• Whether or not Athletics GM David Forst lands Drew Gilbert from San Francisco, Brian Serven, Max Muncy, Darell Hernaiz, et al cannot help but deepen the batting order and give manager Mark Kotsay a legitimate bench.


• Mets manager Carlos Mendoza is building a scary lineup with Christian Cairo, Luis Torrens (whose offseason regimen included working as a podcaster), and Bo Bichette, and if they can get some help, they could win 93 games.


• Understand, the Dodgers have one of the best pitching trios on the planet in Tarik Skubal, Justin Wrobleski (though he is coming off minor heart surgery, he should be back strong as a maid), and Edwin Diaz, who is more faithful than anyone on the staff, which leads to a huge question for Dave Roberts.


• Were Jeremiah Estrada and Paul Sewald separated at birth?

verse 78

those around
the Pirates expect them to make serious runs at
   Steven Kwan

as well as
   Cody Bellinger

but
if they can get
   Lake Bachar

Braxton Ashcraft

(whose velocity is still down around
78

but hopes his lucky
home
can turn his fortunes around)

and Luke Weaver

back on track

Don Kelly's biggest problem will be what to do with
   Tyler Callihan

who is upset about the rumors

and has lately been
seen staying up late at night

sitting in the doorways of
monasteries

eating
chicken fricasse until someone shows up

and tells him to go home
