I saw game 2 of the 2014 ALDS in Anaheim and remember Gore stealing 2nd. We were above first base, upper deck.
I've never seen a human being run that fast in my life. And he hit 2nd base so hard I thought that either his leg, the base, or both, would literally explode. |

Gore was re-signed to a minor league deal.
Shohei Otani cuts are starting to come out. Boston, New York, ChiSox, Tampa, Arizona, Minnesota all notably eliminated (Twins and Yanks had the biggest bonus pools). Several other teams also reportedly eliminated. Royals are one of 15 or so to make the cut. He's said to be looking for a small market team, preferably on the West Coast. Think that pretty much has to mean Seattle. But hey. It's cool. This is like when a non-blue blood college football makes the initial cut to 20 teams for the top player in the country.

Eric Hosmer hit .318 with 25 homers and won his fourth Gold Glove. His agent, Scott Boras, has been casting Hosmer as a human ticket into the postseason because of Hosmer’s leadership and history of success with the Royals.
But as with Cozart, there appear to be very few potential bidders because so many big-market teams look set at first base: Yankees: Greg Bird Phillies: Rhys Hoskins Nationals: Ryan Zimmerman Dodgers: Cody Bellinger Diamondbacks: Paul Goldschmidt Orioles: Chris Davis Cubs: Anthony Rizzo Astros: Yuli Gurriel Braves: Freddie Freeman Jays: Justin Smoak The Giants might prefer an upgrade on Brandon Belt, but he’s early in a long-term contract, and San Francisco is focused on Giancarlo Stanton for the moment. The Mets are looking for a short-term investment at first. The Red Sox need a first baseman and are talking with the White Sox about Jose Abreu, plus they might simply be scared off by Hosmer’s high price tag. “If the Red Sox aren’t in on Hosmer,” a longtime agent said, “he could be in a tough spot. He needs the Red Sox almost as much as the Red Sox could use him.” Hosmer has been linked to the Padres as well, and San Diego has payroll flexibility, but the Padres also have a first baseman, Wil Myers, under a long-term contract. What's more, the list of free-agent first basemen who will be less expensive than Hosmer is long: Carlos Santana, Yonder Alonso, Lucas Duda, Adam Lind, Mitch Moreland, Logan Morrison, Mark Reynolds and Mike Napoli. http://www.espn.com/blog/buster-olne...ith-contenders Forgot Texas. Also, NYY doesn't want Greg Bird at 1B anyway |

@Ken_Rosenthal: Free-agent left-hander Mike Minor in agreement with #Rangers, sources tell The Athletic. Terms not known. Performance as reliever last season, background as starter gives Texas options.

@JeffPassan: Mike Minor has a multiyear deal with the Rangers and is expected to start, as sources confirm @Ken_Rosenthal report. And this may be the signing that breaks the free agent dam. There’s a lot of movement in the pitching market happening now, and it may start to move quickly here.

I just can't see Minor's shoulder holding up to a starting workload any longer. He could never get built up consistently to 100 pitches in multiple outings in a row at Omaha in 16. But good on him.

Little bit of action on the Royals front this morning. Nice to see Dayton trying to snag some of that Braves talent they had to forfeit. Guess this takes us out of the Ohtani sweepstakes though |

@JesseSanchezMLB: Rosario had multiple offers and turned down more money to sign with KC. The reason? His baseball idol was Yordano Ventura and he wants to pitch in the same organization where his hero once pitched.

Chills. Imagine how many kids in LA watched YV just absolutely dominate the 2014 WS AND 2015 ALCS. Pretty amazing to see his legacy live on in this way.
