Good morning everyone! We’re back to the start of another week, and it’s been a fairly quiet weekend. For now, here’s what you need to know today.

- Well, I guess that’s settled.
Jose Altuve just walked by a group of reporters, took his shirt off, turned around bare-chested, grabbed another shirt and put it on.

Yes, there was a tattoo on his left collarbone. I’m not sure if it was bad or not.
- Well that does...not settle it.
The Rob Manfred answer on buzzers was revealing in several ways:
— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) February 16, 2020
1) MLB was "aware" of this "before the investigation."
2) Since he felt players were honest about 2017 & '18, it was "hard to figure out" why they'd lie about '19
3) Is he "100% sure" there were no buzzers? He's not
- I almost forgot they were still investigating the Red Sox.
Manfred says Red Sox investigation will be completed by the end of next week. It has been slowed by "a couple of developments that slowed it down and people had to be reinterviewed."
