Astros pitcher Francis Martes has received a 162-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Boldenone, a performance-enhancing substance. Martes, who was suspended for a PED violation last March, will begin his suspension at the start of the 2020 regular season.

The San Francisco Giants’ 10-year reunion of their 2010 World Series championship team will convene on Aug. 16 this year, but with a notable exception.
Aubrey Huff, the 2010 Giants’ starting first baseman and leader in home runs, will not be invited by the organization to the ceremony due to a number of comments he has made on social media, the team said in a statement released to The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly.
Among those comments are a denouncement of the Giants hiring Alyssa Nakken, the first female coach in MLB history, and saying the hire’s locker room reception has “#metoo & #BelieveAllWomen written all over it.”
...Huff has been vocal for years on Twitter about a number of political and social topics, including almost daily tweets supporting President Donald Trump. Among his other tweets are comments on the “sexual market value” of men and women, mockery of transgender pronouns, condemnation of divorce alimony for athletes and scribbles of Conor McGregor beating up a liberal then high-fiving Trump.
What would be good Walk-Up music to troll the Astros with?
Ace of Base comes to mind.

If they ever make a sequel to the movie 'Bang the Drum Slowly', it will probably be about the 2017 Astros.

That was the only hiccup I saw. I would propose they move Urshela to SS, he's played there and this would open up 3B for Andujar. I'm not educated on how well Urshela could play SS, I just know that he's done it.
I'd also considered a 3 way deal where Senzel would go to San Diego, Torres in Cincinnati, and Machado in New York (with a few other moving pieces). The problem with that one was whether or not to get Wil Myers into the deal.
