We're live with @jasoncollette.bsky.social right now!!!

Almost halfway through the season, 12 of the 15 teams in the American League have a negative run differential.

With Scott Jenstad jumping into a last-minute Wimbledon qualifier, @jasoncollette.bsky.social is going to join me in hosting the @rotowire.bsky.social MLB podcast tonight. Did we land Cooper Pratt or Tony Santillan? Is there a Cubs RP we trust? Join us, 10:30 ET: YT: www.youtube.com/live/YQyUXIf...

This is the most anyone has been disappointed in (a) Turkey since Dr. Johnny Fever in WKRP in Cincinnati.

I wrote about the league's salary cap proposal in today's newsletter. It was not a serious proposal, nor do I think it was intended to be. It was designed to set the groundwork for stories like that horseshit Sawchik wrote. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Coming up at 9:15p CT, the great @dvr.bsky.social from @theathletic.com joins me on the @rotowire.bsky.social MLB livestream! We'll discuss Colt Emerson, the Memorial Day week slate, and the wild closer environment among many topics - join us! www.youtube.com/live/0tyvBDI...

My big news: I've left The Athletic because they wanted me to stop covering the Twins. I refused to give up my dream, so I'm betting on myself and returning to my independent roots. I need your support to make it work. Join me and let's do this together: www.aarongleeman.com/welcome-to-t...

Jose Siri challenged strike 2 here. Even the Angels announcers said "... Siri may have to go to ABS detention ...." Impressively he still drew a walk.

I need to remember next time to fade a pitcher the start after he throws a no-hitter or a near no-hitter, especially if he extends his pitch count. Ginn tonight, Messick earlier this season. Unfortunately that wasn't actionable in the leagues where I had him, so we're basically talking Picks.

Also one of 14 relievers with a save on the 2024 Dodgers.

Marcus Semien with an awful ABS challenge: www.mlb.com/gameday/8227...

I seriously want the bases to be empty whenever Ke'Bryan Hayes is at the plate. That way he can't ground into yet another double play. It's uncanny how often he does it.

The Twins like the way Connor Prielipp is pitching. But they’re going to ask him to pitch less frequently to manage his innings this year. Derek Shelton: “Moving forward, I think any chance that we can give him a day or two, we’ll do that.” www.startribune.com/twins-to-pus...

Zebby Matthews is starting Thursday vs. Marlins, manager Derek Shelton confirmed.

So many blown saves tonight!!! Baker (and Brooks for extra measure for the Rays), Uribe, Latz, Sewald, King A lot of "right answers" were wrong ones tonight.

Really good depiction of what a big mess the Imai situation is right now.

Last week on the Tuesday @rotowire.bsky.social MLB podcast, Fred Zinkie and I discussed difficult keep vs. drop decisions with pitchers, this week we're tackling struggling hitters like Luis Robert Jr. and Trevor Story. Join us at 5p ET! www.youtube.com/live/K2Wbdic...

Name the player (bottom line is the 2026 MLB average):

Jesse Scholtens is going to get two extra earned runs because Junior Caminero forgot how many outs there are. Big ERA is a lie.

Nice to see Jac Caglianone get on the HR board. Maybe this will get him rolling - I saw him getting dropped in some leagues over the weekend.

Everyone aspires to avoid being a main character on social media, but do you aspire to pick up the Main Character in FAAB in a given week? My Week 3 FAAB Review on @rotowire.bsky.social : www.rotowire.com/baseball/art...

A few reactions to the #Yankees sitting Ben Rice tonight against lefty Yusei Kikuchi tonight: - Platoons are as old as baseball existed. This isn't "modern analytics." - Rice had a .752 OPS against LH's last year - not helpless. - Goldy was better still though - .981.

So the InsideEdge matchup score surprisingly suggested Senga and Soriano as I mentioned on today's RotoWire SXM show. Amazing. www.rotowire.com/daily/mlb/in...

Here's my AL Tout Wars Auction Review @rotowire.bsky.social www.rotowire.com/baseball/art... (outside of the paywall)

Brady Singer was pitching well and in the fourth inning with two outs vs the Rockies when the trainer had to go to the mound. Looked like something was wrong with one of Singer’s fingers. #reds

Yikes, what a horrible penalty by Salah. I suppose it was a "ball don't lie" sort of moment, though. Not sure that penalty call was solid.

Check out @jasoncollette.bsky.social's review at @rotowire.bsky.social. I'll have my review up soon too. Collette Calls: AL Tout Wars Review www.rotowire.com/baseball/art...

#reds news: Francona said that Burns, Lowder and Williamson all made the team. With not be a six man rotation but some sort of tandem situation among the three will be worked out on a short term basis. More to come. Also told they’re on the team were Phillips and Benson.

Terry Francona said the Reds will start the season with 6 starters — all three of Lowder, Burns, Williamson will break camp with the team

Mike Burrows has thrown 12.2 scoreless innings to open Grapefruit League play. He's struck out 15, walked six and surrendered six hits. Burrows threw 77 pitches tonight across four innings.

Could Junior Caminero lead baseball in RBI? Is Jake Burger being undervalued? Fred Zinkie and I tackle those players and more, looking at Steamer 600, spring stats and early ME results. Come join us at 4:00 ET on the @rotowire.bsky.social podcast! www.youtube.com/live/zfMJfhl...

Just said "Colt Griffin" instead of "Konnor Griffin" on-air. - Looks like it's going to be one of those days! - I'm hoping that's not a Freudian Slip! www.baseball-reference.com/register/pla...

Porter Hodge has a right flexor strain and will be shut down from throwing for a couple weeks. He felt elbow soreness after his last outing. He’ll be reevaluated in 2 weeks & will open on IL. Jordan Wicks has nerve irritation in arm/hand & wont get off mound until middle-late March. He’ll go on IL.

Andrew Abbott has been announced as the #reds Opening Day starter.

I was today years old when I realized that Didi Gregorius is still playing! Good for him, just homered for the Netherlands against Luis Severino.

Jeremy Peña has a fracture in the tip of his right ring finger, according to the Astros. He will be reevaluated in two weeks

#TGFBI draft thread! 1.8 Tarik Skubal - my first share of Skubal this year. He was the first pitcher taken in my draft (J-Rod went at 1.7). With one exception, 8th is the earliest I've drafted so far this season.

How can you use Average Exit Velocity (aEV) to identify power breakouts? I did a short video for @rotowire.bsky.social here. Hope you enjoy it! youtu.be/JNAMaUYWEp4?...
