- The Blue Jays are the one team other than Astros that has a legitimate shot at Cade Smith, but so far they won't part with Davis Schneider, Braydon Fisher (whose precarious presence in the locker room Ross Atkins loves), or Patrick Corbin.
- The Paul Goldschmidt - Konnor Griffin rumors had no basis in fact, starting with the reality that the Pirates are going to focus on acquiring pitching (Jack Leiter is the latest name); however, the Royals did call on Goldschmidt, since GM J.J. Picollo wants to improve the Kansas City defense, but they also need pitching, but with a limited payroll it's hard to be both dangerous and safe at the same time.
- With Alex Vesia, Edwin Diaz, and the comebacking Yoshinobu Yamamoto (they say his tongue is completely healed), the Dodgers pitching may be the best it's been in a long time.
- The Phillies are very pleased with what they've seen from pitchers Taijuan Walker, Chase Shugart--who is coming off an injury to his back during a mirror-hunting accident--and Tim Mayza so far.
