A little bit of this..

Sometimes you are motivated to write and other times you are not.
That might not be the major reason that I've never made a dime on this, but I know it's not the only reason.

I had ideas for columns and even started a few (Blogger has a few posts that have been started), but I never felt up to finishing.
Keep that in mind, in a week or no when there is a flurry of posts!

The Cleveland Indians outfield situation doesn't look strong entering Arizona, but the Indians added another competitor in the race for starting positions with the signing of free agent Matt Joyce.
The 34-year-old Joyce hit .208 with seven homers in 83 games for Oakland last season, which doesn't exactly fill one with confidence that this is the answer for the Indians offense, but the hope that Joyce hits more along the lines of his 2017 season where he hit a career-high 25 homers for the Athletics.
It's low risk, a little over a million if he makes the team and incentives, but I'm not overly hopeful.

I do have some hopes for another signing, this one for the bullpen as the Indians signed Alex Wilson, formerly of the Tigers.
Wilson notched a 3.36 ERA for the Tigers last season in 59 games and has been solid in his six-year career with Boston and Detroit so this could be a signing that helps a bit.

Remember the post when Nik Stauskas was acquired by the Cavaliers and I wrote how he was worth a flyer, only to be traded the next day to Houston?
Stauskas was traded the following day after that to Indiana and was waived by the Pacers.
After all that, where did Staukas wind up? Cleveland.
Salary caps can make strange things happen.

And then there's Marquese Chriss, who has scored double figures in three of his four games as a Cavaliers and sent a crunching dunk over the head of noted Brooklyn shot blocker Jarrett Allen that sent the league into a gossip frenzy.
It's only a few games, but Mr.Chriss seems motivated to please and just might be a Cleveland steal

In boxing, Marcos Maidana has decided to return to the ring in what looks to be a bad decision.
Maidana looks like he's gained 75 pounds at least in photos and before he starts training, he's closer to heavyweight than his desired welterweight for his return.
Maidana has not fought since his loss to Floyd Mayweather in September 2014, so almost five years off isn't going to help Maidana very much, but his mauling style may age better than others.
I still would rank an all-Argentine brawl between Maidana and Lucas Matthysse as one of the top few fights that I would have loved to have seen that never happened.

The Chicago Cubs are starting their own network "Marquee Sports" in conjunction with Sinclair Broadcasting, who are so right wing that they make Fox News look moderate.
The Cubs expect to have games exclusively on Marquee for the 2020 season.
