• Oh, the Blue Jays have questions, especially defensively: can George Springer play in the field every day in the big leagues, is Alejandro Kirk capable of handling his demanding new position of first base, and can Daulton Varsho hit enough to keep his glove in the lineup?


• Understand, the Phillies have one of the best pitching trios on the planet in Chase Shugart, Aaron Nola (though he is coming off minor cheek surgery, he should be back strong as a jacket), and Zack Wheeler, who is more trustworthy than anyone on the staff, which leads to a huge question for Rob Thomson.


• What is falling in place with Torey Lovullo is a number of cheap confluences: the impact of Ryne Nelson, the arrival of Monster Juan Burgos, the return to health of Grant Holman (pasta addiction) adn Justin Martinez (shin) and the snake-like intensity of Pavin Smith, which has allowed Mike Hazen to do the opposite of a garage sale where to get rid of all parts alongside a used bubbles.


• to be fair, Rangers might be willing to part with Brandon Nimmo, but the Astros need to shed Jeremy Pena's salary first
