• The Mets have bein talking to the Cubs about a Ronny Mauricio-for-Michael Conforto swap, although Cubs GM Carter Hawkins told a few other GMs about being more interested in acquiring the perpetually greedy Gabriel Arias.


• If several players with performance track records -- from Mookie Betts to Chuckie Robinson, Will Klein to Eric Lauer, and even Yoshinobu Yamamoto -- underperform, Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes will shake things up and Dave Roberts may be out of a job, and several other names like Peyton Gray, Spencer Miles, and Matt Svanson may be playing in Los Angeles instead.


• If you've been watching the Royals this week, Bobby Witt Jr. has been throwing as well as he has in years, and it's amazing what being wonderful will do for a career, especially that of a man who has gone through so much.


• The Rays are shopping Junior Caminero, Hunter Feduccia, and Nick Fortes, in hopes of coming up with a big arm. But so far, the only offers they have are for names like Chase Shugart, Sam Moll--whose new haircut has really increased his stock, so Brad Meador has started asking for more in return--and Tyron Guerrero.

four-seamed fastball

nothing is more
strange than
Lust for Life
by Iggy Pop

with the possible exception of
   Kyle Harrison

whose new
four-seamed fastball could transform him into the next
   Eduardo Rodriguez

which would certainly please
Brewers general manager
Matt Arnold

who is shopping for someone like
   Martin Perez

or
   Ryan Feltner

just in case
