Good morning!

The Mets got some awful injury news yesterday but, hey, at least Mets fans are used to that and know well how to assume the fetal position in response. The Marlins and Tigers signed dudes. The Pirates extended a dude. Trevor Bauer was given a chance to explain why a Major League Baseball team should sign him and he failed miserably. Wander Franco is in more trouble. And yes, there are more photos of the awful see-through pants Rob Manfred, Nike, and Fanatics think the players should be wearing.

In Other Stuff: the English may not be just like us but their billionaire sports owners are a lot like ours. A journalist some of you may know has been arrested and charged with federal crimes for, it appears anyway, committing acts of journalism. And, finally, we consider naked judges.

Oh, please. Like you haven’t thought about naked judges before.
