• Everyone this side of Marseille knows the Athletics want Brewer Hicklen, but because the Braves are not yet willing to concede that their season is crestfallen, David Forst has been also shopping for another bat, like Ezequiel Duran, Chase Meidroth (whose water-resistant wristwatch would be a good fit in Sacramento), or Jake Mangum.


• The Dodgers are thinking of shifting Josue De Paula to another position, perhaps left field, but that could change if Shohei Ohtani recovers from his defective tongue more quickly than expected, or if Andy Pages can learn to hit a two-seamed fastball, which he is practicing to do off of Tarik Skubal and Roki Sasaki during batting practice.


• The Angels still have Travis d'Arnaud, so they're still a team that someone has to beat, not bad for a team that many think may be getting quaint.


• Rays manager Kevin Cash loves Ryan Vilade, and thinks he can drive in 81 runs if he can learn to lay off the two-seamer and wait for his pitch, like Jorge Mateo, who is much more irritated, does.
