Random tidbit from another opening weekend series:
In each of their first two games, the Padres' starter has given up no hits (Darvish yesterday, Manaea today.) This early in the season, and with the abbreviated spring training affecting pitchers' stamina, neither starter was left in the game to complete a no-hitter.

The same reliever was first up both nights and lost the no-no two nights in a row.

Rogers picked up save #1 for the Pads yesterday as well.

MLBTR has a rumor up about the Athletics being interested in Andrew Vaughn, presumably in return for Montas. Seems like something that could happen, now that Lynn and Giolito are both on the IL.

BaseballTradeValues.com thinks it would be a pretty even swap straight-up:

Ugh ... I would hate that

I was never a big fan of Vaughn, as 1B who don't have much power bore me.

But if the White Sox are willing to put a dent in their future to better secure wins today, when I don't think the Twins actually are legit contenders, I suppose that might be to the Twins benefit.

The Yankee lineup is ridiculous. 

Yeah, Yankees/Dodgers WS is looking pretty clear right now.

Told you gambling would be baseball's downfall.  :)

Quite the contrary. Gambling adds entertainment value!!

Who doesn't love a good slap fight??

The Baltimore Orioles are on their way to a four game sweep of the L.A. Angels this afternoon and within one game of .500, and are in the wild card hunt, while the Angels sink deeper into fourth place in the A.L. West.

Are there any 'good' managers left? What managers successfully employ a 'win at all costs' process that aren't completely reliant on their teams' superior talent?

Amid all the trade news, MLB dropped this fun video this afternoon, a battle between Javy Baez facing Jose Berrios in the first inning yesterday.

In this single plate appearance, Baez goes 3-4 with two homers, two walks, and a strikeout :)

Austin Riley signs for 10 years, 212 million dollars.

Who cares.  We got Tyler Jay in that draft.

Thanks for reminding me. I mean, Riley went 41st, did MN pass twice, or once?

Just once, and it's not a fair comparison because a ton of other teams passed too, yadda, yadda, yadda.  Just not the best day to see this news item too.

Cleveland optioned Franmil Reyes. He is the last player they have left from their big Trevor Bauer haul.

Just thought I’d share the schadenfreude.

San Diego traded Brent Rooker. Last great player obtained in that Twins trade.

OOTP Baseball type injury, right @ashbury?

Only thing more OOTP like would be if his randomly generated name were Martin Martin or Sven Gonzalez. :)

Mentioned this before, but I was thinking with the Twins OF issues, Robbie Grossman would have been a nice undercover pickup.

It's only a few games but he's off to a nice start in Atlanta.

Gotta admit I’m jealous, that’s a very fair price for a very good starter. Too bad the Twins prioritized Mahle over Castillo.
