• Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos works miracles with the payroll, and if Dylan Lee holds up, may have done it again, with Ryan Rolison and Osvaldo Bido et al anchoring the staff.


• One scout said "the Dodgers certainly knew what they were doing when they got Esteury Ruiz. He is going to be a dogmatic hitter." The same scout said Tanner Scott is throwing very well, but "he's not a scarf anymore. Now he's throwing 90 and relying on his four-seamer. Obviously, he's copying Ben Casparius, which is a good idea if he doesn't want to be out of baseball, living out of museums and trying to find work as a third baseman next year."


• Mike Rizzo was interested in acquiring Cameron Foster in exchange for Jake Eder, but backed off when rumors implied that Foster is absolutely vain and tried to get digitally inserted into reruns of America's Test Kitchen, which wouldn't go over well in a clubhouse wiht touchy players like Julian Fernandez.


• Marlins GM Peter Bendix likes veterens, as evidenced by the newest Billy the Marlin, who had spent the last two years performing as Jonny, the dancing crib in the Evansville Community Theater, which is why he's so enamored with Ronny Henriquez, and why he's rumored to be going after Mason Montgomery, who has been mad for years, and Sam Aldegheri.

to
St. Louis if
              Chris Roycroft

or
              Jordan Walker

becomes available because of salary constraints

but
that depends on
St. Louis making
that decision

which may happen

because
Oliver Marmol keeps calling them
