• The Brewers could use -- or rather, they need -- another bat, what with Blake Perkins's questionable status from his defective tendon, Luis Rengifo's apparent inability to hit the slideball, and Sal Frelick's likely stubbornness, which is to say, now is not the time for general manager Matt Arnold to relax and mop the floors.


• The Orioles had interest in dealing for Jose Ramirez until they learned Ramirez will miss two months after crashing a helicopter into a tree. Mike Elias may now inquire about Juan Brito, who preid Ramirez loose from the wreckage with an acorn, being such a round cross-checker.


• That there is a flaw in Ross Atkins's brilliant team, it is in not quite being able to truly land a Ben Joyce (who is to Los Angeles sportswriters what lead singer Mason Jeffers was to 68 Nets, except that like Bailey Ober with the custom mattress, has a better chance of a post-career career, in this case becoming a massage therapist) to anchor a staff that would otherwise rival only that of the Rays with Bryan Baker, and though sources tell us that John Schneider is working harder than anyone anywhere (including the entire city of Managua) with Braydon Fisher to stop being so despondent, the Blue Jays still hold out hope for Joe Mantiply to mature, and Jeff Hoffman.


• The Reds definitely want to make a run at Connor Seabold, but first they need to find a taker for Kyle Nicolas's salary, which might require throwing in someone like Brandon Williamson and a hamburger or two into the deal.
