The Toe back with the Rockies...sort of.

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/mlb/4649/mark-reynolds

Rockies signed 1B Mark Reynolds to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Reynolds put up an .839 OPS with 30 home runs and 97 RBI over 148 games with Colorado in 2017 before predictably regressing last year as a part-time player with the Nationals. Free agent acquisition Daniel Murphy appears locked in as the Rockies' new primary first baseman, and Ian Desmond and Ryan McMahon also figure to get reps at the position, so Reynolds probably isn't going to have the opportunity to do nearly as much Coors Field mashing in his return there. The 35-year-old can be ignored in standard fantasy drafts this spring

It was just a procedural move to allow him to spend a couple extra days with his newborn: https://dodgersnation.com/dodgers-news-evan-phillips-expected-to-rejoin-team-in-pittsburgh-today/2023/04/25/

Very quietly, Buck and Dan are still unemployed.  Interesting.  I know a lot of folks seemed very sure both would immediately get jobs elsewhere the minute they left the Orioles.  But they haven't.  Is Duquette seen as out of touch in this analytic-driven era?  And has Buck's Britton decision in 2016 tarnished his reputation?  Or was Buck's decision to bat Chris Davis over 400 times last year, usually in the middle of the order, part of it?  Or is it something else?  Maybe they're just deciding to hang it up after two frustrating years (I could hardly blame them).

I did figure Buck would have a job on TV within days of leaving the O's.

Kind of a bit shocked by this, even a M-I-L deal:

The Giants have agreed to a minor league contract with veteran outfielder Gerardo Parra, reports Jon Heyman of the MLB Network (Twitter link). The Octagon client will head to Major League Spring Training in hopes of earning a spot on San Francisco’s Opening Day roster. If he can, Parra would earn a $1.75MM salary, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network (Twitter link), with $250K in incentives tied to plate appearances.

I know you and others felt that way.

I know Buck talked a few times over the years about life after Baltimore and I sure got the impression, that he wanted to spend time with his family and enjoy life, as he missed so much, working.

      Soto has been fine since his first couple appearances and appears to be picking up steam. That makes seven. Problem is Cano has been the most reliable and all of a sudden looked terrible twice in a row. Hopefully he can get in one decent appearance in the final series.

      So It's 13 pitchers for the Wild card round? What position player are you dropping?

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
