Trades and free-agent signings have been on hold. Expect a flurry of swaps and signings.

“Take me out to the ball game,
take me out to the crowd,
buy me some peanuts . . .”

My dear dad would take me to Shea stadium and always bring peanuts in the shell. He would keep score on a score card. Anyone remember those? Thanks dad. A true American.

Diluting the playoffs. I don't like it. They are moving to join the NBA and the NHL.

There were some good hitting pitchers in the NL (Madison Bumgarner and Noah Syndergaard, just to name 2) but that’s canceled out now.

Did they include a pitch count? I heard no more stupid runner on 2nd base in extras.
