If you're asking if I thought the pulled one over on the teams involved, no. It's a good trade that makes a lot of sense for them, but it also made a lot of sense for the other teams involved to get what they did.

What do the Dodgers do at 3rd base? and when? I'm a fan of JT and I'd like to see him come back but I'd like to hear your take.

I still think they end up getting that done - there was a brief stretch where I thought they'd let Turner walk and trade for Lindor and slide Seager over, but Turner seems to want to come back and they seem to want him, so I imagine that's what ends up happening.

Does Albert Pujols finish the season on the Angels active roster? Or does he hang 'em up after they are out of playoff contention in July?

I can't imagine him retiring mid-season, no matter where the Angels are in the standings. This is likely his final year. He'll get a retirement tour, and it will be very nice.

What should be at the top of my "To-Do list" now that I'm in with the commissioner's office?

Convince Manfred to let the shift stuff sort itself out. Teams clearly aren't optimizing its deployment, but will eventually (which I think will result in being used less) and I'm very much done hearing about it every few months!

Is it irrational that I kind of don't want my favorite team- who needs a good 3B-  to sign Justin Turner because of the COVID shenanigans?

Baseball is entertainment. COVID is very serious, and should be treated as such. Turner was a dope. How unforgivable that is is going to vary person to person, but there are way sillier reasons to stop liking entertainment stuff.
Ok everyone, I need to get rolling.

My apologies for what I didn't get to, and thanks for the great questions. Until next week!
