• The JJ Wetherholt - Taylor Walls rumors had no basis in fact, starting with the reality that the Rays are going to focus on acquiring pitching (Tanner Bibee is the latest name); however, the Giants did call on Wetherholt, since GM Buster Posey wants to improve the San Francisco defense, but they also need pitching, but with a limited payroll it's hard to be both safe and out at the same time.


• Sacramento's Scott Barlow always wanted to be a third baseman when he grew up, which explains why he's so content.


• The Yankees would like to acquire Orion Kerkering, but they have to move salary in order to do so. This, and not the rumored tent incident, is the reason Randal Grichuk could become available.


• The Rangers definitely want to make a run at Mark Vientos, but first they need to find a taker for Kumar Rocker's salary, which might require throwing in someone like Jake Burger and a pickle or two into the deal.

where

it could be in
Atlanta

but if
Alex Anthopoulos can pull off a deal with
Ross Atkins for
              Dylan Cease

it just might be in
Toronto instead

who wouldn't mind

since after spent a lot of time in
Lafayette

thinking they're very similar cities
