Teams should be backing the Brink's truck up if they have an opportunity to trade for Mason Miller.

"They take out the eyewash, and the most important thing is 6:40 every night." Gavin Sheets loves the simplicity of how the Padres prepare their players every night.

Tyler Glasnow wants to see the All-Star break last an entire week.

It’s been roughly 21 months since Craig Breslow worked for the Cubs, but his five seasons in Chicago under Jed Hoyer were formative years for him as a front-office executive and helped shape what he's done in Boston. nytimes.com/athletic/65055…

Very interesting story from @EvanDrellich…

David Robertson’s deal is official, and he’s been optioned to Lehigh Valley.

Don't miss a brand new episode of Fair Territory with @Ken_Rosenthal LIVE on the Foul Territory YouTube channel at 10:00 ET!

Robertson, once he signs, will need a ramp-up period. While he impressed in a bullpen session Saturday, he hasn’t pitched in a game since Sept. 29, 2024. Robertson would have to consent to an optional assignment to minor leagues. nytimes.com/athletic/65054…

Per @MattGelb, total cost of Robertson to PHI will be ~$12M, including 110% tax they must pay on every dollar for being over fourth luxury-tax threshold. Robertson getting ~$5.5M on pro-rated one-year, $16M deal. First on money: @Feinsand. Story: nytimes.com/athletic/65054…

For the third time, the Phillies are acquiring David Robertson. The 40-year-old is signing a big-league deal. He threw Saturday for scouts.
