Happy Hump Day, baseball fans!
Here’s a roundup of everything going on in the National League Central.
- 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 Nationals are considering an extension for Dusty Baker because there is finally some good in the world.
- Baltimore is considering Pedro Alvarez.
- This is the only Hall of Fame ballot that matters, so carry on.
- 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.
- Cincinnati signs Drew Storen because closers are totally in vogue now.
- The Giants are interested in Korean free agent Hwang Jae-gyun.
- 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.
