Mookie Betts Dealing with Injury, but Lineup Keeps Rolling
CONFIRMEDMookie Betts is banged up, but the lineup isn’t slowing down one bit. Jack Harris over at the New York Post is reporting that our offense keeps producing even without Mookie at full strength. That’s the depth we built for. No word yet on how serious the injury is, but we’re clearly built to handle some bumps along the way.

Report: Padres Were Willing to Trade for Shohei Ohtani
RUMORThis is a wild one. Ken Rosenthal over at MSN is reporting that the Padres were actually willing to make a trade for our guy Shohei Ohtani. Let that sink in. San Diego thought they could pry Ohtani away from us. Obviously it didn’t happen, but the fact that they even explored it tells you everything about how desperate the Friars are to close the gap.
