On-field events (OAK's recent injury run) and off (Justin Verlander's extension) offer clues and ideas about the future, including Lou Trivino's late-inning upside. Now on Opening Day, time to assess the spring and speculate...
Adam Jones is the early choice to replace Steven Souza in ARI. Plus, Holland named ARI closer, Correa's status unclear, Eloy Jimenez gets the call, Senzel injures ankle, Foltynewicz to see game action next week, and more.
ATL has found their stopgap backstop in Brian McCann. Plus, the Marlins drink the Kool-Aid from their fountain of youth, Kieboom goes the dynamite (soon) in WAS, and more.
Pablo Lopez might be the best of the youngsters in Miami's rotation after Dan Straily's release. Plus, KC cuts Brian Goodwin, Alex Cobb uncertain for Opening Day, and Mark Trumbo on 60-day IL.
Eric Thames is in a good situation to display his power in MIL. Also: stolen base upside in PIT, Carpenter concerns in STL, the domino effect of Gennett's injury in CIN, and the rotating door of relievers for CHC.
The O's claimed Pedro Severino off waivers and he's now their No. 1 catcher. Plus, ATL sends Winkler, Duvall to minors; Reed headed to SF; Tapia, Reynolds make COL roster; Trumbo to start on IL; Ramirez injures knee; and more.
Alex Colome is indeed ready to close out games for the White Sox, according to manager Rick Renteria. Plus updates on Gennett, German, McNeil and more.
Avisail Garcia may benefit if Matt Duffy starts the year on the injured list in TAM, but perhaps not as much as you think. Also: BAL's 3B job, BOS' second catcher and closer, NYY's opener experiment and TOR's bullpen woes.
