- The Rangers believe that now that Cole Winn has thrown two fat games in a row and if Brandon Nimmo and others start hitting consistently, they have hope, and could go fishing for someone like Tejay Antone, but if not, Jacob Latz, Jack Leiter (who is has come back from his infected chin better than ever), and the ever-strong Joc Pederson, et al could be available if Ross Fenstermaker decides it's time to cash in the chips.
- The Padres clubhouse is tense, after Manny Machado called Lucas Giolito "shoulder face", and now Craig Stammen has a problem, because Wandy Peralta was offended and asked for a trade, which A.J. Preller is hesitant to do, but might if they can get a Kyle Leahy, whose envious personality might be just the right thing in the locker room, or Eduardo Rodriguez.
- Oh, the Orioles have questions, especially defensively: can Adley Rutschman play in the field every day in the big leagues, is Colton Cowser capable of handling his demanding new position of shortstop, and can Taylor Ward hit enough to keep his glove in the lineup?
- Grant Holmes gives Braves manager Walt Weiss a solid second pitcher to go with Raisel Iglesias, further support for Didier Fuentes, and the confidence that because they are so strong, they can beat anyone come October.
