Yes! Thank you!

Don’t forget Jose Vizcaino. He didn’t play in the outfield but every position on the infield, while Orlandos Merced (01-03) and Palmeiro (04-07) were patrolling the outfield and covering all the outfield positions.

The Diamondbacks fired Brent Strom.

Wow. I suppose Strommie really will retire to his Arizona ranch now.

Mind boggling.

That looks like a purely results-based move unless there’s more behind the scenes. Zona had the 2nd worst BAA and 4th worst ERA and WHIP.

Nobody stops to wonder if maybe they overperformed last year. No, that’s clearly the baseline, and this yesr was underperformance, not regression.

Cabbage heading overseas. If he goes to Korea will they call him Trey Kimchi?

Gotta pickle him up real good and lather him head to toe in a spicy mix of fermented chili paste and powder first.

Machete to San Diego on a minor league contract.

D-Backs signed Kendall Graveman then DFA’d Serh Martinez to make room for him on the roster.

And Yuli will reportedly be joining him.

Bregman and Toro having solid Springs with Boston. Each with 8 RBIs so far. Sox scored 20 runs on Friday.

Urquidy signed with Detroit. 1-year major league deal. Glad for him that he got an MLB deal, didn’t sound like that was going to be an option for him with Houston.

Thanks for the WS wins, Jose.

There’s a 4M team option for 2026, too.

Definitely makes sense, he probably won’t pitch at all this year
