2018 MLB Spring Training Running Thread

If you had under one week in how long would it take for the new regime Mets to embarrass themselves, head to the window and collect your winnings!

Mets hang out with Donald Trump Jr. during team-building outing

 

Giants sign LHP Tony Watson overnight. Talk about remaking a team on the fly ...

 

Seems like a good signing.

 

When is a GM not a GM? When the GM is the Giants' Bobby Evans and ownership orders Brian Sabean -- now executive VP -- take day-to-day control, which he had relinquished in 2015.

Story is from The Athletic so it's probably behind a paywall. But it's a good move. Nothing Evans has done has worked out at all.

Giants ownership directs Brian Sabean to reassume day-to-day...

 

What a disgrace. They should really be careful about who they associate with.

 

Twins trade some prospect for Jake Odorizzi.

 

Oh come on. That was a PR thing with Cuba quite some time ago.

 

Considering the roster in '86, nobody should be complaining about Trump Jr. hanging out. I'm curious though, I always figured the Mets were the team more Republicans would root for, they're more of a Queens and Staten Island team, while the Yankees were Bronx, Manhattan and Hipster Brooklyn's team.

 

Rays also trade for CJ Cron and DFA Corey Dickerson.

 

Why would they dfa Dickerson?
And espn says hosmer to the padres!

 

Collusion.

Dickerson kinda blows and costs $6m.
