Good morning, baseball fans!
Here’s a roundup of what’s going on around the National League West.
- Need a good resolution for 2017? Maybe borrow one from your favorite Major League Baseball team (like that whole not cheating thing).
- Let’s get excited about the year Oakland is going to (hopefully) have!
- The Rangers are having casual extension talks with Yu Darvish and Jonathan Lucroy, casually.
- Baltimore is considering Pedro Alvarez.
- Jose Bautista is in active discussions with the Blue Jays, so Toronto fans rejoice.
- The 2016-2017 offseason hasn’t been the most exciting one we’ve seen. Here’s whose winning, whose losing, and those burning questions that no one can seem to answer.
- Can someone just make a decision on Brian Dozier please.
- Are the Braves heading for another rebuild?
- If your favorite team is looking for a catcher, feel free to direct them to this Target bargain bin of guys who can kinda sorta play behind the plate.

Today in baseball: On January 3rd, 2013, the Indians announce the team has signed free-agent Nick Swisher to a four-year deal. Sometimes I cry when I remember he’s no longer a Yankee, but that’s a different therapy session.
