Later this year when the Yankees and Red Sox play a series in London, both teams will be wearing their home uniforms because MLB wants the pinstripes on display. This should be interesting

Bochy to retire at the end of the season.

Following the Orioles' switch to a simpler logo, the Royals have announced the same. New primary logo removes the "Royals" script and any black outline/shadow

Heard pitch clock for '19 regular season is not certainty. MLB wants to see how it works in spring, plus continue to not want to implement over objections of players. Hope is talks with players are productive and all agree to do this year or firm plan to install in future

h/t to jersey for introducing me to this Chart Party series.

Jeff Francoeur: From the most valuable rookie ever* to the least valuable hitter ever. Cameo by our 'ol friend The General.

(*- based on first 100 PA's, so Rhys wouldn't eclipse him if this 2016 piece were to be updated)

That was really entertaining
