Opening with one of the best “wait for it” videos I’ve ever seen. Whether you were able to see some of this event locally (I wasn’t this time around), it’s, uh, pretty incredible to see a different perspective:

An outfield signing in an otherwise sleepy position player market: Cedric Mullins to the Rays on a one-year, $7 million deal. I kinda can’t believe he got that much. Mullins, 31, was a breakout star for the Orioles in 2021, and then was still pretty good in 2022. But in the three years since, he’s hit just .228/.303/.404/99 wRC+, with negative defensive value, and 5.3 WAR total (i.e., a below-average starter overall for three years running). And then this past season, in center field, Mullins cratered to -14 DRS. I suppose $7 million isn’t a ton to pay if you believe he can be a solid 4th outfielder, but the Rays typically aren’t the type of club to pay for that level of luxury. I expect he’ll make a whole lot of starts, and I guess the Rays are hoping they can help him bounce back. Consider it a reminder that it’s a bad year to need an outfielder. Glad the Cubs don’t. As far as the starting pitcher market goes, the Yankees are a weird one. A bit hard to determine how aggressive they’ll be. On the one hand, to open the season, they have only four primary starting pitchers (Max Fried, Luis Gil, Cam Schlittler, and Will Warren). But on the other hand, they have three SIGNIFICANT guys returning throughout the year – Carlos Rodon in May-ish, Gerrit Cole in June-ish, and Clarke Schmidt in August-ish. Surely they’ll add someone, but do you go REALLY big on a Tatsuya Imai, and just accept the possibility that you’ll have seven or eight true and good starting pitchers come midseason? Injuries do happen, and underperformances happen, and the Yankees have a massive payroll. But is that the best use of resources? Obviously this matters for competition for the Cubs. Generally, it’s a good year to need a starting pitcher. Would be glad if the Cubs had even less high-dollar competition than usual. The Colorado Rockies brought in a new baseball president in Paul DePodesta who has been out of baseball for a decade, and have now hired a new GM in Josh Byrnes who hasn’t held a position at that level in over a decade. That isn’t to say either is a bad or inappropriate move, but they aren’t yet beating the allegations that they’re just the weirdest organization in baseball. To that end, this read from Yahoo on how the Rockies organization got to be the single most backwards organization in baseball is unbelievably interesting. And shocking. And yet somehow also unsurprising? There’s no singular anecdote that sums it up – it’s really worth reading the whole thing – but this one certainly stood out:‘Others described an atmosphere outright opposed to modern technologies that have become commonplace around professional baseball. Two separate sources recounted a story from the beginning of the 2024 season, when the team prohibited players at multiple levels from throwing bullpens in front of trackman units, mobile devices that capture and display pitch data in real time.
“I remember somebody more or less tricked an intern into giving us a TruMedia password,” a former Rockies minor-league player recounted, referencing the data analytics platform used by a majority of MLB clubs. “And it was just, like, one TruMedia password spread across a pretty good chunk of the org’s players so that they could see game data.”’
Players had to TRICK the organization into giving them data access? And not a long time ago, but recently?! Also, given how abysmal things have been for so long, you’d think the Rockies would have a lot of turnover in baseball operations. Nope: Yahoo’s article notes that, among the nine members of the front office who held director-level positions or higher coming into 2025, the AVERAGE tenure with the org was 26(!!!!!!) years. I think commitment and institutional knowledge are great in a lot of ways, but good gravy. No wonder the org is so insular and weird and backwards. Maybe it changes now with DePodesta and Byrnes, but that’s a lot of build-up to tear down. Fun fact about this clip, it is BECAUSE Byrnes acquired Yonder Alonso that the Cubs were then able to acquire Anthony Rizzo:"He knows talent, he knows how to win."@YonderalonsoU, who Josh Byrnes acquired with the Padres, reacts to the Rockies announcing him as their newest GM. #MLBTonight pic.twitter.com/PWD3Lk7K9U
