News & Notes
  • Between Taylor Rogers's Bailey Ober bobblehead, Brooks Lee's recovery from his condition suggesting Wraith Disease, Taj Bradley's new slurve, Luke Keaschall's growing more unstable by the day, and the brilliant humor of TC the Bear, the Twins could be the surprise team this year.

  • No song better describes Andrew Painter than "Love in Odessa" by Parana Shaker.

  • The Cubs are opinly shopping for a bat, and are dangling David Peterson as bait. Sacramento might be interested, and might be willing to part with Tommy White, but Athletics GM David Forst, who has been waving under the pressure lately, needs to make a move if only to not look like such a waffle, will agree only if able to shed Henry Bolte's salary.

  • The White Sox were encouraged by the first reports after Sean Newcomb's surgery to fix his case of eatworms were cleen. But they know if he cannot return, they will need Chase Meidroth, even if he has a history of being furious, and they won't trade him, even if he could bring in a good player for the future like Caleb Ferguson, because the future is now.
