I am going to the Scottsdale Scorpions game this afternoon (3;00 p.m. local time). I hope that a reasonable number of Red Sox prospects will play (always a crap shoot).

Category 4 winds and 20-30 inches of rain are precited for a wide swath of the west coast of Florida and Ft. Myers is at dead center of the predicted landfall as of 11:25 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.
This could create severe damage at the area stadiums and related structures and affect the Instructionl League.

Neither did I, and I am similarly pleased with myself.

Will the hurricane damage prevent the Puerto Rican winter league from playing part or all of its schedule?

Bloom is perceived by many fans as doing a better job as more guys come off the Injured List.

Mayer's wrist problems earlier this season could have had an effect on his K rate. His significant reduction in K's the past 4 weeks suggest that it was either the wrist or that he has been chasing less or both.

Is Rafaela only 5-8, 152? We have heard that he is perhaps 2 inches taller and 20 pounds heavier now. Is accurate information available about his height and weight?

Jake Diekman to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for catcher Reese McGuire and a player to be named later or cash considerations. McGuire, 27, is batting .225/.261/.285 and was arguably the White Sox’ best defensive catcher.

I hope another trade results in a catcher who has a chance to be major league average.

One of the deadline trades would need to bring back a solid catcher for it to make sense to move Vasquez. The deal for Vasquez's replacement would need to be made before Vasquez is moved. Otherwise, the price for the new No. 1 catcher would increase significantly.

Alex Speier just picked a "random" name of a player in the Boston minors and threw it into that list?

Is Dalbec vs Casas really a thing? Dalbec has a chance of developing into a good complimentary piece of the team (one might say he's already there). Casas will be a core player, an all-star at times. There's no contest. Casas is easily the most exciting Red Sox 1b prospect since Mo Vaughn. Anthony Rizzo says "Hi!"

My worry about Devers is that he might weigh 275 pounds in the spring after signing a 10-year contract.

Devers appeared to gain quite a bit of weight in at least 2 searsons. Let's hope that they check his weight frequently so that it is not repeated in 2022.

By announcing the lockout now instead of after the December 5 (previously scheduled but now cancelled) major leauge portion of the Rule 5 draft, Yankee fan Rob Manfred likely saved the Yankees from losing 3 valuable players.
