I had totally forgotten this trade was still unresolved.

The @Mariners have sent minor league INF Luis Chevalier to Cincinnati as the PTBNL in the April 16 trade that sent RHP Riley O’Brien to Seattle.

George Kirby is already out here setting records.

George Kirby is the FIRST pitcher in American League history (2nd in MLB history) with 28+ strikeouts and 3 or fewer walks over his first 5 career games.

Nathalie Alonso wrote about Veronica Hernández, the Modesto Nuts GM who is the first Latina GM in minor league baseball history.

Around the league...

This story just won’t die.

Mike Trout declined to comment on whether Joc Pederson violated the rules of the fantasy league. He said he is unsure if he’ll resign as commissioner for this coming season. “Every commissioner I know gets booed,” he said.

Tommy Pham told his side of the story regarding the slap.
This season is turning out to be pretty successful for the Mets.

Biggest division leads in MLB history on June 1st:

11 games - 2017 Astros
10.5 games - 1971 Giants
10.5 games - 2022 Mets

The Nationals are not entertaining the idea of trading Juan Soto.
I’m guessing this means we’ll be able to see this in Seattle next year.
