Nolan Arenado too. That makes more sense.
Nolan Arenado might not be able to put in the amount of obsessive work he used to.
But he still thinks he's one of the best defensive third basemen in MLB.”There's no reason why I shouldn't be in the running for the Gold Glove again. That's what I expect.”@12SportsAZ pic.twitter.com/TRNh7N9H9L

Pete Alonso feels good
He feels wanted in Baltimore.
Starting over with the #Orioles, Pete Alonso already looks right at home this spring training. Maybe because now he has a team that loves him back. #Mets https://t.co/L3r0NQ1jhP

“The goal is to win.”
Giancarlo Stanton wants a ring.
“The goal is a World Series, the goal is a championship, but you gotta do what's in between to, not get there, but to complete it.”

Junior Caminero wants to sign a contract extension
Will the club approach him?
Junior Caminero on an extension with #Rays:
“I'd like to (discuss it), but this is not my decision. I feel this is my city, Tampa. I love Tampa, but this is not my decision. I'll control what I control — just go play, have fun.”

Anthony Santander explains
At the start of the offseason, he didn't think he needed surgery.
Anthony Santander tells us (via interpreter) that mid-season MRIs in 2025 did not show the tear in his labrum.
He and the #BlueJays opted for rehab, but when he ramped up hitting this winter and it felt uncomfortable, those MRIs did.p>— Keegan Matheson (@KeeganMatheson) February 18, 2026
