Everyone ready?
We’ve got a big Opening Weekend ahead of us, and it all starts tomorrow morning. I know I can’t wait. I’ve already got the Series Preview written up and scheduled to go later this evening (did that before lunch today in a futile effort to make the season start sooner), so keep an eye out for that. Because tomorrow, we’re off to the races.
In the meantime, some news from around the league …
BREAKING: Eovaldi is out for #Rays. Has loose bodies in elbow, arthroscopic surgery seems likely. Could return this year. Had looked very sharp this spring in return from 2nd Tommy John.

“I smelled it,” Andrew Toles said. “It was nasty. I’m not gonna tell you what it really was. That’s messed up. That’s a tragic thing.”

This is pretty incredible. @BluePointBrewer at @yankeestadium is printing players’ faces on beer this season (also coffee and some food). @TheJudge44, @ElGarySanchez, @Giancarlo818 and @AChapman_105 are loaded into the system already with more to come. #Yankees pic.twitter.com/FlybIy6bTj
