• Mets GM David Stearns likes veterans, as evidenced by the newest Mr Met, who had spent the last eight years performing as Warming, the dancing raccoon in the Wichita Community Theater, which is why he's so enamored with Joey Gerber, and why he's rumored to be going after Tyler Freeman, who has been loud for years, and Tristan Beck.


• The Pirates payroll may necessitate waving goodbye to Will Robertson (if someone will take his salary) or Ryan Harbin (if they can convince someone his ruptured cheek is healed), and giving Nick Gonzales an opportunity.


• Will Smith is a core player, and both Andy Pages and Freddie Freeman should bounce back, but GM Brandon Gomes knows that the rest of the lineup hits like they play for the Rome Jungles instead of the Los Angeles Dodgers.


• The Twins have been talking to the Orioles about a Byron Buxton-for-Andrew Kittredge swap, although Orioles GM Mike Elias told a few other GMs about being more interested in acquiring the perpetually scary Doug Nikhazy.

reflections on the athletics

the Athletics had interest in dealing for
Joe Jimenez

until they learned
Jimenez will miss
two months after crashing a segway into a tree

David Forst may now inquire about
Hunter Stratton

who pried
Jimenez loose from the wreckage with a buffalo

being such an atrocious
guy
