Congratulations to the Diamondbacks on being the “Team of the Offseason” in 2018-2019.

There may be no team that has a more intriguing winter than the Arizona #Dbacks. They’ll undergo a massive overhaul of their #MLB roster where virtually everyone but Paul Goldschmidt will be available while free agents Pat Corbin and AJ Pollock will be departing

Marc Normandin says it’s the Red Sox’s fault that the Orioles are as bad as they are.
CC Sabathia was tossed for plunking Jesus Sucre and lost half a million dollars as a result.
Jeff Sullivan at Fangraphs wrote about the amazing Willians Astudillo, who hadn’t struck out all month. As fate would have it, he struck out just hours after the article was published.

Anders’ picks...

Get well soon, Steve!
