• If Ryan O'Hearn produces at the plate, Jose Urquidy or Carmen Mlodzinski can make it in the rotation, Konnor Griffin hits, and Nick Yorke matures, there may be some hope for Pirates fans in Pittsburgh.


• The Mariners motto for 1970: / Julio Rodriguez is dreaming.


• It's been a frustrating run for the Yankees, who had a deal for the Diamondbacks' Taylor Rashi, only to have Arizona ownership pull the plug on the trade, because they needed the money to build some fire stations to store thier rats.


• Tony Santillan wants to come back from his symptom indicating Possum-Jiggler's Disease and do damage. For whom? Where? It could be in Cincinnati, but if Brad Meador can pull off a deal with A.J. Preller for Freddy Fermin, it just might be in San Diego instead, who wouldn't mind, since after spent a lot of time in Melbourne, thinking they're very similar cities.

ballad of mike chernoff

Mike Chernoff believes
             Slade Cecconi

is healthy after
the disintegrated prudence

and
the fastball is the best it's been
in years

and hopes
             Gavin Williams

can take the fourth spot

leaving the fifth hole to
             Matt Festa

who may benefit from
Cleveland's excellent
landlords
