Our weekly look at some of the best and most interesting things I've seen over the last 7 days
RED REMEMBERS
Former Marlins catcher and manager Mike Redmond talked about some of the great young players he saw during his time in Miami in this Q&A with David Laurila of Fangraphs. Now the Rockies’ bench coach, Red talked about Jose Fernandez, Giancarlo Stanton, Miguel Cabrera, Josh Beckett, Dontrelle Willis and more.
MIXED MESSAGES
Brit Ghiroli of The Athletic writes that the Red Sox have a messaging issue. Reading this piece, I couldn’t help but think it would read well if she replaced “Red Sox” with “Marlins.”
DOING DAMAGE
Giancarlo Stanton went to a junkyard and did some damage.
IS HIS BEST YET TO COME?
As good as he was en route to winning NL MVP honors in 2023, the Braves’ Ronald Acuña Jr. could be even better in 2024, writes Mike Petriello of MLB.com.
