Also interesting is JE Dunn and the Dunn family in the ownership group. The area near their HQ in the East Village has been suggested as a potential downtown ballpark site.

I wonder if Moore will be holding a Bible study with Matheny at a local church next week while the other GMs are wheeling and dealing. [Reply]

I doubt the Royals will be doing jack shit honestly...
The Padres are making moves for 2 reasons, 1 they have so many prospects they can't keep all of them because there is no space. Moving Urias and replacing him with Profar is simple...Profar came through the Rangers organization when Preller was there as an assistant but mainly it's because they are just wanting a decent productive bat there until CJ Abrams is ready. Also if the Padres don't show massive improvement this year Preller is toast, they basically either need to make the playoffs are barely miss and show massive improvement or some other GM is going to reap the rewards of that system.

A lot of commenters pointed out that the Brewers were strategic with how they used the shift and were able to roll with Moose much better at that position than they would have been had they used a conventional defense all year. [Reply]
