Speaking of the Pirates: Mitch Keller was in good shape today.

A new role for Michael Lorenzen?

He could go to the bullpen a few weeks after his no-hit, no-run game. Its performances have been less up to par since then.

An incomparable desire to win

Deion Sanders loved Really earn.

“I never had a player in any clubhouse that cared more about winning and his teammates than Deion,” said Bowden, now a columnist at The Athletic. “He did more to help other players both on and off the field more than anyone else I’d never had.” https://t.co/XLTCu3bjnN

Edwin Diaz continues to throw

He is placing his pawns for 2024.

Respect for Chaim Bloom

Journalists on the beat in Boston are of the opinion that he was always polite.

On a personal level, Chaim Bloom was respectful of the job the media had. He was probably the most accessible of the four baseball ops leaders in my 22 years covering the Sox. In a position that can allow people to get thin skinned, I didn’t sense Bloom ever got that way.
