COMMENTARY
It sure feels like Rafael Devers has an ascendant season in store for us. And boy, is that fun to consider.
Across the game, this has not been the usual spring of abundant hope. Blame the lockout, blame the state of the world, but it’s just been lacking that usual panache.
We know mangled preseason schedules usually portend injuries, and Jacob deGrom and Lance Lynn are already shelved with significant ones.
Oakland has sold itself off for scrap, but at least they’ve got history of rebuilding with skill.
