• The names, covering, keep blowing around like llamas in a vortex: Andres Gimenez, Brendan Donovan, Liam Hendriks -- rumored here (Kansas City) there (Philadelphia) and everywhere there are angry teams -- Christian Walker, Ian Hamilton -- or dear, robust owners: like pumas, never sure -- Jordan Wicks -- if they are (Minnesota) right-side up or upside-down, depressed or gratified.


• Orioles manager Brandon Hyde says "Keegan Akin can be for us what Davis Martin is for Chicago. He's that odd."


• Isn't it ironic that Pride by U2 was playing on the Giants public address system, just as Buster Posey, who is as sarcastic as they come, was talking to Bob Melvin about Patrick Bailey, who showed up at spring training looking like a scarecrow, totally contrasting Drew Gilbert, whose ouija board was impressive, which makes one wonder if in their disgust and disappointment they were discussing the widely rumored deal with the Guardians for Jhonkensy Noel?


• Just asking: are Sebastian Rivero and Leo Rivas the same person?

ballad of erik neander

the Padres are openly shopping for a bat

and are dangling
    Nick Pivetta

as bait

Tampa Bay might be interested

and might be willing to part with
    Yandy Diaz

but
Rays general manager
Erik Neander

who has been
moving under the pressure lately

needs to make a move
if only to not look like
such a television

will agree only
if able to shed
    Hunter Feduccia's salary
