Podcast appearances and mentions of Jonathan Villar

Mike Elias has made 17 trades of note in his time as Baltimore Orioles General Manager. Host Connor Newcomb decided to rank those 17 deals from worst to best. Connor discusses why the Miguel Castro trade was a disaster and why the trades involving Freddy Galvis and Jonathan Villar didn't do much either way. Then, Connor talks about how he feels now about the Jorge López and Trey Mancini trades and how high Kyle Bradish's recent success put the Dylan Bundy trade on this list.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

My notes (as of now) for this evening include the coming of Mark Appel, the leaving of Jonathan Villar, Jerad Eickhoff sucks, the June prosperity of Charlie Morton, and the great Jack Suwinski.

What do the Pirates, Shohei Ohtani, Jonathan Villar, and Lorenzo Cain have in common? They all got love in This Week In Baseball from Gautam's Parents' basement! Then we talk about how different players are playing compared to preseason predictions and what we expect in the rest of the season.

The Cubs beat the Braves two out of three behind strong performances from young starters Justin Steele and Keegan Thompson. Kevin is in Vegas for the week and put a bet on…a different Cubs game. Whoops. Willson Contreras leads the NL in All Star votes at catcher (vote Willson online, folks!) and Ian Happ continues a truly strong year at the plate, and that's about all we have in the good news column to report. All our other good thoughts were bobbled and thrown away by Jonathan Villar.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Tampa Bay Rays 8, Detroit Tigers 1 Chicago White Sox 3, Kansas City Royals 0 – Game 1 Kansas City Royals 2, Chicago White Sox 1 – Game 2 Chicago Cubs 7, Pittsburgh Pirates 0 Rays 8, Tigers 1 – Kiermaier, Phillips, Arozarena homer, Rays beat Tigers 8-1 Kevin Kiermaier, Brett Phillips and Randy Arozarena each homered and drove in two runs, Shane McClanahan struck out seven in seven innings and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Detroit Tigers 8-1.

Kiermaier had three hits including a leadoff homer in the second off Detroit starter Beau Brieske. It was his fourth homer of the season. White Sox 3, Royals 0 & Royals 2, White Sox 1 – White Sox and Royals split doubleheader Brady Singer outdueled Davis Martin as the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 2-1 in the second game of a doubleheader. The White Sox won the first game 3-0. Singer (1-0) had his best outing since last September 5, when he threw seven shutout innings against the White Sox. He struck out a career high nine batters and didn’t walk anyone. He allowed just four hits in seven innings. Josh Staumont earned his third save in five chances. Davis Martin (0-1) made his debut and was equally impressive. He allowed just one run on five hits in five innings, walking one and striking out seven. Cubs 7, Pirates 0 – Cubs shut out Pirates for 2nd straight night, 7-0 Keegan Thompson combined with three relievers on a five-hitter, and the Chicago Cubs shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates for the second straight game, a 7-0 win that extended their winning streak to a season-best four. Jonathan Villar hit a go-ahead, solo homer in the third and added an RBI single. Pittsburgh has not scored since the eighth inning Sunday, when the Pirates beat Cincinnati 1-0 despite not getting any hits. The Pirates had five hits Tuesday and have just nine in three games, dropping their batting average to .223. The shutout was the fifth against Pittsburgh this season.

Orlando finished with the worst record in the Eastern Conference at 22-60 and missed the playoffs for the eighth time in 10 years. But they got a huge win in the lottery, with the top pick for the first time since taking Howard in 2004. Duke’s Paolo Banchero, Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren, Purdue’s Jaden Ivey and Auburn’s Jabari Smith are widely considered the most likely candidates to be taken first. Oklahoma City got the second pick, followed by Houston and Sacramento.  Detroit will pick fifth.  WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Last Night Atlanta Dreams 101, Indiana Fever 79 Dream 101, Fever 79 – Howard scores 19 as Dream beat Fever, again, 101-79 Rhyne Howard scored 19 points, Cheyenne Parker added 17 and the Atlanta Dream beat the Indiana Fever 101-79. Erica Wheeler had a season-high 16 points and rookie Kristy Wallace added a career-best 15 for Atlanta. Wallace was a second-round pick out of Baylor in 2018 and made her WNBA debut in the season opener after playing professionally in her native Australia the last four seasons. Howard hit 3-pointers to open and close an 11-2 opening run and the Dream never trailed. Victoria Vivians led Indiana (2-4) with 16 points. Danielle Robinson and Kelsey Mitchell score 12 points apiece. NaLyssa Smith, the No. 2 overall selection in last month’s draft, did not play for the Fever due to an ankle injury. Tonight Chicago Sky at Seattle Storm, 10:00 p.m. WNBA – State Dept pushing to see Griner; NBA Commissioner weighs in The State Department said Tuesday that it still pushing to have regular contact with WNBA star Brittney Griner, who has been detained in Russia for nearly three months. A consular official was able to meet with Griner last week, when her pre-trial detention in Russia was extended for one month. Griner has been detained since February, after vape cartridges containing oil derived from cannabis were allegedly found in her luggage at an airport in Moscow. The NBA also weighed in on the matter Tuesday. Commissioner Adam Silver says his league is also trying to bring Griner home. NFL – Bears try to prove they can support QB Justin Fields The Chicago Bears have brought in numerous new faces on offense, but none of the most expensive free agents and they used their second-round draft picks for defensive help, so at organized team activity workouts they face questions about how well they’ve supported quarterback Justin Fields. The Bears signed third-round receiver Velus Jones to a contract on Tuesday and added another offensive lineman in Shon Coleman, but they’re trying to prove competition and a thorough understanding of their new offense can compensate for the lack of top-level offensive help for Fields. NFL – Former Bears RB Tarik Cohen injured during streamed workout Former Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen, now a free agent, apparently suffered an injury during a training session being live-streamed on his Instagram account.  The hard-luck player, released in March by the Bears due to past injuries, grabbed the back of his leg after going down during the workout. The incident was seen on Instagram Live, with Cohen falling to the floor after back-peddling.  Cohen played three full seasons with Chicago but made it to only three games in 2021 before tearing knee ligaments. Horse Racing – Rich Strike skipping Preakness reignites Triple Crown debate Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike’s absence from the Preakness has reignited the debate over whether the spacing of the three Triple Crown races should be changed. The current schedule of two weeks from the Derby to Preakness and then three weeks to the Belmont has been in place since 1969, except for 2020 when the pandemic disrupted the order. Proponents of change argue it’s better for horses to get more rest and that the Preakness would become a better race. Those in favor of the status quo point to the sport’s tradition and say it should be difficult to win the Triple Crown.

Kiermaier had three hits including a leadoff homer in the second off Detroit starter Beau Brieske. It was his fourth homer of the season. White Sox 3, Royals 0 & Royals 2, White Sox 1 – White Sox and Royals split doubleheader Brady Singer outdueled Davis Martin as the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 2-1 in the second game of a doubleheader. The White Sox won the first game 3-0. Singer (1-0) had his best outing since last September 5, when he threw seven shutout innings against the White Sox. He struck out a career high nine batters and didn't walk anyone. He allowed just four hits in seven innings. Josh Staumont earned his third save in five chances. Davis Martin (0-1) made his debut and was equally impressive. He allowed just one run on five hits in five innings, walking one and striking out seven. Cubs 7, Pirates 0 – Cubs shut out Pirates for 2nd straight night, 7-0 Keegan Thompson combined with three relievers on a five-hitter, and the Chicago Cubs shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates for the second straight game, a 7-0 win that extended their winning streak to a season-best four. Jonathan Villar hit a go-ahead, solo homer in the third and added an RBI single. Pittsburgh has not scored since the eighth inning Sunday, when the Pirates beat Cincinnati 1-0 despite not getting any hits. The Pirates had five hits Tuesday and have just nine in three games, dropping their batting average to .223. The shutout was the fifth against Pittsburgh this season.

Orlando finished with the worst record in the Eastern Conference at 22-60 and missed the playoffs for the eighth time in 10 years. But they got a huge win in the lottery, with the top pick for the first time since taking Howard in 2004. Duke's Paolo Banchero, Gonzaga's Chet Holmgren, Purdue's Jaden Ivey and Auburn's Jabari Smith are widely considered the most likely candidates to be taken first. Oklahoma City got the second pick, followed by Houston and Sacramento.  Detroit will pick fifth.  WNBA – Women's National Basketball Association Last Night Atlanta Dreams 101, Indiana Fever 79 Dream 101,

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 3, New York Yankees 0 Cleveland Guardians 3, Chicago White Sox 0 Pittsburgh Pirates 4, Chicago Cubs 3 Tigers 3, Yankees 0 – Cabrera intentionally walked with 2,999 hits as Tigers beat Yankees 3-0 New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone went from Scrooge to Santa Claus in the eyes of Tigers fans on Thursday in Detroit.  Boone elected to intentionally walk Miguel Cabrera in the eighth inning, denying the Tigers designated hitter of a chance for his 3,000th career hit. The decision came with two runners on, two out and the Tigers clinging to a 1-0 lead. One batter later, Austin Meadows blooped a two-run double to put Detroit ahead by three in a 3-0 shutout of New York. Former Yankee Michael Pineda picked up his first win as a Tiger, yielding three hits over five innings. Robbie Grossman doubled home Detroit’s first run off hard-luck loser David Mongomery, who allowed just two other hits while becoming the first Yankee to throw six innings this year. Guardians 3, White Sox 0 – Naylor, Plesac lead Guardians to sweep of White Sox 6-3 Josh Naylor had two hits and two RBIs, continuing his comeback from a devastating leg injury and helping the Cleveland Guardians complete a series sweep of the Chicago White Sox with a 6-3 victory. Cleveland took both games of a doubleheader on Wednesday against Chicago, which has lost four straight. Naylor hit an RBI single in the fifth and a run-scoring double in the seventh. He was activated Friday after suffering multiple fractures in his right leg during an outfield collision last June. Pirates 4, Cubs 3 – Vogelbach’s HR rallies Pirates past Cubs 4-3 Daniel Vogelbach hit a two-run homer, Yoshi Tsutsugo had a two-run double and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied past the Chicago Cubs 4-3. The Pirates rebounded from a three-game sweep at Milwaukee with nine hits in the opener of a four-game series at Chicago. Pittsburgh starter Bryse Wilson allowed Rafael Ortega’s leadoff single in the first, then walked three straight batters. Jonathan Villar added a sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead, and Seiya Suzuki had an RBI groundout in the second for a 3-0 edge. Vogelbach homered in the third, and Tsutsugo’s double made it 4-3 Pirates in the fifth.

The 39-year-old star needs one more hit to become the 33rd major leaguer to reach the milestone and the first from Venezuela to do it. Cabrera is set to face a fellow Venezuelan, Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela, in the series opener. Cabrera went 0 for 3, striking out twice, and stayed at 2,999 hits in a 3-0 win over the Yankees on Thursday. He drew an intentional walk in the eighth inning, prompting loud booing and chanting from Detroit fans. NBA – Bucks’ Middleton out at least 2 weeks with knee injury Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton is expected to miss at least two weeks after injuring his left knee Wednesday night in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series with the Chicago Bulls. The Bucks announced Thursday night that the three-time All-Star had undergone an MRI earlier that day and that they would offer their next status update on him in “approximately two weeks.” That likely knocks him out at least for the rest of the Bucks-Bulls series. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said after he Bucks’ 114-110 loss Wednesday that Middleton had a sprained medial collateral ligament.

Mason Marchment had a goal and an assist, and Sam Reinhart, MacKenzie Weegar and Noel Acciari also scored for the Panthers, who clinched first in the Atlantic Division and the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Florida, with 118 points, moved two points ahead of Colorado in the race for the best record in the NHL. Each team has five games remaining. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 28 shots. Tyler Bertuzzi and Sam Gagner scored for Detroit, and Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 22 shots. Kings 4, Blackhawks 1 – Kings defeat Blackhawks 4-1, move closer to a playoff spot Phillip Danault scored for the fifth straight game and the Los Angeles Kings moved closer to wrapping up a playoff spot with a 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. Danault opened the scoring in the first period with his 26th goal of the season. He is the first Kings player since Marián Gáborík in 2014 to have a goal in five straight games. Anze Kopitar, Andreas Athanasiou and Trevor Moore also scored for Los Angeles, which has won four of its last five. The Kings are five points ahead of Vegas for third place in the Pacific Division. Patrick Kane scored for Chicago, which has lost nine of its last 11. It was the 430th career goal for Kane, which moves him past Bill Guerin into sixth among U.S.-born skaters in NHL history. Golf – Cantlay-Schauffele team leads in Louisiana Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele are the first-round leaders at the Zurich Classic near New Orleans.  Cantlay holed a 25-foot eagle putt early and chipped in from 40 feet for birdie late. Schauffele contributed six birdies of his own, and their three straight birdies to close gave them a 13-under 59 in fourballs.  It set a tournament record since the Zurich Classic switched to team play in 2017, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup partners were willing to claim a piece of golf’s magic number. They had a one-shot lead over the team of Matthew NeSmith and Taylor Moore. Boxing – Tyson punch on plane leads to investigation Authorities have begun an investigation after former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson was recorded on video punching a fellow passenger on board a plane at San Francisco International Airport. The video was first shared by TMZ and shows Tyson leaning over the back of his seat repeatedly striking the unidentified man in the head, drawing blood. Prior to the physical altercation, the man is seen on the video standing over Tyson’s seat, waving his arms and talking animatedly while the former boxer sits quietly. NASSAR – 13 Nassar victims seeking $130M from FBI over bungled probe Thirteen sexual assault victims are seeking $10 million each from the FBI. They claim a bungled investigation by federal agents led to more abuse by the sports doctor. It’s an effort to make the government responsible for assaults that occurred after 2015. The Justice Department’s inspector general concluded last year that the FBI made fundamental errors when it became aware of allegations against Dr. Larry Nassar. He was a Michigan State University sports doctor as well as a doctor at USA Gymnastics. FIFA – FedEx Field in Maryland drops out as 2026 World Cup site FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, has dropped out of bidding to host games at the 2026 World Cup, and the Washington area has merged its campaign with Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium. The joint bid would have a fan festival on the District of Columbia’s National Mall. Seventeen U.S. stadiums in 16 areas remain in the bidding for the World Cup, and three cities each in Canada and Mexico are bidding. The bid plan envisioned 16 total sites across the three nations, and FIFA targeted mid-June for announcing site selections. NFL – Pro Football Hall of Fame expands opportunities for seniors Senior candidates will have more opportunities to be selected for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the next three years. The hall’s Board of Trustees has approved several changes to the bylaws governing the selection of Hall of Fame enshrinees. In the past, only one player who no longer was in the modern-era category could be voted into the shrine annually. But for the 2023-2025 classes, a maximum of three per year could be chosen by the selection committee. A deep backlog of senior candidates led to the revision. NFL – Texas woman drops lawsuit claiming Jerry Jones is her father A 25-year-old Texas woman who sued Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, alleging he is her biological father, has dropped her lawsuit. The Dallas Morning News reports that Alexandra Davis said in court papers filed Wednesday that she now wants genetic testing to verify her claim. Jones’ attorneys had asked in court filings that the suit be dismissed but did not address the paternity claim. The lawsuit alleged that Jones had a relationship with Davis’ mother, Cynthia Davis, who was working as a ticket counter agent for American Airlines in Little Rock, Arkansas, at the time. Alexandra Davis was born in 1996.

The Cubs went .500 over a four game set at Coors Field, which Sara and Danny are happy about, but can the team just put a stop to these TOOTBLANs? Sara and Danny are also looking at Ross' bullpen management despite some guys struggling, it appears KB's eyes really do sparkle more in purple and a hot series for Jonathan Villar which could cause a playing time crunch for Nick and/or Nico. After the break they preview the Tampa Bay series that may or may not kick off at Wrigley Field on Monday night if the snow stays away. Plus a look at pitching matchups, here's hoping Wrigley Kyle shows up and some red hot players for the Cubs and the Rays including Ji-Man Choi, Seiya Suzuki, Jason Heyward (yes, really) and Ian Happ. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Cubs have been quite active since the end of the lockout, winning the Seiya Suzuki sweepstakes, signing nearly 10 pitchers, and adding a couple of infielders in Andrelton Simmons and Jonathan Villar. Taken together, those moves give us a great indication of not only the Cubs' plans for 2022, but also for the next few seasons to come. Brett Taylor, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney break it all down on this episode of Onto Waveland.

He helped the 11th-seeded Wolverines rally from a 15-point deficit to beat sixth-seeded Colorado State 75-63 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Collins was pressed into the starting lineup because starting point guard DeVante’ Jones was out with a concussion. He had season highs of 14 points, six rebounds and 31 minutes. Big man Hunter Dickinson led Michigan with 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Dischon Thomas scored 15 points on 5-of-7 3-point shooting for Colorado State.

Fresh off an 89-87 double overtime victory over Rutgers in Wednesday’s First Four in Dayton, Ohio, Brey and his Notre Dame squad arrived in Southern California early Thursday morning without much time to prepare for Friday’s West Region first-round matchup against sixth-seeded Alabama. Brey said 11th-seeded Notre Dame’s flight landed at 4:30 a.m. About 13 hours later, the team had a brief walkthrough at Viejas Arena.

Bey tied the franchise record with 10 3-pointers in 14 attempts. He was 17 for 27 overall. Two nights after being torched for 16 points in the first quarter by Brooklyn’s Kyrie Irving on his way to a 60-point game, the Magic gave up 21 points in the first quarter to Bey. Marvin Bagley III added 20 points and 11 rebounds for Detroit in the matchup of the bottom two teams in the Eastern Conference.

Thatcher Demko stopped 34 shots for the Canucks. Vancouver pushed in the third, outshooting the Red Wings 14-4 in the period and pulling Demko with 2:23 left on the game clock.

MLB – Major League Baseball – Spring Training Yesterday Chicago White Sox (ss) 4, Chicago Cubs (ss) 3 – F/7                            Mesa, AZ Chicago White Sox (ss) 5, Chicago Cubs (ss) 2 – F/7                            Glendale, AZ Today Philadelphia Phillies at Detroit Tigers, 1:05 p.m. Chicago Cubs at San Francisco Giants, 10:05 p.m. MLB – Tigers agree to 2-year deal with LHP Andrew Chafin Left-hander Andrew Chafin and the Tigers finalized a $13 million, two-year contract, giving Detroit one of the top relief pitchers on the free agent market. Chafin gets a $1 million signing bonus, $5.5 million this season and $6.5 million in 2023. The 31-year-old had a 1.83 ERA with a career-high five saves and 64 strikeouts in 71 games in 2021, splitting the season with the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics. His ERA ranked No. 5 in the majors among relievers and he ranked among baseball’s leaders in opponents’ on-base and slugging percentage and opponents’ slugging percentage. MLB – AP sources: Cubs add Villar, Givens in flurry of moves The Chicago Cubs stayed busy, agreeing to contracts with infielder Jonathan Villar and pitchers Mychal Givens, Daniel Norris and Robert Gsellman. The Cubs also finalized right-hander Chris Martin’s one-year deal and placed left-hander Brad Wieck on the 60-day injured list with a left elbow strain. The additions are the latest in a flurry of moves for the Cubs since they opened spring training — especially on the pitching side. There is concern across the majors about pitching depth with baseball’s adjusted schedule after the lockout. MLB – Cubs’ Hendricks eyes return to form coming off rough season Kyle Hendricks hopes to return to the form that made him one of the Chicago Cubs’ most reliable pitchers in recent years. The team is counting on the veteran right-hander to do just that. The 32-year-old right-hander won 14 games last season to match his second-highest total. Otherwise, it was by far his worst year. Hendricks’ ERA leaped from 2.88 in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season to a career-worst 4.77. The major league-leading 200 hits were the most he has allowed. So were the 31 homers, a big jump for someone who had never given up more than 22. With 131 strikeouts and 44 walks, his strikeout-to-walk ratio was below 3.00 for the first time — a big drop from his NL-leading mark of 8.0 in 2020. NCAA – NTSB: 13-year-old drove pickup in Texas crash that killed 9 A National Transportation Safety Board spokesman says a 13-year-old was driving the pickup truck that struck a van in West Texas in a fiery collision that killed nine people. NTSB Vice Chairman Bruce Landsberg said Thursday the truck’s left front tire, which was a spare tire, also blew out before impact. One must be 14 in Texas to start taking classroom courses for a learner’s license and 15 to receive that provisional license to drive with an instructor or licensed adult in the vehicle. The pickup crossed into the opposite lane on a darkened, two-lane highway before colliding head-on with a van, killing the boy, a man traveling with him, six New Mexico college students and a golf coach. NFL – Lions sign receiver DJ Chark to $10 million, 1-year contract The Detroit Lions signed wide receiver DJ Chark to a $10 million, one-year contract. Detroit made a short-term investment for a former Pro Bowl player coming off an injury-shortened season. A broken ankle limited Chark to four games last season in Jacksonville. He earned Pro Bowl recognition in 2019 after he had 73 receptions for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns with the Jaguars. Chark said a few other teams wanted to give him a long-term deal, but he chose to sign in Detroit because of the fit with a team that desperately needs a deep threat at receiver. NFL – AP source: Raiders acquiring Davante Adams from Packers The Las Vegas Raiders are making a blockbuster move to keep up in the AFC West, acquiring All-Pro receiver Davante Adams from the Green Bay Packers. A person familiar with the move said Thursday the Raiders are sending the No. 22 overall pick in the April draft and additional compensation to the Packers to reunite Adams with his college quarterback, Derek Carr. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced. NFL Network reported that Adams has agreed to a new five-year deal with the Raiders that will pay him $141.25 million in the richest deal ever for a wide receiver. Golf – Sheriff: Workers maybe sparked country club fire with torch Surveillance camera footage shows maintenance workers using a propane torch prior to a blaze that destroyed a century-old clubhouse at a suburban Detroit country club. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said the Oakland Hills Country Club has estimated the loss of the clubhouse at about $80 million. Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Thursday that the footage appears to show the workers attempting to douse a small fire in a wall using a garden hose on Feb. 17. Bouchard says investigators could have a preliminary finding on the cause of the fire next month. He did not mention the possibility of criminal charges. WNBA – Report: Griner’s arrest extended to May 19 Russia’s Tass news agency says a court near Moscow has announced it has extended the detention of WNBA star Brittney Griner until May 19.  Griner was detained at a Moscow airport, reportedly in mid-February, after Russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges as allegedly containing oil derived from cannabis.  The seven-time All-Star has won two Olympic gold medals with the U.S. and a WNBA championship with the Phoenix Mercury.

Cody, Kyle, Luke, and Brendan talk about the recent signings the Cubs made over the last 24 hours, including Jonathan Villar, Daniel Norris, and more. Brendan gives us a pitching lesson and dives into why the future is bright for Norris. The Cubs also signed Mychal Givens during the show so the crew reacts to that. It's the Cubs first Spring Training action in Arizona, so we ask the people, does Kyle Hendricks deserve to be the Opening Day starter? To wrap up, we update the Sweet and Savory 16 bracket.

Eno and DVR break down the third base position, which offers a handful of intriguing mid-round values, but might require some early attention given the drop-off at the position outside the Top 200 overall. Is Austin Riley catching too much helium coming off of an excellent 2021? Should you pay the Adalberto Mondesi Tax?
