"I'd like to think some of y'all feel like you've gotten to know me over the years through what I reveal in my writing, and that's by design. This place has never been about merely breaking down data or reporting news and rumors; it's about sharing information within the context of our shared fandom. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to unburden myself from time to time."
"After trading Brandon Nimmo for Marcus Semien earlier in the month, the Mets continued their roster restructure by sending the versatile Jeff McNeil to the A's. McNeil, who underwent a thoracic outlet procedure at the end of the season, is expected to be ready for the 2026 season and will probably play either second or third. I'm skeptical of his ability to bounce back so quickly from anything TOS related, but playing second means he won't need full arm strength."
"The White Sox kept adding on Tuesday, signing lefty Sean Newcomb to a one-year, $4.5 million deal. Cubs fans may remember Newcomb posting a 9.13 ERA on the North Side over 17 appearances in 2022, since which he's had a hard time sticking at the MLB level. The 32-year-old figured something out last season after serving as an injury replacement in Boston's rotation, eventually finishing the season with the A's and posting a 2.73 ERA over 48 total appearances."

Sharing personal details over time builds familiarity and fosters a sense of shared fandom. The Mets continued roster restructuring, trading Jeff McNeil to the A's after sending Brandon Nimmo for Marcus Semien earlier in the month.
