Shota Imanaga was finally signed by an MLB team yesterday, and it was a team that had not previously been active. Specifically, it was the Chicago Cubs, and they gave him what seems to be a fairly complicated contract.
Rachel Balkovec is leaving the Yankees to join the Marlins, where she’ll be the director of player development. She’ll now be even easier to root for. I think I watched an interview last season where she said she wanted to be a GM eventually, and this is a definite step in that direction. Previously, she was the manager of the Tampa Tarpons.
