Everyone is impressed with the Rays for having like two starters, but no one will praise Dave Dombrowski for having like two relievers. Double-standard imo.

With Garrett Hampson, Ryan McMahon and Brendan Rodgers all looking like they can contribute in 2019, it will be interesting to see how the Rox screw up the development of all three.

It’s a bummer that Francisco Lindor and now maybe Jose Ramirez are hurt, but at least the Tribe spent all offseason building up the rest of their rost ... oh. Oh no.

The good news is Alex Wood, Sonny Gray and Tanner Roark will dramatically upgrade the Reds rotation. The bad news is also that Wood, Gray and Roark represent massive upgrades.

It’s great that the Rays locked up Blake Snell for five more years, ensuring that he’ll be a Ray at least until they have to actually start paying him seven figures in 2021.

Maybe Atlanta’s true strategy is to protect their young arms by having so, so, so many of them that each only needs to throw about 60 innings a year?

Adam Eaton. Ryan Zimmerman. Stephen Strasburg. Now maybe Anthony Rendon. It’s obvious why the Nationals didn’t extend Bryce Harper; he doesn’t get hurt enough.
