In the history of baseball, few teams have crashed harder following a World Series run than the Nationals. The wild card darlings of the 2019 season, who overcame the Dodgers, Cardinals, and cheating Astros to win a championship have seen the castle quickly crumble, finishing dead last in the NL East the last three years, including a dismal, by-far-worst-in-MLB 55-107 mark in 2022. Juan Soto is gone, Stephen Strasburg is hurt (again), and it seems a lengthy rebuild is on the horizon.

Jackson Stephens has had a whirlwind time of it over the last 15 months. After pitching in the Mexican League in 2021, the Braves snapped him up on a minor league deal in early 2022. He didn’t make the Opening Day roster out of Spring Training that year, but he made just one appearance at Triple-A before he was added to the 40-man roster and became a lower-leverage fixture in the Atlanta bullpen.

A man who made an awkward—now seemingly eerie—joke about marriage on Family Feud has been charged with murdering his wife three years after appearing on the game show. On Monday, Timothy W. Bliefnick, 39, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and home invasion in the death of his wife, Rebecca Bliefnick, KHQA reports. His arrest came a few weeks after Rebecca’s body was found with multiple gunshot wounds inside her Quincy, Illinois, home.

A Colorado couple is sitting in their in-ground hot tub around 8 p.m. on Saturday night (18 March 2023) when the man felt "something grab his head." The couple is frightened as the wife screams and they splash water at the mountain lion. Thanks to the wife's quick thinking, she grabs a flashlight and shines the light at the mountain lion, and they make plenty of noise to scare it away.

Update: The Braves have announced a ton of moves. The roster is way, way clearer now. This is the Braves operating with maximum flexibility, again. Anderson, Grissom, Shewmake, Luplow, and White all have options; many of the other players remaining on the roster and much closer to Opening Day in the majors did not. In addition to the surprising shortstop developments (see below), Luplow is somewhat strange — he has one option year remaining, but signed a non-split deal. Then again, Luplow has not avoided Triple-A in any season where there were actual Triple-A games going back to his debut year in 2017, so perhaps this is just kind of annual tradition for him.
