Worthy: The Marlins have escalated the war on catchers, and it’s an abomination

According to longtime Florida-based reporter Craig Mish, the Marlins have had decided to have every pitch thrown by their minor leaguers called from the dugout and not by their catchers. The idea being that they’re giving the catchers a better chance to develop as offensive players by taking pitch calling duties out of their hands.

*Q&A: Arenado on future with Cardinals, Hall of Fame case

Bill Ladson (quoting Nolan Arenado):

I don’t mean this in a bad way, but I’m not part of their future plans. I’m older. That’s just part of it. When I say future plans, I’m talking about the next five years, plus. I understand that. Hopefully, we are winning so we can add at the Deadline. If not, I’m assuming some questions will arise.

**Cards acquire star 3B Arenado from Rockies

Four writers at mlb.com:

Additionally, the Cardinals have agreed to restructure Arenado’s mega contract, adding a year onto the back end of the deal (making it run through 2027) with player opt-outs after the ’21 and ’22 seasons. Arenado will retain his no-trade clause, too, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.

The Dodgers sell hot dogs for $7.99. The Diamondbacks sell them for $2.99. Why?

Bill Shaikin:

In the seventh inning, fans rise and sing about buying peanuts and Cracker Jack at the ballgame.

But what if the concession prices have risen so much that fans have to think twice about buying? At Dodger Stadium, a Dodger Dog costs $7.99.

As ticket prices have soared, a small but growing number of teams in all sports are offering a limited menu of basic concession items at fan-friendly prices. At Chase Field, the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, a hot dog costs $2.99.
