Last Wednesday wrapped up the 2018 MLB Draft with a nice little bow. Miss out on something and need to catch up? Check out all of our draft coverage right here.
Our most recent FanPost Friday wants to know: How did your team do on draft day?
- A recent report quoted an unnamed NL exec saying some not nice things about Bryce Harper. It was over the top and not correct, but we examined why it may be true that we are all overvaluing Harper as he is about to hit free agency.
- Miguel Sano, an All-Star just a year ago, is being sent to the low minors to try and work things out.
- The Giants can’t seem to catch a break lately as they have lost Evan Longoria for a while as as hand injury after a HBP is sending him to the disabled list.
- The Mets are having a really rough go of it this season after a hot start and recent reports show they may become sellers on the trade market. Stephen examines why the team should strongly consider trading their ace, Jacob deGrom.
- Speaking of the Mets, they are still going to be waiting awhile for Noah Syndergaard to return to action. After a second opinion confirmed his strained ligament in right index finger, the flamethrower still has no timetable for a return and will remain out of action until he is ”symptom-free.”
- Future Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera needs surgery to repair a ruptured biceps tendon and will miss the rest of the 2018 season. Though it’s unfortunate news when any player suffers a season-ending injury, this is especially discouraging for the 35-year-old Cabrera, who looked to be bouncing back after a rough 2017 campaign, posting a .301/.394/.451 slash line over 155 plate appearances this year.
- The Nationals are starting to get fully healthy, as Daniel Murphy has returned after spending the whole season up until now on the disabled list.
- Cabrera wasn’t the only superstar of the last decade to get unfortunate news this week; the Mets released five-time All-Star Adrian Gonzalez after Sunday night’s game and have promoted Dominic Smith to fill the void at first base..
- We are still awaiting news on a lot of first round picks signing with their new teams from the 2018 draft. Here’s how to follow every first round pick on social media.
- Shohei Ohtani has been placed on the disabled list with a UCL sprain, and while it’s unclear whether he’ll need Tommy John, the club is expected to make a full decision in the upcoming weeks.
