February 19Feb 19 https://www.mlb.com/news/new-pitchers-ready-for-marlins-to-call-pitches-from-dugout The Marlins will be calling games from the dugout this season, and the Giants and Rockies might follow suit. Kinda surprised there's not more consternation about it. Also wonder what it does to the trade value of pitchers/catchers who end up with no experience calling games. They can't use Pitchcom for it (yet?) so perhaps a savvy opposing team can find ways to quickly relay the calls to batters.

Like all plays in the NFL called by the coaches not the QB like in the 80s

February 20Feb 20 Author Bryan Ramos probably would have looked good about now. Jordan Westburg has a partial UCL tear in his right elbow and will be getting a PRP injection today, per Orioles POBO/GM Mike Elias. Westburg will be out for all of April. Timeline TBD after that. — Jake Rill (@JakeDRill) February 20, 2026
February 20Feb 20 Author Somebody just mentioned this... The Baltimore Orioles have acquired 3B Bryan Ramos from the Cardinals, per sources. Ramos was previously traded from the White Sox to Baltimore, later designated for assignment by the Orioles and claimed by the Cardinals. Now, he returns to the Orioles once again. — Francys Romero (@francysromeroFR) February 20, 2026

You don't agree with their strategy of trying to extinguish a fire sale halfway through? 😅 Twins not being able to cash out on Lopez and Guards not being able to cash out on Clase are both potentially high impact non-moves for the division power balance. Skubal could join that list soon depending on how that shakes out.

February 21Feb 21 Author Merk's notes White Sox prospect certainly felt his 1st spring HR: 'Reality hit there' Quote Cannon, who is battling for the one or two spots open in the White Sox rotation, was happy with his effort Friday. He allowed one run over 1 2/3 innings, striking out three and walking one. He was touched up on Seiya Suzuki’s home run in the first. “Wanted to work on the two fastballs, sinker and four-seam,” Cannon said. “That’s kind of been a point of emphasis this spring, working on that sinker and kind of using both of those fastballs. And then just kind of dialing back in the offspeed command. “I thought that could be better, that was just kind of the point of improvement going forward, could definitely be more in the zone a little bit more. But overall, I thought it was good, a lot to build off of, long spring ahead.”
