Ted Simmons, Marvin Miller make the Hall of Fame

Conflicting reports on potential Yankees offer to Gerrit Cole
MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand threw cold water on the idea of a record offer already on the table for free-agent righty Gerrit Cole.
Anthony Rendon-Dodgers noise heats up
Perhaps this is the year that Los Angeles goes out of its comfort zone and makes a huge splash. Here’s the latest from The Athletic and MLB Network’s Ken Rosenthal.
“The Dodgers under Andrew Friedman, who took over in October 2014, have never been in this flexible of a payroll position,” Rosenthal said Thursday on MLB Network’s “Hot Stove” program. “They’re well under the luxury-tax threshold. They’ve been under the last two years, so they’ve got their penalty rate reset to the minimum.
“So, in essence, they can do anything they want. That means Gerrit Cole, Stephen Strasburg, Anthony Rendon in the free-agent market, or one of the big trade pieces — whether it’s [Mookie Betts] or [Kris] Bryant or Francisco Lindor. … They have spent years — literally, years — trying to get into this position … Why work toward this moment, and not seize it?”
