Seiya Suzuki was injured last night in the WBC. Limped off the field with a knee problem. Not seeing any news yet on the MRI but in doubt for opening day for the Cubs.
Aren't they actually "Italian surnames" as opposed to sounding Italian? Pepperoni is an American word, but sure sounds ItalianQuote:

Wow, pitchers today burn brighter for shorter stints and flame out sooner. Often wonder how Bench, Rose, Morgan, Foster, Schmidt, Frank Robinson, Mantle, and other stars of the 60’s 70’s and 80’s would fare today against 98-100 mph fastballs, 95 mph cutters and 90 mph sliders? I suppose they would have adjusted and still be among today’s best hitters.Quote:

The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Santiago Espinal’s contract after their 5-1 win over the Giants on Wednesday, adding him to the Opening Day roster.
LA signed Espinal to a minor league deal towards the beginning of spring training, and manager Dave Roberts said he “seamlessly” fit in with the rest of the squad since arriving.
His comfortability has been apparent, as he has been one of the Dodgers’ best players during Cactus League play. He’s slashing .389/.432/.639 with two home runs and 13 RBIs, and has also been perfect in the field for the Dodgers with a 1.000 fielding percentage.

According to Jon Heyman:
Extension talk updates: Peralta/Mets not close yet, Kurtz offered about $130M (but deal seems unlikely now), Griffin, 19, offered biggest deal ever for no MLB service time, $100M-plus and that one might have a chance, maybe!
So Reds fans didn't think he was good enough to be on the roster last year but the world champs beg to differ.Quote:
