Hunter Renfroe didn’t want 24 anymore. Andrew McCutchen did, since his boyhood idol, Ken Griffey Jr. wore it. Then, while McCutchen was telling us this, @MikeVassallo13 called Griffey. And Griffey answered. So McCutchen got to tell Griffey himself he’s now No. 24.

The Brewers offered Craig Counsell in the neighborhood of $5.5 million per season, which would have easily made him the highest-paid manager in MLB. Everyone expected the Mets to throw $7 million per season (or more) at Counsell. No one expected the Cubs to do so. Wow.
