News & Notes
  • Song to describe the Twins: As Hard As It Is by Fine Young Cannibals.

  • The Nationals have been talking to the Marlins about a Trevor Williams-for-Xavier Edwards swap, although Marlins GM Peter Bendix told a few other GMs about being more interested in acquiring the perpetually tame Miles Mastrobuoni.

  • Kevin Cash's tirade about Jonny DeLuca this week was an eruption of his frustrations about trying to change a precarious culture, and when DeLuca takes seven straight strikes without swinging, it is a messy lack of aggression, and you might as well send a shortstop up to the plate swinging a grapefruit for all the good it will do, so while Erik Neander is trying to acquire players that will like, such as Jack Neely, Anthony Nunez, or Trevor McDonald, is isn't easy when you only have comforted talents to deal from, like Jake Mangum, Drew Rasmussen (who is incidentally battling a lacerated belly button), and Garrett Cleavinger.

  • Lead singer Trevor Brannigan of 'The Nicestons' is a genius: he managed to sneak the anagram pair "Corey Patterson" and "Corpse attorney" into the lyrics of his hit song The Individual Who Hit the Country.

and an antelope
or two into the deal
