Red Sox announce LHP Roenis Elias has been optioned to Triple-A, which means Matt Barnes and Noe Ramirez have made the team as relievers. As expected, knuckleballer Steven Wright wins final spot in the rotation. Roster is set for Opening Day.

Mets borrowing off success of sausage, president and pierogi races. Will have 4 puffy Ford branded vehicles racing each other every game.
Barring something like a Jacob deGrom paternity leave, I'm expecting Matt Reynolds to break camp with the Mets as an extra bench player, then get dispatched to Las Vegas when the Mets return home to face the Phillies. At that point, Jim Henderson -- on a minor league deal -- would be added to the roster, giving the Mets a full seven-man bullpen.
Baseball and bacon. It just seems right. The Phillies Triple-A affiliate, reveal new bacon jerseys.

Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka says he has not been informed whether he would be the starter on Opening Day, but recognized it as a great honor: "Only 30 pitchers get to do it, so it's very special."

Dusty Baker loves speed, and it shows: Last season, the Nationals' 57 steals were 2nd fewest in the NL. This spring, including an Anthony Rendon steal in the 1st inning today (he scored a Ryan Zimmerman HR off Matt Harvey), the Nats have 29 steals, 2nd most among NL teams.
New Nationals Daniel Murphy and Ben Revere were the 1st and 7th hardest players to strike out last season. Dusty Baker says that will come in handy vs. the Mets' vaunted rotation: "You can't have too many strikeout people when you're playing strikeout pitchers. You wait on that home run, you'll be waiting 'til next week."
Corey Seager (-110) & Byron Buxton (+250) are the early Rookie of the Year front-runners in their respective leagues
