How legit are the Rangers?
I feel like the Rangers and Orioles are similar teams. Great offense, good relievers, but they are gonna have issues with starting pitching and eventually those relievers are gonna break down. What the Orioles are doing is amazing to me because I can't even name one of their starting pitchers.
Alek Manoah fell off hard.
6.36 ERA and he’s actually outperformed his FIP.
degrom will have TJS
Wow on the Jacob deGrom news. Considering how many were connecting him to the Braves in the offseason, that could have been trouble

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal says the Royals have told teams they'd like to pair Aroldis Chapman with another veteran in trade talks in order to shed salary.
It's not a must, according to Rosenthal, but it's something they're looking at. Rosenthal speculates on a Chapman-Scott Barlow pairing, which is odd since Barlow has positive trade value and will bring a decent return himself. If the Royals are truly looking to trim salary, the injured Brad Keller or Amir Garrett would make more sense to attach to Chapman.

Ozuna already surpass Riley in OPS yet? Lol

Marlins are 32-17 vs. all teams outside of Atlanta and NYM. They are 3-11 against those two.
Proof that AA is WAY smarter than we are?
The 4 most popular names mentioned to replace Dansby:
Trea Turner: Currently has a .676 OPS and .5 bWAR after signing an 11 year 270 million dollar deal
Carlos Correa: .660 OPS and .2bWAR after signing for 6 years and 200 million.
Willy Adames: .700 OPS and .9 bWAR. His 86.1 EV is by far the lowest of his career.
Amed Rosario (My top choice given what I assumed would have been a low acquisition cost): He's been the 5th worst defender in baseball according to DRS and currently sports -.6 bWAR.
And 1 more for good measure. Elvis Andrus was a name thrown around as sort of a last resort type of option. And there were more than a couple posters who couldn't believe we let him sign with the Chi-Sox for a paltry 3 million. He currently has a .516 OPS and -.5 bWAR
