  • Rob Beirtempfel of the Tribune Review leads his notes off with a status report on Andrew McCutchen's contract talks, which he describes as at a "standstill." The comparables are Jay Bruce and Justin Upton, who signed six year deals with $50M+ payoffs.
  • Brad Lincoln has two MLB wins; both were shutouts.
  • Kevin Gorman of the Tribune Review has a piece on the Steel City Wildcats, a travel team of elite high school prospects from the area. It was founded by Neil Walker's dad Tom as a vehicle to get kids with talent seen by a wider circle of coaches.
