Chicago Cubs v Pittsburgh Pirates

Good morning everyone! Here’s what’s happening around baseball.

In Mariners news...

In his recent spot for 710 ESPN Seattle, Jon Morosi talked about the latest with the Bryan Reynolds negotiations and other possible fits for Seattle in the outfield.

Around the league...

10 umpires are calling it quits this winter, which is the highest number of retirements between seasons since 1999.
Miami feels like a sleeping giant in the trade market. They have so many coveted arms and a desperate need for hitting that I imagine someone will give them eventually.

Miami has had ongoing conversations about trading starting pitching. A ton. We have heard this for months, but they are adamant on acquiring a major upgrade to the 2023 lineup in any deal for their pitching. They are not chasing prospects.

Daniel Epstein wonders how likely it is that Carlos Correa winds up with each of his potential suitors at this stage.

Anders’ picks...

Rest in Peace to one of the GOATs.
