Cubs are still in on Dexter Fowler. I wonder if this means a platoon in LF with Schwarber or a Soler trade.

Caribbean World Series coming up, but also we have the WBC qualifying tourneys coming too!!
There's a home run derby part of that, right? I saw some NPB guys were in that. If you have stream links, post em!
Fighters left for Arizona today. My favorite baseball team is closer than they'll ever be but it still might as well be a world away, I can't go. ;_;

They want those Jays ratings.
Also, apparently Ramone from Studio San Diego said that the Jays' dirt infield will make it in this year. Haven't seen the exact quote yet but hoping this will be true.
Their twitch and blog info rollout.

But why hold back your prospects for Fowler? Unless they don't believe in Soler? Just such a strange player for the Cubs to be chasing given its roster?

They want those Jays ratings, but at the end of the day, they still will throw so much more money towards Mike Babcock farting.

Sign and trade. Nobody is willing to touch him because of the draft pick, same with Kendricks and Yovani (Desmond I'm convinced just isn't getting the market he wanted). If the sign Fowler he's there for a week, max.
not surprised there aren't a lot of white sox players on there... was surprised there was only 1 though as I figured Carson Fulmer would be on the list too but I didn't see him.
The full list of spring training jerseys is here and a lot of them are really good. White Sox and Twins win for me. Don't care for the Rays', but it's different. Don't like Atlanta's either.

Tigers are pretty sleek, too, like the simplicity.

Slideshow gets it right... no name on the back of the A's jersey. Smart.

Meh.
How long until they just put the number 6 on the spring training cap.
I was never a huge fan of the T on its own either. They could do a play on T.O. I guess.

I think that they should make it spring training visors rather than hats

Good lineup but they're going to be bad defensively.

Giants NRI list for spring training:
Someone will end up having a surprise breakout year and help propel SF to even year title shenanigans.
Maybe it'll be Ricky Romero who helps SF sweep Toronto in the World Series.

That Brewer spring training lid is fantastic. Also really like the cleanliness of the Toronto one. Royals is also super sharp.

Honestly do not get the trade at all for the Rockies, curious as to what minor leaguers are in the deal. Rays kind of have a logjam of mediocre OFs but it shouldn't be that hard to move Jennings. Dickerson is marginally better than what we got but hes pretty much just a platoon guy too (he pairs up nicely with Souza if thats the route they're going). But hey 4 years of team control versus 2 years of costly arbitration.

Are they really? They haven't made any blockbuster moves but they've actually spent a fair bit of money this offseason - signed Parra, Motte, Qualls, Reynolds and traded for McGee. Their payroll is going to be over $100 million this season.
IDK, it looks like they just signed those players just to trade them midseason cause they're not game changers. They haven't won much in years and play in a division with 3 potential playoff contenders, it be smart of them to just stockpile prospects.

Still better than last year. The middle infield is a vast improvement.
