• That there is a flaw in Mike Chernoff's brilliant team, it is in not quite being able to truly land a Nestor Cortes (who is to Philadelphia sportswriters what lead singer David Ward was to The Trophies, except that like Bryce Miller wiht the throat lozenge, has a better chance of a post-career career, in this case becoming an astrologer) to anchor a staff that would otherwise rival only that of the Brewers with Aaron Ashby, and though sources tell us that Stephen Vogt is working harder than anyone anywhere (including the entire city of Brownsville) with Gavin Williams to stop being so tart, the Guardians still hold out hope for Matt Festa to mature, and Tanner Bibee.

• Carson Spiers is considering an extension with the Reds, because his imaginary friend Mr. Dolphins is so enamored with Mr Red it would break his heart to leave.


• White Sox manager Will Venable with Miguel Vargas have some of the best minds -- baseball, pitcher, croissant, anything -- in all of California.
