I wonder if yesterday was the first time two No. 1 picks in the MLB Draft were traded on the same day (Casey Mize, Adley Rutschman)?
The Double-A promotions for Braves prospects Cam Caminiti and Eric Hartman are now official.

Did Jim Crane pay off the rest of the AL West to just cede the Astros the division this year?
Since we can just make things up now, I’m declaring that Kirk Gibson never existed and the A’s won the 1988 World Series.
I feel like the issue with the Dodgers getting Skubal has less to do with a need for a salary cap or anything else and more to do with it being boring. Everyone knew that’s where he’d end up. Sports are more fun when there are surprises. This is just uninspired script writing.
Dodgers had a pre planned drone night for fans that is now undergoing technical difficulties. Probably trying to clear air space for Skubal’s flight or something.
Lucas Braun definitely dated Elaine Benes until “the incident”.
Kansas City Royals@royals.com · 4d agoWe have traded OF Lane Thomas and LHP Bailey Falter to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for RHP Lucas Braun and LHP Carter Holton.
and Denae Benites hits the first home run in Women's Pro Baseball League history!
An all-timer of a night for Jesús Made. 5-for-5, 2 HR, 7 RBIs Last knock is this grand slam:
Astros director of hitting and offensive coordinator Dan Hennigan is leaving the organization to become an assistant coach at Wake Forest, sources tell @theathletic.com. It is unclear if Hennigan will remain with the Astros for the remainder of the MLB season.
The A's have signed Mark McGwire's son Max and assigned him to the ACL Athletics. He's listed as a right-handed pitcher in the system, but the A's have signed him, unsurprisingly, as a first baseman. The A's are taking a chance on his power potential.

Interesting development in Worcester, Franklin Arias is starting at second base today. He started five games at second in Portland earlier this season (along with 56 at SS), but this marks his first Triple A start at second
MLB's decision to close the complex leagues early and then create a league where top draft picks debut but make it nearly impossible for anyone not at these parks to follow them is reason No. 1,000 why the league doesn't understand it's own fan interests.

On this day seven years ago, fearless explorer 'Amir The Brave' boldly crossed the Ohio River to take on the entire Pittsburgh Pirates organization by himself.
Max Clark making his MLB debut at Sutter Health Park seems bad for the 'gram.
Jose Canseco’s reaction in the dugout when Fox hit this improbable home run was the best part.
Joe Salvatore@radiojo.bsky.social · 7d agoWhere were you 34 years ago? I was in Minneapolis covering this series with the A’s and Twins . After a blowout win in Game 1, the A’s Came back in the final 2 games capped by the Eric Fox 3-run HR in the 9th in the final game to over take Twins for 1st in AL West . (1/2)

Jake Gelof has 3 HR for Tulsa tonight. That's pretty cool.
