Couple of Insider posts this week \u2013 one with reactions to the initial rosters for the Futures Game<\/a> and one on top prospects for tomorrow’s international free agent signing period<\/a>. I also held a Klawchat<\/a> on Friday afternoon en route to Lakewood from Bristol.<\/p>\n

My latest boardgame review for Paste<\/em> is the two-player game Santorini<\/a>, which has some light chess\/Othello elements to it but is played on a smaller board (5×5) that keeps the games a bit shorter.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who’s already bought Smart Baseball<\/a><\/em>; sales spiked this month between Father’s Day and the positive review in the Wall Street Journal<\/em>. I’ve got book signings coming up:<\/p>\n

* Miami, Books and Books, July 8th<\/a>
\n* Harrisburg, Midtown Scholar, July 15th<\/a>
\n* Berkeley, Books Inc., July 19th <\/a>
\n* Chicago, Volumes, July 28th, 7:30 pm<\/a>
\n* GenCon (Indianapolis), August 17th-20th<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re with an independent bookstore and would like to host a signing, please contact Danielle Bartlett at HarperCollins; we’re trying to accommodate everyone we can within my work schedule.<\/p>\n

I also spoke with Sportsnet about the book, anxiety, and the 2017 Blue Jays<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now, the links…<\/p>\n
