MLB in brief: Jorge Lopez is back in Baltimore | Blake Snell is on fire

Jorge Lopez is back in Baltimore

Last year, he had been fabulous with the Orioles.

Blake Snell is on fire

He pitches like a guy who wants to win the Cy Young.

Kodai Senga is also very good.

Caution with Edwin Diaz

The Mets don’t want to push too hard.

A wild MVP race to watch

Ronald Acuna Jr. vs. Mookie Betts: This is candy.

Acuna Jr. just got handed his 60th stolen base by Freddie Freeman.

Hard blow for the Nationals

Johnny DiPuglia has left the club. He was an excellent director of international recruitment.

The best free agent just hit the open market when brilliant talent evaluator Johnny DiPuglia resigned from the Washington #nats as their VP and international scouting director. It’s a massive blow to the organization, who has yet to re-sign GM Mike Rizzo. We it, @dougherty_jesse
