Jason Heyward Q&A: How he’s spoken with Theo Epstein about the possibility of buying an MLB franchise someday; why he signed with the Dodgers; what he told Dansby Swanson; and where he sees his brand-new baseball academy impacting Chicago’s West Side. https://t.co/e70MsRqBtH

Saw this on MLB transaction page:
February 3, 2023 Cincinnati Reds signed free agent CF Nick Plummer to a minor league contract.
Plummer had a brief fling with the Mets but it didn’t work out. Like Perez, the first-round pedigree still opens doors.
Carlos Beltrán is leaving the YES broadcast booth to join the Mets front office sources confirm to The Athletic.
The team he’s joining is very different than the one that signed him as a player and then as a manager.https://t.co/SVSA0RmwVV

I’ll always identify Piscotty with the ’15 NLDS vs. the Cubbies. He led all Cardinals in HR’s, RBI’s, hits and BA with 3, 6, 6 and .375 respectively in that 4 game NLDS loss.
Rafael Ortega and Matt Bowman are still out there trying…
LHP Nick Ramirez, LHP Lisandro Santos, LHP Tanner Tully, INF Jamie Westbrook, INF Jesús Bastidas, INF/OF Jake Bauers, RHP Matt Bowman, INF Andrés Chaparro, C Rodolfo Durán, C Carlos Narvaez and RHP Ryan Weber. (2/2)

And another new Dodger!
Dodgers in agreement with free-agent right-hander Shelby Miller, pending physical, sources tell @TheAthletic.

Miller’s last good season was literally 7 or 8 years ago. Its way beyond hoping and praying, I don’t know what it is. Maybe they will hire Carlos Martinez too.
Hard to fathom that Miller’s only 32. Seems like eons ago when he was a rookie pitcher with the Cardinals. It’s also surprising that he’s managed to keep his name bouncing around the Big Leagues for as long as he has. He oughta’ be on that survivor TV show.
Reyes’ contract with the Dodgers is how a contract for a risky player should be structured. Player gets an opportunity but the team gets a sweetheart deal ($3 million option) if the player succeeds.
Kind of surprised the Cards didn’t do an incentive laden deal with Reyes. But maybe all of the years of frustration was just too much and management did a “Gussie Busch” thing and finally said “get ‘im outta here.” Course Gussie would have added a few words I cannot print here.
He’s now 28, BikeMike, and hasn’t thrown a pitch in the Big Leagues since the fateful one he offered up that brought an end to the Cardinal ’21 season in LA. A season in which he featured an outstanding start and was voted an AS. I thought at the time I was watching that WC game that it was a bad mistake for Shildt to place the baseball in his hands as Reyes had struggled for much of the second half of that ’21 season and had been shut down for a while leading up to that WC game. I think it was undoubtedly the worse decision I’d seen the former Cardinal field manager make in the time he managed the team and may have had more to do with his firing than what was ever mentioned. Turns out, that decision and pitch may have been the undoing of both Shildt and Reyes insofar as being a part of the Redbird organization. At any rate, it wouldn’t surprise me too much if Reyes realizes some success with the Dodgers. We’ll see.
