I spoke with several members of the Nationals’ young core - CJ Abrams, Lane Thomas, and Keibert Ruiz - about turning a corner in the club’s rebuild, including the imminent arrivals of elite prospects Dylan Crews and James Wood.

It would be wild if Ohtani’s camp used Morosi and Hoornstra as pawns to create that Friday frenzy for the Blue Jays that made the nervous Dodgers cough up $700M.
Not sure how Toronto fans feel being played, if true, after there was supposed to be “no leaks.”
So putting all the Ohtani pieces together it looks like ...
- Ohtani hoped to land with the Dodgers (it was reported early he knew where he wanted to go), gave them chance for final offer
- Agent likely initially wasn't getting the $$ he wanted
- Someone (Ohtani's camp?)…

Bo, Teo, Pearson, and maybe another prospect.
Espinal slides to SS, Biggio to 2B. Outfield consists of Gurriel, Springer, and Soto with Tapia remaining as the 4th OF.
Springer, Soto, Vlad, Kirk, Gurriel, and Chapman are your 1-6 in the lineup.

Imagine the Blue Jays played more than 36 games in Toronto. The best team in the division isn’t going to the playoffs and you couldn’t convince me otherwise. Bring this club back next year and they could win the World Series.

People having been selling the Raps short for the past four years despite four straight 50-plus win seasons. Team won 58 games with Kawhi playing in 60 and Klow in 65. I see them winning 50 again if everybody is healthy. Full season of Gasol and Pascal's emergence are big.

If the potential deal between

Sleepy thoughts:
- Kawhi is the MAN and he will forever be a Raptor for what he did.
- I hope every clown “insider” gets all the shit they deserve.
- Raps will be fine. Pascal as a No. 1 is intriguing and Masai’s appetite for winning can’t be stopped.
- Suck it Lakers fans!!

This feels like a VERY good deal based on all the crazy money flying around.
Also, this is another lesson for fans and media freaking out to chill the fuck out until an entire offseason is complete. Atkins and Shapiro are smarter than you.
