MLB in brief: The Giants at the heart of the Yoshinobu Yamamoto case | The Angels succeeded

The Giants at the heart of the Yoshinobu Yamamoto case

Currently, the club would be ahead of other teams in negotiations with the pitcher.

I'm hearing an awful lot of buzz on the Giants and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Some other teams in the hunt for him think the Giants might have an edge.

The André Dawson case continues to be talked about

His choice of cap at the Temple is still relevant today.

Domingo German in the Blue Jays’ sights?

The Red Sox and Astros would also be there. I have a hard time believing it.

The Angels succeeded

The wave of waivers last August worked: the club will not pay the luxury tax in 2023.

Jung-Hoo Lee to the Mets?

It can be, yes.

Byron Buxton in center field in 2024?

He should be healthy enough for that.
