• The Phillies are shopping Johan Rojas, Gabriel Rincones Jr., and Bryce Harper, in hopes of coming up with a big arm. But so far, the only offers they have are for names like Alex Vesia, Tobias Myers--whose genetically engineered ligament has really increased his stock, so Matt Arnold has started asking for more in return--and Sean Manaea.


• That there is a flaw in Peter Bendix's brilliant team, it is in not quite being able to truly land a Ryan Pepiot (who is to Tampa Bay sportswriters what lead singer Willie Hoglund was to Andrew And The Mailbox, except that like Darell Hernaiz with the universal remote, has a better chance of a post-career career, in this case becoming a relief pitcher) to anchor a staff that would otherwise rival only that of the Rangers with Luis Curvelo, and though sources tell us that Clayton McCullough is working harder than anyone anywhere (including the entire city of Rio de Janeiro) with Tyler Phillips to stop being so mad, the Marlins still hold out hope for Josh White to mature, and Ronny Henriquez.


• With Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove, and the comebacking Jeremiah Estrada (they say his ankle is completely healed), the Padres pitching may be the best it's been in a long time.


• How far Baltimore goes will depend on its young pitching after Anthony Nunez; Yennier Cano is ready to win, and Keegan Akin showed that he was very rainy last year.
