It's kinda easy for us to become somewhat insular as fans, and I want to try and keep us (somewhat!) informed about what's going on elsewhere in the league. So, I've taken a trawl around the other 32 sites in the SB Nation baseball network [one for each team plus the three general sites], and picked the story from the past week on each that caught my attention. That's a pretty broad term: it might be a piece of team news; an interesting game recap; a well-written piece of analysis; an interesting debate in the comments; whatever.
I'm not promising this will be a weekly column - it may last no longer than today, since I had to be dropped off at work an hour before my scheduled start. But if time permits, it might be fun. All links open in a new tab, so you can click away, read the piece, then close the tab and be right back here. We care about your surfing experience here at AZ SnakePit...
