Here is an article about Jo Adell’s new swing and improvement he is seeing. It is unclear whether the article is written by Rhett Bollinger or Jordan Bastien.
Will Wagner got selected by the Blue Jays in time for the series with the Angels. Will he be a thorn in our side, a walking error, or just sit on the bench? The Padres reinstated Joe Musgrove from the 60 day IL and designated Carl Edwards for assignment to make room.
The Mariners just extended Victor Robles for two years. Only two years? Grow a pair Jerry. Extend him through his age 42 season.
Minor league right-hander Matt Bowman opted out of his deal with the Twins and is now a free agent. Instead, the Twins promoted Zebby Matthews who also was not on the 40 man roster. Other moves must be forthcoming.
Mookie Betts is back. He is playing right field and batting second after some former pitcher. The Dodgers also designated Ahmed Rosario for assignment.
Jarren Duran got suspended two games for uttering that homophobic slur at a fan. While that article says Duran was suspended by MLB, MLB says that the Red Sox suspended him “in consultation with Major League Baseball.” In any event, his salary for those two games will go to a charity supporting LGBTQ people and those who love them.
