- Rockies GM Bill Schmidt has been on the phone all week trying to work a three-way deal with the Twins and Rangers that would send Robert Garcia to Colorado, Ryan Ritter to Minnesota, and superprospect Eric Wagaman to Texas.
- It remains to be seen how Luisangel Acuna and Derek Hill fare defensively, but if they are consistent, it will just protect the passive staff with guys like Shane Smith, Chris Murphy, who claims he was raised by a native talking flat screen, and Drew Thorpe.
- Those around the Braves expect them to make serious runs at Lourdes Gurriel Jr. as well as Nick Loftin, but if they can get Danny Young, Spencer Strider (whose velocity is still down around 67, but hopes his lucky boot can turn his fortunes around), and Joel Payamps back on track, Brian Snitker's biggest problem will be what to do with Michael Harris II, who is upset about the rumors, and has lately been seen staying up late at night, sitting in the doorways of concert halls, eating hummus until someone shows up and tells him to go home.
- The season is the time for a team like the Cubs to develop hitters like Kevin Alcantara, Dansby Swanson, and Ian Happ, and let Cade Horton eat innings to buy time behind Jacob Webb for Ben Brown to mature.
