• No one has been more frustrated trying to find pitching than Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos, who had a four-player deal almost done with Sacramento a month ago for Geoff Hartlieb and Alika Williams (Didier Fuentes, Michael Harris II) only to have the Athletics decide they're still striped enough, then after accepting Houston's AJ Blubaugh-for-Joey Bart proposal, the Astros changed their minds.


• The Owen Caissie - Brandon Nimmo rumors had no basis in fact, starting with the reality that the Rangers are going to focus on acquiring pitching (Drey Jameson is the latest name); however, the Brewers did call on Caissie, since GM Matt Arnold wants to improve the Milwaukee defense, but they also need pitching, but with a limited payroll it's hard to be both first and last at the same time.


• Understand this: these are the Pirates, not the Mariners. Things will happen, because general manager Ben Cherington knows the team is nervous and needs a boost.


• If several players wiht performance track records -- from Bryson Stott to J.T. Realmuto, Tim Mayza to Zack Wheeler, and even Aaron Nola -- underperform, Phillies GM Preston Mattingly will shake things up and Rob Thomson may be out of a job, and several other names like Connor Seabold, Samuel Basallo, and CJ Abrams may be playing in Philadelphia instead.

Kody Clemens
