He also didn’t report when pitchers and catchers are supposed to, so I read

I read on Twitter he had until the 22nd. Not sure how accurate that is tho.

What a bird, lol. Boone saying he had awkward conversation following "the confusion"  of his time to report.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday that Cobb will be set back for about a month due to right hip inflammation, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis

Cobb's hip began bothering him as he was building up his offseason throwing program. He's been given a platelet-rich plasma injection and will be limited to rehab for a while. The veteran righty has some history with hip issues, although it was his left hip that he had surgery on last offseason. With Cobb likely to miss at least the first month of the season, there's an open spot in the Tigers' rotation. Casey Mize, Matt Manning, Kenta Maeda, Ty Madden, Brant Hurter and Keider Montero could all be in the mix to fill in.

Bregman at 2B is a waste of his overall value but still a stacked infield.

Kristian Campbell has only been playing 2B so far in ST.  Something is up with the Bosox.

Lol we can dream. Atkins would still get absolutely ripped apart by the casuals even with a trade that lopsided

Means (elbow) agreed Monday with the Guardians on a one-year, $1 million contract that includes a $7.5 million club option for 2026, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Good signing

Not this year but..next? Yeah probably. MLB would have to bring this in as a rule change and I doubt they would do it during a season.

I'm assuming this is a challenge based system vs full ABS?

How did you not already know the answer to this?

I've been a little preoccupied with the looming Vlad extension deadline and ensuing drama. Please forgive me if I've missed out of a few other tidbits of recent news.

Maybe you'd have more time to catch up with news if you weren't always writing 15 paragraph replies defending Atkins.

This is pretty hilarious.  I also had no idea they were testing the ball/strike challenge system this spring training - because I'm also preoccupied writing 15 paragraph replies defending Atkins.  Guilty.  LOL

The first step is admitting you have a problem

I generally support all GM's though.  I think fans unfairly rip on them far too much given the amount of information they have available to them.  If nothing else, I'm consistent.
