#Tigers fans, here's a fresh look at Charlie Morton's headspace as he pondered earlier failings and realized he was likely on the move: .

There might not be a better defensive alignment than Ramon Laureano, Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis in the #Padres outfield.

A few days back, in the wake of the Ryan McMahon trade, reliever Jake Bird told me, "It feels like it happens so often, you almost grow numb to it. Mac’s an awesome guy. It was great having him around." . Now they'll be teammates again with the #Yankees.

#Orioles have placed Zach Eflin on the IL with more lower back discomfort. So scratch him off the list of potential movers.

Charlie Morton was "philosophically conflicted" as he endured a grim beginning with the #Orioles. Now, he could be headed back to a winner at the #MLBTradeDeadline. But regret lingers it didn't happen in Baltimore. "That, for me, is sad." .

Schools with most players selected through 37 picks: .Tennessee: Four.Corona High School: Three.Arkansas: Two.Wake Forest: Two. Can a high school join the SEC? Makes you wonder.

As the #orioles draft Auburn's Ike Irish, Coastal Carolina's Caden Bodine and Arkansas' Wehiwa Aloy with their top three picks, Jackson Holliday remains the only high schooler picked in the first round/first 31 picks in the Mike Elias era.

#Rangers scouting department said, "Meet me in Temecula." Congrats to slugging infielder Gavin Fien, who went much higher than projected.

No wonder nobody showed up to the draft. This business is bonkers. Tyler Bremner was expected to go as high as No. 2 - in February or so. Congrats to the young Gaucho.

Saalfrank becomes the second player suspended one year for gambling on baseball to return to the majors, joining Sacramento's Michael Kelly. Tucupita Marcano remains permanently ineligible for a bet involving his own team.

Perhaps it was past time to move on. But it can always get worse, and probably will.

they went and did it .

If 2019 was the apex of the Three True Outcomes era, consider this the course correction: Strikeouts are down 6% since and a handful of soon-to-be All-Stars say they changed for the better by putting the ball in play.

Met Scott more than 30 years ago, when the LA Times San Diego edition closed and he went from covering the Padres to the Cal State Fullerton beat. He was a remarkable professional role model to this undergrad and the most loyal, humble, devoted dude you could meet. Rest easy.

The #Rockies have hit four home runs in this seventh inning and six on the night; a 3-1 game is now 9-1. Folks, hide your kids.
