From Toronto's GM:

"The Toronto Blue Jays aren't planning on standing pat this offseason."

Will the Pirates stand pat this offseason?

Who cares?

If the World Ssries isn't anything special, then the regular season sure as hell isn't, either! @@@@#@

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Good! Seems like the development of pitching prospects has been a problem.

I mean this as a compliment. By this, it appears that Ben did not like what he saw. I'm sure he wouldn't have made such a move had he not have replacements in mind.

I know better than to expect significant changes with the MLB roster, but this is something; especially considering that most moves are made after the nothing special WS concludes.

First, funny the Sox will be going after small market arms instead of bigger named ones.

Second, did I read Musgrove for Benintendi? Done. I know AB had a bad year in 2020 ... hurt most of it, but I'd do that one quickly.

The Nationals sign Josh Harrison for a 1. What say you Greenweenie and Wildwood Dave?

The current standings are:

Astros - Gurriel(3).....................................................................3

Marlins - Marte(3)......................................................................3

Nationals - Harrison(1)...............................................................1

Meantime, Cherington just sits there like a bump on a log.

I'll go along with that 1 for Josh.
