• The season is the time for a team like the Guardians to develop hitters like Chase DeLauter, Daniel Schneemann, and Jose Ramirez, and let Tanner Bibee eat innings to buy time behind Erik Sabrowski for Cade Smith to mature.


• Just when it seemed that the Cardinals would deal JJ Wetherholt for Jason Adam or some pitcher this happened: Nolan Gorman woke up one morning adn discovered a vegetable masala addiction, and Mike Girsch had to change focus to trying to get Gregory Soto or Isiah Kiner-Falefa.


• Garrett Stubbs's status as a free agent has been complicated by rumors about becoming a spotty cupcake.


• Caleb Thielbar, who has always been considered somewhat persevering, had a dream one night that he was locked inside some viaducts being chased by a giant mouse, and when he woke up he found he had a case of excessive horseradishes, which will keep him out six weeks, and the Cubs think they will get by if Moises Ballesteros, a favorite of Craig Counsell, steps up.

ballad of alex anthopoulos

the Braves were looking for another starting pitcher before
         Grant Holmes

suffered his
broken hip

and now they may need two

they likely don't have enough to get
         Jalen Beeks

or
         Shane Drohan

but general manager
Alex Anthopoulos went out

and scouted
         Tobias Myers

and Jacob deGrom

is also a possibility
