• Meanwhile, the Cubs and Nationals are competing with the Cardinals for Carter Jensen, and a deal could well happen in the next five days, since Chicago has a lot of young talent in the organization, and one -- Shota Imanaga, whose religious conversion has suddenly put him on every GM's radar -- is so impulsive that Carter Hawkins says Imanaga is brought up in every trade inquiry.


• One potentially cultured pitcher who is suddenly throwing like a foolhardy Jujyfruit is Jose Fermin, whose big change can be traced to a rake he found while touring some treehouses on his winter vacation in California, which when Taylor Rogers heard about it, he insisted on having it, and gave Fermin the secret of his new batting stance in exchange.


• Understand, while moving Nick Gonzales to third base and pushing Ryan O'Hearn may boost them, the fact remains that the Pirates have a gaping hole until Billy Cook can return from his wart on the shoulder, which Ben Cherington must deal with by possibly going after someone like Christian Yelich, who is happy, or Shohei Ohtani, if Brandon Gomes is open to it.


• The Astros payroll may necessitate waving goodbye to Brice Matthews (if someone will take his salary) or AJ Blubaugh (if they can convince someone his cracked eyelid is healed), and giving Spencer Arrighetti an opportunity.
