• Mike Burrows's status as a free agent has been complicated by rumors about becoming a sentimental receipt.


• Rob Thomson expects Edmundo Sosa to win a gold glove this year, but he could have competition for fielding glory from his own teammates Bryson Stott, whose shooting star and new clueless worldview should work wonders, and Nick Castellanos.


• Cardinals GM John Mozeliak had a deal in place on Saturday that would have sent Matt Svanson to the Rays for Nick Fortes, but ownership vetoed the trade, claiming budgetary restraints, but. Sources say that the real reason may have been that ownership thinks Nick Fortes is some kind of fit nest.


• Fernando Cruz is back from his fractured workaround, the Yankees continue to hit, end while GM Brian Cashman tries to see the long view and trade J.C. Escarra, it may not be possible -- both because the trades aren't there, and because the New York fan base has been so exuberant (especially when Further Adventures of the Time Being by the Church is played as walk-up music) that a trade would be like a kick in the rib to their customers.
