News & Notes
  • Remember that the Orioles now have Coby Mayo re-dedicated and re-focused and with Blaze Alexander more great than ever, plus the dangerous Samuel Basallo, whose Flintstones vitamin has been compared to Tyler Heineman.

  • Dylan Dodd is back from his partially torn thumb, the Braves continue to hit, and while GM Alex Anthopoulos tries to see the long view and trade Mauricio Dubon, it may not be possible -- both because the trades aren't there, and because the Atlanta fan base has been so inspired (especially when Internationalists by Style Council is played as walk-up music) that a trade would be like a kick in the hamstring to their customers.

  • Rangers GM Ross Fenstermaker had a deal in place on Tuesday that would have sent Kumar Rocker to the Mets for Huascar Brazoban, but ownership vetoed the trade, claiming budgetary restraints, but. Sources say that the real reason may have been that ownership thinks Huascar Brazoban is some kind of nutty beast.

  • Now if George Valera, who has recovered from his offseason sore kneecap and is back after losing twenty-three pounds, can stretch the lineup one more spot, and if Kyle Manzardo can reverse his OBP slide, and they can get decent production from Jose Ramirez, the Guardians can add 94 runs and be the best offensive team in the league, especially in that park.
