And in a related story, Bryce Harper took himself out of Saturday nught's game in the fifth inning. The Phillies reported he had "right shoulder soreness."
Toronto smoke Nola a little bit as well in that one. Jays be for real, folks.
Hmm.
Guerrero figured out that playing at 300 pounds wasn't a good idea. Seriously, they've got a nice set of hitters that is a blend of youth and experience. Curious to see if that holds up all year and what the stat line looks like at the end of the season. Seems like everyone in baseball has pitching depth issues and it's no different for them.
AL East should be interesting. I have to figure the Red Sox will fade, but Martinez appears to be back in full force and Devers and Bogaerts are flat-out studs. Verdugo is also pretty decent. A lot will depend on how their second-tier guys (especially Dalbec) fare.
How many holes would THAT LH bat fill here?!?!? If AA could somehow land him, I'd at least consider going to Acuna and asking him to move down one spot in the order...
Verdugo, Acuna, Freeman, Ozuna, Albies, Riley, Contreras???
Yes, please.
Lol, we’re not getting Verdugo. Besides, our issues offensively come from LHP. Verdugo wouldn’t help that.
