Mound visits are 30 seconds long. Pete Walker had been on the mound for all of three seconds before Malachi Moore walked to the mound. He's supposed to do that with 10 seconds remaining. No matter what Walker said, Moore's intention was to throw him out.

Honestly, I'm fine with Matt Chapman being offered a qualifying offer. If he declines it, cool, the Jays get a fourth round pick. If he accepts it, they get a 3.5 fWAR third baseman with gold glove defence for less than $20 million. It would also give Orelvis Martinez &

I am once again asking the Blue Jays front office to trade for Fernando Tatís Jr. He'd be cheap because his contract is too expensive for the Padres, and no doubt he'd waive his no trade clause to come to Toronto, because the six isn't just some satellite town of LA.
