Alek Thomas
Garbage in, garbage out. Still not difficult at all to imagine Thomas outperforming both Peters and Acuna for the remainder of the season. (But then you also have to fit in Pereira/Hays/Kelenic somewhere as well.) https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/news/why-diamondbacks-dfad-alek-thomas-surprising-roster-move/6ad858858bd2c30df7e41ba5

2026 MILB Catch-All
"With continued performance, Montgomery could be up in Chicago within a few weeks hitting bombs alongside Munetaka Murakami and Colson Montgomery." That was what I was responding to...not the exit velocity stuff. Just thought it was a completely ridiculous timeline. Then it was still a headline article today when I was looking up Trade Central for the Patrick Bailey/Guardians' move so just assumed it was new information without even clicking on it...since I don't have a subscription...never mind.

Munemania: Rated 100/10
Is being connected to Thomas right now actually a good thing in the eyes of the front office? Does Mune know anything about the history? Surely he was just following photographer's pose suggestion...thought it was flattering to be in same conversation undoubtedly. Why does Mune recent shot look so faded/washed out in comparison?

2026 AL Central Watch
The Guardians demoted catcher Bo Naylor to make room for SFG's Patrick Bailey. The underachieving San Francisco Giants decided to shake up things early, trading Gold Glove catcher Patrick Bailey to the Cleveland Guardians for left-handed pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson and their first-round pick, No. 29, in this year's draft... Hedges remains the primary backup. 29th Pick, 2026 MLB DraftBecause it is a competitive balance pick, the Guardians are allowed to trade this pick. It is the first of the competitive balance picks, and comes with a $3.27 million bonus allotment. The Giants already had the fourth overall pick. Adding this to their draft pool means they now have a $17.35 million total bonus pool that ranks fourth most, not far behind the White Sox, who pick first overall.... https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/giants-acquire-matt-tugboat-wilkinson-no-29-pick-for-patrick-bailey/

2026 MLB Draft Thread...White Sox Control Draft/V.Lackey closing fast
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lombard&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjz_Ljc-KyUAxUnk2oFHYjkN_0QFnoECA8QAg&usg=AOvVaw3aSWANjxIxUB8MO5q2uPay That hit tool with both the father and brother (Yankees' prospect, 732 career milb) makes him a more dangerous pick. Whereas the Holiday brothers as well as Druw Jones seemingly got the benefit of the doubt because of their fathers' respective careers. George Sr was simply a fantastic athlete, the KW special multi sport star.

White Sox win draft lottery, will pick #1 in 2026
Girlfriends families scouts … groupies I guess aren’t described with that word in 2026, what’s the politically correct term besides fans/followers?

PCA is a big fat crybaby with a contract extension
Bregman the common denominator across Houston Boston and now the Cubs…hard to dismiss his playoff record/winning records out of hand as a fluke or coincidence.

Panicans Strike Back...first Mune trade rumors
It was supposed to be Beckham 18 years ago. Didn’t work out. It has to be your 1-1 pick at SS…and many have already completely forgotten Colson’s back problems. He could get hurt swinging or at 3B LF RF 1B, surely….but the wear and tear comparatively, the likelihood is still lesser. Carlson undoubtedly has the best defense of all, but nobody knows for sure if his hit tool will develop yet.

Look at every single report on his defense. There are at least 15 that all pretty much say the same thing.

GAME THREAD: 5/8/26 6:40pm | Sox vs Mariners |Burke vs Hancock
Scouts praise his instincts and quick first step, and that's backed with solid-average arm strength. Second base may ultimately be his home defensively as he. 50/50 fielding and arm Antonacci fairly similar to Chase 45 runner might be 50 speed but 40 instincts like Madrigal

He's going to get exposed as the year goes on...he should be at second until Carlson takes that spot away. Or Cholowsky.

GAME THREAD: 5/8/26 6:40pm | Sox vs Mariners |Burke vs Hancock
At least Neto has consistent in game power. Meidroth seems like he's always around 690.... solid bench player on a playoff team. Have to hope Carlson can figure out his swing in the next couple of years.

That's why Nishida Bergolla Mogollon Gonzalez would suffer similar fates at this level. Jeral Perez MIGHT have a shot.

See Brewers Rays Guardians. All would maximize his trade value. Ishbia bucks a long time away.

Peters is actually top ten in CF fwar. Meidroth high teens. Benintendi and Quero the biggest weaknesses overall on the season.
