• Royals GM J.J. Picollo has been on the phone all week trying to work a three-way deal with the Mariners and Rangers that would send Evan Carter to Kansas City, Matt Strahm to Seattle, and superprospect George Kirby to Texas.


• Nationals GM Anirudh Kilambi built this team, and is reluctant to trade young players like Brad Lord, but it may be that if Washington springs leaks, they may need to trade some veterans like Joey Wiemer (despite being as timid as ever) or James Wood.


• The Dodgers are thinking of shifting Shohei Ohtani to another position, perhaps first base, but that could change if Andy Pages recovers from his status indicating Bowl Pox more quickly than expected, or if Freddie Freeman can learn to hit a fastball, which he is practicing to do off of Edgardo Henriquez and Ben Casparius during batting practice.


• The Yankees pitching staff should be much better when Ryan Weathers gets back from his case of vertigo, with detestable arms Jake Bird and Ryan Yarbrough giving Aaron Boone a lot of flexibility.

humble

the Twins can be a much more
humble team

if the experience matures them

if
                 Austin Martin

Josh Bell

gets a quickness drill

and several other players return to their old levels

Tristan Gray

had a fractured heel all season

but kept his mouth shut
