Not a lot of team news. MLB.com ran this story a couple days ago about Coach Green and the team…

It is true, what you’ve heard, I left the comforts of my palace in New York City to fly on my aircraft, Jew Force One, across the land all the while looking down on my minions.
I ask you now, what is better than this place? – this Los Angeles, as it’s called, with its wide boulevards lined with impossibly tall trees that look like dinosaurs and its perfectly manicured lawns and its white people. It’s like a heaven. I am considering ordering my concubines here to build me a new palace, with a baseball field in the middle. We’ll call it… Yankee Stadium.
LA, the land of dinosaurs
I have some shocking news. It turns out I am not the first Baseball King. In fact, as most young royals eventually come to terms with, I am simply one in a long line of hilarious, sick, self-obsessed demigods. There have been two men before me who shared a similar title, Clown Prince of Baseball. And here’s the kicker. They were both Jews. So now I, current sovereign leader of Jewish Baseball Clowning, must pay my respects to those that came before me, KOJB the 1st, and KOJB the 2nd, if you will.
First, there was this fella’, Al Schacht…
Al Schacht, the 1st King of Jewish Baseball.
Schacht played three years in the Major Leagues compiling a perfect 14-0 record in his career. But he was best known for his ability to imitate other players and entertain the crowd from the third base coaching box earning him the nickname, Clown Prince of Baseball. He coached 13 in the Bigs.
Then, there was Max Patkin, the real Clown Prince of Baseball.
Max Patkin, KOJB, the 2nd
Patkin performed over 4,ooo times in 51 years as the Clown Prince. He even appeared as himself in Bull Durham. Here he is, doing his thing… the one, the only, Max Patkin.
They don’t understand, Max– the love, the pain, the tears of the Jewish Baseball Clown. But I hear you. Brother, one day we will unite in the Great Baseball Hall of Fame in the Sky, Los Angeles I believe it is called. I’ll see you there. Until then, I’ll make sure the legacy of Jewish Baseball Clowning is safe. Humbly, KOJB… the 3rd.
