First bit of 2021 news......JT Realmuto suffered a fractured right thumb today. It will be immobilized for the next 2 weeks. Hopeful he can still be ready for opening day.

We play them the first two weekends of the season, so that could be a break for us

Mets signed Taijuan Walker

He's certainly super talented, but I'd be surprised if he made more than 10-15 starts. Still, I assume it'll be a 1/2 year deal, so not a bad risk/reward for a guy you expect to be your 5th starter at some point this season.

2 years / $20m, player option for 3rd year.

2021 - $10m
2022 - $7m
2023 - $6m base with escalators that could make it $8.5m; $3m buy out.

4.56/4.82 FIP/xFIP last year. coming back from injuries, of course. but he ain't much.

at what point do the Angels have Ohtani ditch pitching and just hit?
he's going 2 innings on the mound today. feel like he's just going to keep getting hurt.
