The Orioles announced Wednesday that they’ve acquired lefty Darwinzon Hernandez from the Red Sox in exchange for cash. First baseman Lewin Diaz was designated for assignment yet again in order to create a spot on the 40-man roster.


Diaz has been DFA'd five times this offseason. Twice by the Orioles.

Wait what? But why? Are they planning on trading him?

The one year part was confusing to me too.


ETA: I think most expected him to be a RP, but Oakland says he will be a SP. No clue if that has anything to do with it though.

The Padres and Nelson Cruz have agreed on a 1-year, $1 million deal, source confirms. They have been pursuing Cruz for years, and now, at 42, he'll reunite with former teammates and good friends Juan Soto and Manny Machado, locking down most of the DH time.

Marlins trade SS Miguel Rojas to Dodgers for minor league SS Jacob Amaya

This trade works for both teams. The two players are virtual clones of one another, but Rojas is already a big leaguer while Amaya is a year or so away

The electronic strike zone will be used in all 30 Class AAA parks in 2023, sources told ESPN, seemingly another significant step toward the implementation of the technology at the big league level in the near future.

The Automatic Balls and Strikes system, commonly referred to as ABS, will be deployed in two different ways. Half of the Class AAA games will be played with all of the calls determined by an electronic strike zone, and the other half will be played with an ABS challenge system similar to that used in professional tennis.

Each team will be allowed three challenges per game, with teams retaining challenges in cases when they are proved correct. MLB's intention is to use the data and feedback from both systems, over the full slate of games, to inform future choices.

As of now, MLB has no firm date to implement its Automatic Balls and Strikes system in the big leagues. But in recent seasons, the robotic umpire has been used increasingly in the minor leagues.

Robot umps still have a ways to go, seen many youtube videos of egregious misses and lots of concerns from players in the minors where they have been implemented.

This is a classic case of being careful what you wish for.
