    Alex Bregman had surgery on his right hand yesterday. Should be ready to play by season opener.

    Why wouldn't he have had the surgery right after last season? Look for him to get off to another slow start.

    6 year contracts can turn into awful things, 10 years would be a nightmare, horrible

    KNBR, the Giants' radio station, has turned digital, free stream no signup, whoop

    10 years for Albert Pujols at age 32 was a terrible deal for the Angels but Machado is 26. Padres should get 6 to 8 productive years out of him before he declines in value. When you sign a guy for 10 years you know going in that you are paying for the first 60 to 70% of top quality and that you will have to eat the rest.

    Brice Harper is 26 and still unsigned. Look for the Yankees or Red Sox to pull the trigger on him.
