AZ Phil, I know Gimenez has an opt out on June 1. Do you know if Court, Freeman, Navarro, Bass, Ryan also have opt outs?

HAGSAG: I don't know if anyone else signed to a minor league contract besides Gimenez has an opt-out. I wasn't even aware that Gimenez had one until it was reported this past weekend, since an opt-out wasn't automatic because he does not have Article XX-B rights.

munenori kawasaki has retired.

they should shut the game of baseball down world-wide for at least a week to properly mourn.

Three things I'm relatively certain of.

 

The Cubs would like KB to sign a team-friendly extension.

Derek Jeter would rather keep Pick 60 (which can be traded) instead of swapping it for Eddie Butler and a few pieces.

Theo has offered Mune a spot in the hierarchy.

total pain spring for jason heyward and albert almora...they're probably ready to reset their stats.

also, vogelbomb won spring training all-around, but he's going to be fighting for playing time at DH/1st since that's about all he can do. .400/.531/.900, 6HR, 7 doubles...damn.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    5 IN A ROW!

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    You have to C it! (tm)

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks

    suzuki 10d IL.

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    Seiya on IL with an oblique strain

  • crunch (view)

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...

  • George Altman (view)

    I'll always remember his 3-0 No-hitter against the Braves when Aaron's HR was blown back into the LF well and BIlly Williams made the catch with his back against the ivy.
