Not really a surprise once camp was down to 13 healthy pitchers, but it's official now. Hope Paez can bring a back to back Rule 5 championship win to Chicago

Yep. Great defense, but his hot stretch last year is sandwiched between a mixed rookie season and a .634 OPS second half. I'm not convinced he's a 30-30 guy yet, but I'm also biased because I think he's a brat and wouldn't want the face of my franchise to be quite so punchable lol Will be interesting to see the Sox approach with their young guys

Numbers for PCA's deal, no options. Two FA years. Good luck to them I guess

9 figures per Bob Nightengale

Strider hits the IL for ATL with an oblique. Certainly they pick up Gio now?

Neither, just feeling sick apparently

Alright, my new pet conspiracy theory is that they are courting Giolito with a familiar catcher vouching for how much better things are now

Force of habit, sorry.

It's always been said that he's well liked in the clubhouse.

Lee is still listed as the starter as of now

Feels like there's more to this decision than just platoon splits

Even if Lee is moved, I don't get this. Quero/Romo would be fine until Teel is back, and Teel made it sound like he'd be back sooner than later.

☹️

Not sure what you mean. If an interesting flyer or depth piece pops up on waivers, they can put in a claim regardless of Baldwin and Teel. Those guys (and their immediate replacements) are already on the 40. Doesn't need to be someone expected to play in April, it can be another Romo who they nab and stash in Charlotte.

Domiguez pitched into and then out of a jam (walk, single, K, K, walk, K) in the 6th. Mune hit off a LHP to lead off the 8th, then he sits for a runner. Hays single, gets subbed too. Another solid showing for him. Productive groundout from Beni makes it 2nd and 3rd, Pereira knocks both in, 7-7 tie Pereira has had a good game. 2-3 with a HR, 4 RBI, and a walk. The only time he didn't reach was on a 107mph liner that a nice play was made on.

And 7 walks (6 consecutive) in one inning on the other side Must be sweaty hands tonight
