I like it enough. Wonder if Fien ends up at 3B, hoping Rosario can join the ranks of Sykora, Susana, Clemmey at the top of our SP prospects. Ortiz seems like a bad body but good results 1B that should be ready now. Seen reports that the 5th prospect in the trade is a young, speedy OF (#16, Cabrera).
Longtime Rangers writer @evanpgrant.bsky.social vangrant.bsky.social with the Gore trade return: SS Evan Fien (Texas' No. 2 prospect), RHP Alejandro Rosario (No. 6), INF Devin Fitz-Gerald (No. 12), 1B Abimelec Ortiz (No. 18), plus one more prospect.

Full trade, per ESPN sources:
Rangers get: LHP MacKenzie Gore
Nationals get: 3B Gavin Fien, SS Devin Fitz-Gerald, RHP Alejandro Rosario, 1B Abimelec Ortiz and and OF Yeremy Cabrera
A big return for the Nationals. Fien was the 12th pick last year. Evaluators love Fitz-Gerald.

Does Paul Toboni think he can teach guys to throw strikes? Or is he just collecting guys with great stuff and hoping someone eventually figures it out?
Sandy Gaston was one of the highest profile IFA pitcher signings of the last decade but has never thrown strikes

Meh, it's not hard to carry an 8th reliever / swingman for eating innings in blowouts.
Jedixson Paez is an elite command guy who got hurt last year and is going to be hard to carry. Griff McGarry is an elite stuff guy who can't throw strikes and is going to be hard to carry.
Daniel Susac is a third catcher

Bob Carpenter was one of my biggest inspirations when I started my business, he calls a good game and he loves score keeping just as I do. He will be missed in the broadcast booth, but he’s left his mark on the game in a way I hope to one day ❤️

Enjoy your baseball team tomorrow. Even if they are terrible. Even if they make you mad and frustrated. The offseason is long and the world is full of horrors. Even very bad baseball is better than waiting for spring.

Ok Darwin, do your thing
This idiot is 80,000 times more likely to die in a car accident from not wearing a seat belt than to die from being carjacked.
Markwayne Mullin: "I'm not joking when I say this. I drive around Washington DC in my Jeep - yes, I drive myself - & I don't buckle up. The reason I don't buckle up - people can say whatever they want - is because of carjacking. I don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I need to exit in a hurry."

This is some absolutely dumb shit
As the US hits a 33-year high in measles infections, there is now a "race" to find a treatment for the disease.
One pharma company "is banking on a continuing decline in vaccination rates to fuel a need for measles treatments—and in turn, more investor interest"

The Race to Find a Measles Treatment as Infections Surge
The measles vaccine was so effective the disease was considered eliminated in the U.S., but a resurgence of outbreaks is spurring a need for drugs.

Cade Cavalli is through four scoreless on 74 pitches. He'd probably have ten fewer pitches to his name if not for a pair of Nationals throwing errors.
0-0, bottom 4.
