- The Nationals signed general manager Mike Rizzo to a two-year contract extensionon Thursday.

- Shohei Ohtani is living up to the winter hype and had an insane first week in the majors, to put it casually.
- Rougned Odor still hates the Blue Jays...a lot...and it’s actually not the worst thing in the world?
- The Athletics claimed outfielder Trayce Thompson off waivers.
- The Rockies signed 2017 NL batting champion Charlie Blackmon to a six-year, $108 million contract extension on Wednesday.
- Bryce Harper is finally older than all of the prospects, just incase you wanted to simultaneously feel young and like the crypt keeper.
- Jameson Taillon might be fulfilling his potential and is our new favorite underdog this season.
