Only made it out to a couple AFL games so far, but this guy was nasty. Underrated under-the-radar arm I’ll be keeping tabs on.
Astros righty Juan Bello is a whiff machine 😮💨
The 22-year-old prospect threw three scoreless innings in his Arizona Fall League debut, striking out four and inducing a 50% whiff rate on 16 swings.

I asked 24 MLB execs who they’d call if they had to find a head of baseball ops tomorrow. The answers are vast, I learned a lot!
“It’s more fun being on this side of it.”
NEW for @YahooSports on what goes into hiring cycles and how execs see their peers.

KC - 11
SD - 10

CIN - 8
LAA - 8
SFG - 6

ARI, CHC, CHW, CLE, LAD, SEA - 0
NFL opening night was an absolute bore fest. No offense, sloppy play, dumb penalties, bad decisions. No one showed up ready to play, esp offensively.
NFL doesn’t care if it’s a terrible product & players get hurt, it’s all about ratings and $. Wake me up when it’s week 3 or 4
Caught some bridge league last week and wrote about it ⬇️
