Sitting Ben Rice two straight days against lefties after the start he has been on is completely insane.

I wrote a lengthy preview of Pool B for the WBC tournament. While the USA is obviously the heavy favorite, do not sleep on Mexico and Italy, as they could make some noise. Link is in the comments below.

I previewed the favorite from Pool A, Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, insurance issues have sapped much of the talent from their roster, but they are still the favorite in Pool A, albeit far more vulnerable than previously expected. Link is in the comments below.

Does Team Canada have a shot at making it out of their pool? I previewed their roster and what has to break right for them to advance to the quarterfinals. Article link is in the comments.

@MLB These jerseys are a true classic

[MLB @MLB]

A jersey so good we had to share it with the fans 😮‍💨

Repost and reply for your chance to win a new Marlins teal throwback jersey!

@JonHeyman @Ken_Rosenthal The Red Sox have an abundance of pitching depth, especially left-handed starters, and Durbin quietly had an excellent rookie season. He fills a huge positional need for Boston, so I like the move.

[Dylan @YouDownWithOBP]

@JeffPassan @JonHeyman The Pirates still need a third baseman, but the additions of O’Hearn, Mangum, Lowe, and now Ozuna give them a far more respectable lineup than in years past, with a noticeable boost in power. It could be a fun summer in Pittsburgh!

[Dylan @YouDownWithOBP]

@JonHeyman The Pirates are having a nice little offseason! Lowe, Mangum, O’Hearn, and now Ozuna give the Pirates a far more respectable lineup compared to years past.

I wrote about the Paul Goldschmidt signing and what his role will be for the Yankees this upcoming season. The article is linked in the comments below.

[Dylan @YouDownWithOBP]

@MLBNetwork He is an amazing talent, and I hope he puts it all together one day, but until he finds a way to make contact more consistently , he will continue to struggle offensively.

[Dylan @YouDownWithOBP]

@MLB I can’t even imagine how many bases Rickey would steal under these new modern rules designed to promote base stealing. Bigger bases and the pickoff limit would’ve made it almost impossible to throw him out.

I analyzed the Jordan Hicks trade, the White Sox’s outlook, and how he factors into the team’s plans for next season. Link is in the comments below.
