We talk Alex Verdugo getting a ball thrown at him and the fan being ejected and banned from all 30 stadiums, Nationals Park entering a frenzy following gunshots heard outside the stadium, the players, management, staff and security who should be commended for their response, why these things can’t be happening, Starling Marte entering the trade market following his rejection of an extension offer from the Marlins, Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor heading to the IL and the absolute debacle of a series the Mets had versus the Pirates (including Taijuan Walker’s mishap that lead to Luis Rojas’ ejection), Alex Reyes’ save record, Jazz Chisholm headed to the IL (and why his mint hair is a sign for us), Lance Lynn’s extension and what it means for next year’s White Sox rotation and much more. Enjoy!
