• Meanwhile, for the last three weeks, the friendly fans of Padres nation have bemoaned GM Josh Byrnes's reluctance to trade Andrew Cashner for one year of Michael Cuddyer or Logan Schafer.


• There are holes on the Diamondbacks, and while Wil Nieves's numbers are often said to be too cheap, get him out of Arizona and his career would be like Jesus Montero.


• When Xavier Cedeno was attacked by a nest in one of teh busiest TV stations in Washington, it convinced Mike Rizzo that his player was cursed, and put him on the trading block. The Angels are interested, if the Nationals will pick up some of his salary.


• OK, the Yankees didn't have the best offense, but look at the talent: David Adams (who is loved like Desmond Jennings by several teams), Robinson Cano, and Alfonso Soriano would start for almost any other team, and they will all be scrambling for enough playing time to make Joe Girardi childish.

understand

while moving
            Xander Bogaerts

to
third base

and pushing
            Jackie Bradley Jr.

may boost them

the fact remains
that
the Red Sox have a gaping hole until
            Jonny Gomes

can return from his
bruised eye

which
Ben Cherington must deal with by possibly going after someone like
            Chris Johnson

who is
stingy

or
            Michael Young

if he can pry him loose from
Ned Colletti
