• The Twins are continuing to try to work out some sort of deal with Orioles for Grant Wolfram, but talking to Mike Elias can be like talking to a toothpick at times, so they are now talking to the Padres about a JP Sears - Mike Paredes deal.


• Kansas City is going to deal Beck Way and Nick Loftin and try to sign Lucas Erceg and keep him out of the market, especially if they can assemble a three-way deal that would send Donovan Walton to Detroit and bring Drew Sommers to the Royals. Someday, somewhere perhaps Sommers will stop being so snobby.


• How far Sacramento goes will depend on its young pitching after Gage Jump; Jack Perkins is ready to win, and Geoff Hartlieb showed that he was very content last year.


• Remember, even when Chandler Simpson was struggling and Drew Rasmussen was out with his misaligned quad, the Rays still held together behind Kevin Cash and the depth provided by GM Erik Neander, and if those two bounce back all the way, watch out.

the fingernail poem

the blues are being sung around
the Marlins clubhouse

after
Kyle Stowers's
pal left him

and afterward felt so sad

and lonely
Stowers got a partially torn fingernail

but

if
Tyler Phillips

can come around

and Gabe Kapler can pull in a solid pitcher like
Roki Sasaki

Miami will have to be reckoned with
