Around the league...
- Mike Petriello looks into what may be holding up a deal for top free agent pitcher Jack Flaherty.
- The Orioles ownership is chiming in with a yes vote for salary caps.
- The Red Sox remain a potential landing spot for free agent Alex Bregman, but the two parties have been unable to agree on the number of years on his potential contract. Bregman previously declined a six-year offer from the Astros, and the Red Sox reportedly aren’t willing to offer more than four.
Meanwhile, the Astros remain positive about a reunion with the All Star third baseman.
- The Colorado Rockies announced that Charlie Blackmon will be joining their front office as a Special Assistant to the General Manager, and “Chuck Nazty” shared his thoughts on his new role.
- That’s the wrong side of the pond, innit?
