Tyler Glasnow will miss Opening Day.

 

Gavin Lux was carted off the field yesterday. He will be out indefinitely.

Joe Musgrove fractured his toe in the weight room.

[Bellhorn04]

Aroldis Chapman "slipped and fell" at home, split his lip and cracked a tooth.

Lux has a torn ACL. Out for the year…

Brutal.

Brutal.

 

At least they have Rojas. Imagine if the Sox lost Bogaerts; they'd have to move players all over the field.

That would suck, errr, wait....

You could be more recent since the Sox did lose their starting shortstop this year for the first few months…

If you have an athletic subscription, this "Joey Votto's commentary on the Oral History of Joey Votto" is terrific https://theathletic.com/4191913/2023/02/27/joey-votto-reds-oral-history/?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

Mondesi might be back before that... (though he has never played an inning at short for the Sox, like some other teammates).

[Bellhorn04]

Might the Jays be for real this year?

Nope.

[Bellhorn04]

Nope.

 

They look pretty solid to me. I think they have a shot at winning the division. We shall revisit.

So far, yes.

[Bellhorn04]

So far, yes.

 

Their roster looks pretty well constructed.

[moonslav59]

Pablo Lopez extended for 4 years at $73.5M by the Twins.

Heard this B4.

[Bellhorn04]

Heard this B4.

 

Understood. Maybe a little patriotic bias sneaking in on me...

[Bellhorn04]

The guy calling the shots for the Jays these days is Mark Shapiro, who was with the Guardians from 1991 to 2015. And he's been given a surprisingly big budget. I wasn't expecting to get outspent by the Jays.

[Bellhorn04]

Scherzer in a sticky situation. Maybe Girardi's freakout was justified.

@nickpiecoro

Sources: Left-hander Madison Bumgarner has been designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks.

 

LOL

 

More free time to get into motorcycle accidents.

He’s still owed about $35mill on his contract, which runs through 2024.

 

I bet he clears waivers…

Looks more and more like the A's will move to Las Vegas.

Will they change the team name or ride the “A’s/Athletics” moniker into their 4th city.

 

I think this might make them the most frequently relocated team of all time, once they do this and separate themselves from the Braves…

The worst carry-over name is "The Utah Jazz," although the "LA Lakers" is puzzling.

[bkzwhitestrican]

They should bring back their old logo of that elephant standing on a ball, that would fit with Vegas since they have those kind of circus acts.

[Bellhorn04]

Jays' 4 relievers last night each retired all 3 batters and struck out 2 of them.

I don’t get why some teams change and some don’t. I can see why Texas Senators would be silly, but what was wrong with Milwaukee Pilots?

[Jasonbay44]

Nelson Cruz is 42 and just had a 5 hit game and even stole a base, in a wild game in Mexico.
