I just saw his interview with Tom Verducci and am impressed by his willingness to take responsibility for his role in the sign stealing fiasco. He did not pass the buck or dodge any questions. He seemed genuinely remorseful and was very apologetic to the players, fans and baseball in general...

Pending the outcome of the commissioner's investigation. Hopefully, all of this will be cleared up before the middle of spring training.

The deal is not finalized yet, but it looks like the Dodgers will be getting Luis Rengifo. Other pieces are not certain, just yet.

The Cubs have 2 years of team control. Will he be a Cub at the end of 2021?

He has a full tool-box and won't hurt the team. He won't be around for a really long time, but should be OK for a couple of seasons.

It appears that the automated strike-zone will be here as soon as 2021, with testing in the minors this year. I'm sure everyone will like the consistency, but catchers will lose one of their skills -- pitch framing. I like the idea and hope it works out well. It might even speed up the game...

Keeping their choice "in-house". He has been with the team for a long time and knows the players well. He should be a decent choice.

Derek Jeter received 396 out of the 397 votes cast. I see absolutely no reason to try to find which writer didn't vote for him. They had their reasons, and ultimately it does not matter. He got in and rightfully so. Larry Walker influenced an entire country of kids to give baseball a try. He...

Reported today on MLB Network. Where do they go for a manager now?

4/$92MM. Obviously, I like the deal for the Twins. This will be a scary offense. I look for the team to be better in 2021, as they should be able to bring in some of the top pitchers in the FA market. What pitcher wouldn't want to pitch with that offense? The defense will be better, too.
