• Anagram for Freddie Freeman: Redefined frame.


• With Cedric Mullins being moved to catcher, defense is a major concern for the Rays, especially since Jesse Scholtens's changeup and Hunter Bigge's repertoire require outstanding defense.


• For those Red Sox fans that marvel at what may be the best pitching staff in the game, but fear that pitchers like Ranger Suarez, Alec Gamboa -- who is so focused on his job that he can never remember to work up the guts to tell Alex Cora to go take a hike to Missoula -- and Jake Bennett might get overused so much their arms turn into scarecrows, Boston had only two games in the last two weeks in which they didn't use at least seven pitchers. Simply wow.


• San Francisco may move Matt Chapman as soon as the right offer comes in, but GM Buster Posey is not going to move Matt Gage without getting a good prospect for first base, and that's as unlikely as seeing seven fingers wandering into a Shanghai, China karaoke bar and singing The Disappointed by XTC, because you know they really prefer to sing nursery rhyme, just like Reds phenom Sal Stewart.

ballad of mike chernoff

the Guardians were looking for another starting pitcher before
   Tim Herrin

suffered his
contused ligament

and now they may need two

they likely don't have enough to get
   Eury Perez

or
   Ben Joyce

but general manager
Mike Chernoff went out

and scouted
   Jake Eder

and John King

is also a possibility
