- The best time to hand him a blank check was last offseason. The second best time to hand him a blank check is right now.
Cal Raleigh should be an All-Star.

- Cole Young slapped a single in the bottom of the first inning of the Future’s Game. Young went 1-3, and Harry Ford drew a walk in the bottom of the second inning, which was his only at-bat of the day.
That’ll play, @ColeYoung23! #FuturesGame pic.twitter.com/PFkZPNo8BD

- This is so cute, look at the way Dan is smiling! I think it’s safe to say this routine works.

Around the league...
- At this point, every time I see that Castellanos homered I go straight to trending to see what I might have missed. In this particular instance, I didn’t need to check.
OF COURSE Nick Castellanos just hit a home run.

- Dodgers RHP Dustin May, who was nearing a return following a torn flexor tendon in his pitching arm, will now miss the remainder of the 2024 season after suffering a torn esophagus.
- The Dodgers have claimed screwball specialist Brent Honeywell Jr. off waivers from the Pirates.
- A-Rod, you have to get some more bend in those knees, and stop trying to generate power with your shoulders before you kill somebody!
⚾️ ♂️ A-Rod’s swing is _________.
