Welcome back to Nine Innings, SI’s weekly look at what’s fun, cool and somewhat stupid around the league. Today’s topics include: The cold calculus of buying or selling, Danny Jansen sacrificing his ‘stache, Ned Yost’s Apollo 11 appreciation, and much more.
If you have any feedback, questions or angry rants to send my way, please don’t hesitate to hit me up via email (jon.tayler@simail.com) or Twitter.
If you’re a Diamondbacks fan, you probably came into this week feeling good about your team. Entering play Tuesday, Arizona sits at 51–50 with two thirds of the season in the books.
