- Here is a photo of Vlad Guerrero Jr from when this game started.
- The Dodgers Triple-A affiliate, Japan, has 3B slugger Munetaka Murakami expected to make the jump to the major leagues next year.
- Here is a side by side comparison of MLB's larger bases. The left is the old base, for comparison. The larger one is on the right.
Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added contextThis is an altered photo exaggerating the size of the new bases. The new bases are increasing in size, but not as much as this tweet implies. Link with accurate photos: ftw.usatoday.com/2023/02/mlb-bi… - My sources confirm the following bids for Juan Soto: Red Sox: $1M/1 yr Mets: $700M/15 yrs Yankees: $690M/15 yrs Blue Jays: Does it really matter? Dodgers: $1B/20 yrs. All payments deferred until after death
- Cedric Mullins, who wore 31 for his entire career in Baltimore, has asked the Mets to un-retire Mike Piazza's 31 for him. The Mets have obliged. They are all in. Mullins will wear 31 with the Mets.
- Kyle Schwarber's 488 foot home run would be out of Yankee Stadium twice.
- The Rangers 8 runs scored is the most run support that Jacob deGrom has ever received at Citi Field in 110 career starts.
- Ohtani's contract will be structured as follows: Year 1 - $1M Year 2 - $1M Year 3 - $1M Year 4 - $1M Year 5 - $1M Year 6 - $1M Year 7 - $1M Year 8 - $1M Year 9 - $1M Year 10 - $691M
- Pay close attention to Nick Castellanos' next at bat.
- I asked Ryan Helsley what he plans to do on his day off in Cincinnati. He said, "probably still give up 3 runs somehow."
- I spoke to Joe Girardi, who has just fired by the Phillies. He said, "I'm just happy to get out of Philadelphia. It's such a dirty and smelly city with nothing to do there."
- Gleyber Torres has signed with the Tigers. Here is what he might look like as a Tiger.
- Replying to @kmbcHi KMBC, I am a New York Mets beat writer for The Federalist. Can I use this tweet in my story about people from Kansas City not understanding the meaning of the word underdog? Thanks in advance.
