Reinforcements for San Diego?
Maybe the Padres want to improve their bullpen, which is already excellent. Josh Hader is a name to watch.
The Padres, despite an already-strong bullpen and more obvious needs for offense and starting pitching, are monitoring the trade market for relief help, sources tell @TheAthletic: https://t.co/mbFUaQMbOl

Jonah Tong recalled?
Possible.
After being scratched from his Triple-A start yesterday, Jonah Tong is a possibility to start for the Mets tomorrow against the Marlins, per @WillSammon pic.twitter.com/3n3GrDCjan

Fernando Tatis Jr.'s new position.
Clearly, he is now the regular at second base.
Fernando Tatis Jr. is about to receive his Platinum Glove for a season he spent exclusively in right field. Then, he'll start his fifth straight game at second base.
Make no mistake, he's the Padres' everyday second baseman now. Here's how it happened and what it means: https://t.co/RZkuLyWxYE

Paul Toboni and Marcus Semien
The Nationals' manager and the Mets player have played together before.
In 2008, Paul Toboni and Marcus Semien arrived at Cal to play baseball. Eighteen years (and NINE kids) later, one plays second base for a team trying to beat the team the other guy runs.
On divergent paths in baseball, and an unbreakable bond.https://t.co/wV6HnFNdWn
