Good morning baseball fans!
Here is a roundup of everything going around in the National League Central.
- Red Sox fans, don’t panic. The David Price news is not the worst thing in the world.
- The Yankees are currently taking offers for Rob Refsnyder, because I guess they wanna get a jump on liquidating the team.
- Rougned Odor and the Rangers haven’t gained much ground on an extension.
- Lorenzo Cain, an impending free agent, is open to an extension with the Royals.
- Is 2017 really going to be the year of the Houston Astros or is that just what we’re saying about the 29 teams as well?
- There are no current talks between Eric Hosmer and the Royals, so we’re feeling a little nervous over here.
- ICYMI: Mets prospect Luis Guillorme is probably a ninja in disguise.
- EVERYONE TO THEIR BATTLE STATIONS! There might actually be some progress on this whole pace of play mess.
- Jose Abreu’s story is much more than a quirky tweet about him eating a passport.
- Royals outfielder Brandon Moss has been plagued by back stiffness, according to Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star.
- THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC IS HERE!
