Adam Ottavino (P - NYY)
7/17/26 8:01 PM - MLB restricts dugout iPad use to prevent AI help with strategy. Ottavino says Mets were involved. Major League Baseball is restricting iPad usage in dugouts to prevent artificial intelligence from influencing game decisions. Former reliever and current broadcaster Adam Ottavino said the New York Mets' use of technology helped prompt the move. The tablets, which have access to video and league data, had custom tabs for other programs. MLB made those tabs inaccessible starting Wednesday night. The change aims to stop AI from influencing decisions traditionally made by players and coaches. Yankees captain Aaron Judge expressed surprise at teams using AI. Ottavino noted the Mets' significant investment in AI, which MLB has now curtailed.

Jake Bennett (P - BOS)
7/17/26 9:40 AM - Jake Bennett: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player. While the players take the week off during the All-Star break, those of us here at Razzball get no break, so welcome back to another Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player entry. This week I am highlighting left-handed pitcher Jake Bennett. Bennett has had a very production rookie season with the Boston Red Sox and has been a bright spot in the Boston rotation. He does not wow anyone with his fastball, but he gets hitters out and that is the name of the game when it comes to pitching. Let's dive in and take a look at Bennett, an up-and-coming dynasty player.
