We saw a lot of old and new during Week 2 of this baseball season, but little in between.
MLB’s youngest grabbed this week’s headlines, whether it was Bryce Harper reaffirming his status as the face of baseball or rookies Trevor Story, Jeremy Hazelbaker and Kenta Maeda continuing stellar freshman campaigns.
The old came in the form of discussion over Pablo Sandoval’s weight—a storyline that has followed the third baseman at every stop in his MLB career. Fan safety again was in the spotlight, a question that is getting old and one that desperately needs an answer.
Then, there was also a storyline that fused the two: The old, rundown Cubs clubhouse morphed into a futuristic, new locale for its players that looks like an athlete's version of Disneyland.
