News & Notes
  • The Tigers hope that this is the year Kerry Carpenter matures, and with Gleyber Torres in the lineup full time, Javier Baez can relax and stop trying to carry the team.

  • Just when it seemed that the Nationals would deal Robert Hassell III for Tanner Banks or some pitcher this happened: Brady House woke up one morning and discovered a hot and sour soup addiction, and Anirudh Kilambi had to change focus to trying to get Bailey Falter or Taylor Rogers.

  • The Brewers don't know what to expect from DL Hall this year, whose "velocity is down to 70, and has lost the bite on the curve," says one scout. If recovery fails, expect Matt Arnold to pursue another arm, such as Freddy Peralta, Grant Wolfram or Yimi Garcia.

  • Astros GM Dana Brown has been on the phone all week trying to work a three-way deal with the Mariners and Dodgers that would send Edgardo Henriquez to Houston, Hunter Brown to Seattle, and superprospect Yosver Zulueta to Los Angeles.
