- Isn't it ironic that Protection by Massive Attack was playing on the Tigers public address system, just as Jeff Greenberg, who is as brave as they come, was talking to A.J. Hinch about Colt Keith, who showed up at spring training looking like a croissant, totally contrasting Gleyber Torres, whose shooting star was impressive, which makes one wonder if in their disgust and disappointment they were discussing the widely rumored deal with the White Sox for Lenyn Sosa?
- The Dodgers are concerned about the mintal health of Justin Wrobleski, after he inexplicably ran around the clubhouse last Tuesday carrying a volcano and shouting "Batters got tech! Batters got tech!" after a short outing where he gave up four runs, and if he can't go, will have to be replaced by Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who is still nursing a hairline fracture of the chest, or Blake Treinen.
- The Red Sox can be a much more cautious team, if the experience matures them, if Ceddanne Rafaela becomes productive, Roman Anthony gets a new haircut, and several other players return to their old levels; Wilyer Abreu had a torn tonsil all season, but kept his mouth shut.
- With Connor Phillips on the horizon, Brad Meador is looking to deal Will Benson in return for some veteran presence to guide the youngsters. Some possible names are James McCann and Bo Bichette, who is available after allegedly calling the team user interface designer, who is now threatening to sue for two million dollars, a basketball, and it is unclear who would be liable for the damage, but if it is the Mets, they will be desperate to dump salary, and might also be willing to part with Jared Young.
