MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

Maybe they can bring Carl Everett back, too.

This drew a literal LOL.

 

They got rid of Beckham in the first place cause he was terrible, was he the only option they had?

Mustache (Villanueva) signed a minor league deal with the Cards.

He's finally on the right side of the rivalry.

Victor Martinez to have knee surgery. This has huge implications for the AL Central. I'm sure the Sox fans are feeling extra confident now, and this worries me.

Meniscus surgery recovery is only like 4-6 weeks or so. He should be back before opening day.

I kinda doubt it. You think he just comes back 100% after missing most if not all of spring training and at age 35/36?

[Butcher]

Fuck the White Sox. The only way they win their division is if every other team in the AL Central finishes below .500.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Sox win the Central. It probably will take only 86 wins or so.

I didn't know they made ACLs that small.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

Nor that scrappy.

Could this be one easy/stealth solution to goosing offense in MLB in the future? The league has at times made changes to balls such as modifying stitching that supposedly helped in 1987 and 1993, aside from PEDs, of course. We'll see if it works at the college level first.

The article says that the stitching change makes the balls akin to the balls they use in MLB already. Can the stitching be adapted that much more in the bigs?
