Under Armour will be the official uniform provider starting in 2020. Big for UA, not sure if they will try and make changes like
Nike did with NFL.

Hmmm...interesting.

Is UA still growing? Seems like they have spiked but maybe not.

Interesting. I wonder if they will also get the contract for what they wear under their uniforms. I know in the past majestic wasnt real pleased with the nike line that had the swoosh right at their neckline as it almost appeared that the uniforms were nike as well.

I am not a fan of some of the changes nike did with the NFL. Some of the teams, Saints, Ravens and others on their jerseys look like they have a collar with that contrasting in color.

Nationals may be letting Harper walk after his deal as reports are he may be asking for nearly 400million?

Reds have Hamilton on the trade block as well. Look for Chapman to go to the highest bidder.

Giants bullpen was a hot mess last year and it looks to be the same this year.


Cubs trying to work a trade for Wade Davis and the Yankees have made an offer for Aroldis Chapman.

The Hot Stove is heating up.

For the price of one young slugger, they potentially won't skip a beat despite losing Chapman. Damn.

Ok so no one is perplexed that Bruce Bochy is all of a sudden 6'9?

That caught my eye also. I already new he had the biggest head in baseball with 8 1/4 cap size. According to baseball reference height listings:

Bruce Bochy 6'3"
Brian Price 6'2"
Dusty Baker 6'2"

Must be some kind of deceptive camera angle -- looks like Price is 6-7" shorter than Bochy and Baker 3-4" shorter than Price.

Derek Holland signs a one year 6.5 million deal with the White Sox. I report this because Derek is a local boy from Newark, Ohio.

My impression, too. I'd heard Pittsburgh had interest in him, but personally was very lukewarm on that, as he really doesn't seem to be much of an upgrade over Pittsburgh's "maybe ready or maybe not" group of potential mid-to-back of the rotation guys like Brault and Kuhl.
