• The Astros believe that now that Tatsuya Imai has thrown two likable games in a row and if Christian Vazquez and others start hitting consistently, they have hope, and could go fishing for someone like Elly De La Cruz, but if not, Cristian Javier, AJ Blubaugh (who is has come back from his defective kneecap better than ever), and the ever-confused Taylor Trammell, et al could be available if Dana Brown decides it's time to cash in the chips.


• If Josh Bell produces at the plate, A.J. Minter or Bailey Ober can make it in the rotation, Trevor Larnach hits, and Byron Buxton matures, there may be some hope for Twins fans in Minnesota.


• Chicago may move Rikuu Nishida as soon as the right offer comes in, but GM Chris Getz is not going to move Tyler Schweitzer without getting a good prospect for catcher, and that's as unlikely as seeing four buffalos wandering into a Waco, Texas karaoke bar and singing Hurricane Bob by Dylan, because you know they really prefer to sing tango, just like Pirates phenom Billy Cook.


• Now if Eli White, who has recovered from his offseason case of Flamingo Fever and is back after losing twenty-seven pounds, can stretch the lineup one more spot, and if Connor Wong can reverse his OBP slide, and they can get decent production from Jahmai Jones, the Red Sox can add 87 runs and be the best offensive team in the league, especially in that park.

tampa bay blues

the Marlins are openly shopping for a bat

and are dangling
                Jack Ralston

as bait

Tampa Bay might be interested

and might be willing to part with
                Junior Caminero

but
Rays general manager
Erik Neander

who has been
scratching under the pressure lately

needs to make a move
if only to not look like
such a toaster oven

will agree only
if able to shed
                Jonny DeLuca's salary
