Vlad Guerrero, Jr. is a great player looking for a great contract, as he should. But the Blue Jays seem a bit leery of meeting his demands, and I think it might have something to do with Orlando Cepeda. @ibwaa.bsky.social
Then & Now: Cepeda vs. Vladdy Jr.
This past Tuesday was the deadline Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. set to have a new contract worked out with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Ty Cobb & Joe Jackson you know about. But #Reds HOFer Sam Crawford is largely forgotten. That's why I wrote about him!

Some #Royals are bound to improve this season. Some aren't. Here are takes on 5 #KC players. #MLB @ibwaa.bsky.social #BobbyWittJr
3 KC Royals who will be better in 2025, 2 who will be worse
The Royals are closing in on a brand new season. After such a successful 2024 campaign, who will be better, and who won't, in 2025?

We’re buried in a foot of snow, grappling with colds, and trying to sell my mom’s house, so things got a bit hectic around here in the last few days. But not too hectic to remember my late Aunt Mary, and the time she took me to my first ballgame. @ibwaa.bsky.social
