MLB Trade Rumors
Rays starter
Tyler Glasnow hit the IL with a partially torn UCL and a flexor tendon strain today, and he feels that MLB’s decision to finally enforce the foreign substance rules on the books is a contributing factor. In advance of MLB’s new enforcement policy, Glasnow ceased usage of sunscreen, changing the grips on his fastball and curveball. Here’s what Glasnow had to say (Bally Sports Florida sideline reporter Tricia Whitaker has the video here):
“Do it in the offseason, give us a chance to adjust to it. But I just threw 80-something, 70-whatever innings, and then you just told me I can’t use anything in the middle of the year?

Cubs oldest position players, pitchers By JohnW53 on Apr 12, 2021, 6:22am CDT +
Who was the oldest in the Modern Era?
Who was their oldest pitcher?
Who was their oldest pitcher in his final season?
Each of those questions has a different answer.
....
Nearly 125 years after his final game,
Cap Anson remains the oldest player in franchise history to appear anywhere other than on the mound.
The last game of his remarkable, 27-season career No. 2,524 overall and No. 2,277 for Chicago came on Oct. 3, 1897. That day, Anson was
45 years, 169 days old.
He had been 19 days past his 19th birthday when he played his first game, for the Rockford Forest Citys, on May 6, 1871.
