Sad news to pass along. Veteran baseball scribe Nick Cafardo passed away in Florida today. He was 62. Cafardo’s weekly Sunday Notes column in the Boston Globe was a must read — we’ve cited his work here at RAB countless times over the years — and he was very kind to me the handful of times we interacted. He’ll be missed. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
Here are today’s Spring Training notes:
- We have our first starting pitchers of the year: Nestor Cortes will start Saturday’s spring opener and Jonathan Loaisiga will start Sunday.
