Cool move by the Dodgers, and hopefully teams can start taking care of guys like this. Whatever happened to Khalil Greene?

I can't imagine struggling with mental health on a national stage.

Either I missed that Jonah Keri was convicted of beating his wife or it slipped down the memory hole. Wasn’t a big follower, but man.

Fangraphs has revised how it calculates fielding WAR. Worth noting that DeJong is one of the players who gets downgraded the most by these revisions:

Regardless, WAR should never be treated as precise specifically for this reason, and it probably has cost some players like Nick Ahmed a lot in salary.

Baseball Savant has added this and a neat xHR stat for expected home runs.

Good to know I'm not crazy. I've always thought that Gio takes forever.

I'm sure this is trivia that's come up before, but was playing The Show the other day and it hadn't hit me before that the Angels have had a Salmon and a Trout, both of them longtime players and (so far) exclusively Angels.
