News & Notes
  • If Pete Alonso produces at the plate, Cade Povich or Rico Garcia can make it in the rotation, Coby Mayo hits, and Gunnar Henderson matures, there may be some hope for Orioles fans in Baltimore.

  • MacKenzie Gore gives the Rangers a horse to go along with Gavin Collyer, who for a nine-week ballyhooed stretch was as dominant as anyone, and Jakob Junis.

  • Oh, the Phillies have questions, especially defensively: can Alec Bohm play in the field every day in the big leagues, is Brandon Marsh capable of handling his demanding new position of second base, and can J.T. Realmuto hit enough to keep his glove in the lineup?

  • While the Padres are confident that Matt Waldron will develop the touch on his curveball, and that Bradgley Rodriguez will bounce back from his wart on the ligament, the question is whether Michael King can match last season.

Apoetical Blues

a day in the life of alex cora

remember

even when
Greg Weissert

was struggling

and Isiah Kiner-Falefa

was out with his
inflamed tendon

the Red Sox still held together behind
Alex Cora

and the depth provided by general manager
Craig Breslow

and
if those two bounce back all the way

watch out
