MLB Trade Rumors is seeking a podcast producer. Do producers wear berets, or is that just directors? I almost considered subtitling this one “Thoracic Park” but I don’t want to jinx Jared Walsh. See Strasburg news below.
Rob Manfred sings Viva Las Vegas. Alex Cora calls the new bases pizza boxes. Heads up! Incoming Mike Scioscia! Aaron Judge at first base? At least he’s got a lot of reach.
The Injuries
Stephen Strasburg might be toast, ladies and gentlemen. Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell will miss at least seven weeks due to hamate surgery. Frankie Montas will have shoulder surgery and could miss all of 2023.
The Minor Stuff
The Pirates signed Kent Emanuel to a minor league deal. The Royals signed Franmil Reyes, also to a minor league deal. Matt Wisler gets his minor league deal with the Tigers. Heyman says the Angels are in the mix for Zack Britton. Rosenthal confirms they at least scouted the man.
Arbitration Results
Brady Singer lost his arbitration proceeding against the Royals. Corbin Burnes lost his against the Brewers. Settle your cases, folks. Why listen to people bad mouth you all day and then turn around and lose a half million bucks or more because of it?
