Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., a famous name and the top prospect in baseball is almost ready (coincidentally, just as the Blue Jays can save a year of service time for him … hmm). Plenty of other star news: Madison Bumgarner, could be on the trade market already, Khris Davis wins the race to 10 home runs, Mike Trout didn’t travel with the Angels because of his injury and Gary Sanchez joins the Yankees’ walking wounded.
The Toronto Blue Jays are finally admitting what we’ve all known for a while: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is ready to be a Major Leaguer.

Could Madison Bumgarner be on the move? It’s too early to say that for sure, but the Philadelphia Phillies continue to be aggressive as they eye the Giants ace, according to one MLB insider.

Mike Trout hasn’t hit the Injured List yet, but the Angels superstar didn’t travel on the team’s rare trip to Wrigley Field because his groin is still bothering him.
Mike Trout was seen by Dr. Steve Yoon this morning in Los Angeles. Imaging reveals a reduced amount of swelling to the groin. Mike also reports daily improvement. He will continue treatment in Anaheim and he will be re-evaluated on Sunday. We will provide an update at that time.

One player who is definitely not hurt is the Athletics’ Khris Davis. In fact, he’s busy hurting baseballs — 10 of them already this season.
