Around the league:
- RIP to a longtime Hall of Fame curator of baseball’s historical items:
Our hearts are broken today @BaseballHall, as we lost one of our beloved colleagues, Curator John Odell. He loved this place so much and his fingerprints are on everything we've done for a quarter century. He has left a lasting impact on Cooperstown and all of us here. https://t.co/QJX1uf027C pic.twitter.com/y9ZTL4YkT5

- Retire already, hoss:
Josh Donaldson said that his calf strain was high enough of a grade that it is considered a tear. Doesn’t have a timetable, but also doesn’t know whether he has a chance to make it back this season. Depends on how it heals, he said.

Pedro Martinez is an excellent writing instructor, as wild as that sounds. His signature games are a master class in how to shift registers, how to strategize, how to create forms, patterns and leitmotifs. From him, you can learn how to perform on a page. https://t.co/yvrfm68wyC
