Leading Off
This week’s news and rumors focus on the reunification (and rumored reunification) of the likes of Steve Tollison and L.J. Hoes. Also, that Darren O’Day may sign in Washington. And… that’s about it. Matt Wieters accepted his qualifying offer. Now we wait for the Orioles to do something – anything. Welcome to the offseason.
The only thing that can make the wait easier is diving into the Drink of the Week. Let us know what you’re drinking on untapped – we can be found at jakee4025 and magn8606.

Around the Bases
In this Around the Bases, we address the following:
First Base – Matt Wieters/Qualifying Offer
Second Base – The J.J. Hardy Conundrum
Third Base – Hoes in different area codes? (sorry)

Look, this offseason is no fun. If we’re going to talk about the Nationals maybe sorta kinda being linked to Darren O’Day, we’re going to do it by beating up on an otherwise pretty decent dude: friend of the program and Nationals fan, Josh Finver.
