Source : Houston Astros have engaged in trade discussions for JT Realmuto. OF Kyle Tucker is the ask by Miami. Astros are considering. 50% chance Realmuto is dealt before opening day.

 

Because of course the Astros would also get a Top 5 Catcher on the cheap.

What's the record?

 

The 1927 Yankees, of course. 49.3 WAR by their offense.

 

Best pitching staff of all time?

 

The 2017 Indians actually. 31.7 WAR, and a healthy about higher than #2 team, the 1996 Braves at 29.5.

 

The 1971 White Sox actually rank 11th all time, and somehow the 2011 White Sox rank #26 all time. Buehrle, Floyd, Humber, Danks all had 3+ WAR. Even Peavy/Edwin Jackson combined for 5.8 WAR. Sox almost had 6 starters with 3+ WAR (Edwin had 2.8). And also 3 relievers with 1+ (Thornton, Santos, Sale, with Crain at 0.9). What a pitching staff, jesus.

Red Sox will give Blake Swihart a shot at 2nd base in training camp w Pedroia still recovering from surgery.Maybe this is a guy who will turn up on waivers this spring or could be had in a swap of 2nd tier prospects. His value is low but he is out of options. He looks to be a "bust" but maybe a change of scenery and a move back to the position he wants to play could be a cheap gamble.

Two-time National League Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum took an important step on his Major League Baseball comeback trail Thursday by throwing in front of scouts.

 

Per FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman, Lincecum was averaging 90-93 mph with his pitches during the workout.

 

Heyman added there were between 25-30 scouts in attendance from at least 15 teams.

 

 

Lincecum's velocity was a vast improvement over where he was at in 2016 when he last pitched in the big leagues. The 33-year-old averaged 87.7 miles per hour with his fastball for the Los Angeles Angels, per FanGraphs.
