A new Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser dropped yesterday, and like previous teaser trailers, I’m pretty giddy about this. I was a boy of 11 when Episode I was released, but even then I remember feeling disappointed by it. Here’s to hoping Episode VII lives up to the hype.
On today’s agenda:
1. Farewell, Denard Span
2. Take note of Travis d’Arnaud
3. Love/Hate with Joe Ross
4. Streaming Pitching Options

1. Quick thoughts on Starlin Castro
2. Patrick Corbin cruises

1. David Wright returns
2. Welington Castillo homers again
3. Quick Marcus Stroman update
