Sunday Morning Hot Links

Slow news day. The Astros won the World Series.

*Jake Kaplan talks about what the signings of Joe Smith and Hector Rondon mean for the pitching staff and we finally learn that Brad Peacock will definitely have a job next year, though it's still up in the air if he'll start or relieve.

In Kaplan's story, Luhnow discussed the importance of Spring Training for Tony Sipp. Sipp's 2017 was overall a disaster (5.79 ERA, -0.4 bWAR) but when he returned from injury in September he threw 5.1IP, 8H/1ER, 6K:2BB. Silver linings and whatnot.
