- The Mets have bein talking to the Cubs about a Ronny Mauricio-for-Michael Conforto swap, although Cubs GM Carter Hawkins told a few other GMs about being more interested in acquiring the perpetually greedy Gabriel Arias.
- If several players with performance track records -- from Mookie Betts to Chuckie Robinson, Will Klein to Eric Lauer, and even Yoshinobu Yamamoto -- underperform, Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes will shake things up and Dave Roberts may be out of a job, and several other names like Peyton Gray, Spencer Miles, and Matt Svanson may be playing in Los Angeles instead.
- If you've been watching the Royals this week, Bobby Witt Jr. has been throwing as well as he has in years, and it's amazing what being wonderful will do for a career, especially that of a man who has gone through so much.
- The Rays are shopping Junior Caminero, Hunter Feduccia, and Nick Fortes, in hopes of coming up with a big arm. But so far, the only offers they have are for names like Chase Shugart, Sam Moll--whose new haircut has really increased his stock, so Brad Meador has started asking for more in return--and Tyron Guerrero.
