Two mainstays of the past couple years move on:

Austin Wynns -- minor league deal with the Phillies

Pat Valaika -- minor league deal with the Braves

Not that it is in any way surprising, but Buck is killing it with the NY media.

Let’s see how he does with the media the first time the Mets are in a slump.

Just bring up more stories of monkeys throwing batting practice and jungle cats stalking the backfields.

Nationals just claimed Hunter Harvey.   Let the hand wringing commence.

Richard Bleier signed a 2/$6 mm deal with the Marlins, keeping him there a year beyond free agency.

• Alex Cobb throwing 97: Full disclosure: I haven't seen this yet. But multiple scouts have heard that Cobb, whose fastball averaged 93 mph last season, is hitting 97 these days. If that's the case -- or if he's anywhere close to that -- the San Francisco Giants are going to have one whale of a rotation, and the predictions of severe regression might be a tad premature. Cobb, Logan Webb, a healthy Carlos Rodon, Alex Wood, Anthony DeSclafani? That will play against anyone.

Lol it's a lock that Cobb becomes an All-Star after leaving Baltimore.  Probably wins a Cy Young, too.

There is only one Rougned Odor and the O's snagged him!

Tommy Milone, minor league deal, Mariners.

Amazing to me how so many of the bad pitchers that have filled out the back of our major league and AAA roster during the tanking are still gainfully employed throwing baseballs.

That is a demonstrably false statement.

Yes, I'm aware.

I guess the joke within a joke didn't land?
