Wanted to share this because the most recent incident on Clease’s end was an intentional ball that got whiffed hard by Andy Pages.

Murakami’s joining the White Sox!

His presence in a lot of the major WBC games made me think he’d be strategic about where he’d go if he was going to America. The White Sox have been going through it, but hopefully for them and the Pope, Murakami can help get them to the post-season.

Both of last year’s World Series are gonna look different this time around. 

Bo Bichette’s going to the Mets, which might be some good news for them after Alonso left, but it does mean the Blue Jays lost a pretty good player that’s been on the team for some time. It might also be a huge gamble since they’ll have to make sure that Bo and Juan Soto are enough to push them over the mark to the post-season this year. 

The Dodgers are also back to flexing their wallet with the Kyle Tucker acquisition. Time will only tell if it’s the kind of acquisition that would bring back last year’s calls for a salary cap.
