Former big league reliever Mark Littell has passed away at age 69 years. The right-hander split his MLB career between the Royals and Cardinals. Littell was reliever from 1976-1982 and notched a 20.5% strikeout rate, which was well above the league average at the time.

Max Scherzer, of the New York Mets, has #MLB's highest annual salary, at $43.333 million.

The Oakland A's entire luxury tax payroll is just $64.8 million.

(2/2) A May 2 game against the Rays drew only 2,488 fans, the lowest mark this season across the majors and the smallest number for the A’s in over 40 years.

[Kennedy's Commentary @RedSoxSite]

The A’s are last in #MLB in attendance, averaging only 8,400 fans per game in a stadium that can hold nearly 57,000. In 2019, the year before the pandemic, they averaged 20,521. (1/2)

“I think we actually did it the right way.” - Brian Cashman

This quote might not age well when MLB's report on the Yankees’ sign stealing is soon revealed publicly.
