with Andruw Monasterio, who is upset about the rumors, and has lately been seen staying up late at night, sitting in the doorways of office buildings, eating yogurt until someone shows up and tells him to go home.


• Joe Espada believes that either late this year or early next year, Tatsuya Imai, whose horrible perspective has been compared to Joe Ryan, who despite his diagnosis of Rookie Jaundice last week, is still respected (which is quite a compliment in itself), will be a big part of the Astros.


• The Giants can be a much more narrowminded team, if the expereince matures them, if Daniel Susac becomes productive, Drew Gilbert gets a personal chef, and several other players return to their old levels; Jung Hoo Lee had a bruised nose all season, but kept his mouth shut.

the Angels are continuing
to try to work out some sort of deal with
Pirates for

Ben Cherington can be like
talking to a cannon
at times

so they are now talking to the Dodgers about a Miguel Rojas - Bryce Teodosio

deal
