The A's are 10-42, the worst start in MLB in 91 years. They have a 6.88 ERA as a team. They are batting .222. They have been outscored by 184 runs. We are witnessing one of the worst teams of all-time. Always remember, this was done intentionally.

With the Juan Soto sweepstakes heating up, I looked at every example of a team trading for a recent top MVP finisher in the last 30 years. Short version: Teams acquiring such a player almost always win the trade, and win big, no matter the prospect cost.

A fan with a megaphone in one of the buildings surrounding Petco Park is going down the Astros roster and saying "(Player name), you are a cheater, shame on you."

I was there. As I was for the dozens of raucous sellouts in prior years. It was one of the best stadium atmospheres in any sport, then the Spanos family drove everyone away and claimed "See, we have no support." A family of dishonest cowards, getting the humiliation they deserve

4 years ago today, the SAN DIEGO #Chargers played a game against the defending Super Bowl champs, #Seahawks . 120° on the field, didn't stop this raucous fanbase from repping their team. This is what you gave away @NFL for that embarrassment in Carson. #SpanosSucks #FightForSD

The Rays and Mets are continuing to pay their minor leaguers the usual stipends and allowances they receive during spring training. Other clubs have yet to establish formal plans, but they and league officials say they are working on it.

Oh my goodness. Dodgers prospect Yunior Garcia just hit a home run 489 feet, per Trackman, off Mariners prospect Michael Morales. 110 mph off the bat. That ball was annihilated.

One thing to note: The MLB lockout has no effect on the minor leagues except 40-man players would not be able to play. In terms of minor league Opening Day or other minor league operations, nothing changes. Minor League Opening Day remains April 8.

Mike Brito did more than just scout. He opened Mexico as a talent pipeline and reshaped the Dodgers franchise on and off the field. For his contributions to baseball, Brito is the 2021 @BaseballAmerica Tony Gwynn Lifetime Achievement Award winner.

The Astros began the trend of teams cutting scouts and replacing them with video and data scouting. After seeing how that approach turned out, the Astros have pivoted and are now hiring scouts at the fastest rate of any team in baseball.
