In March, Carroll, the centerpiece of the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks, agreed to an eight-year, $111 million contract, with a ninth-year team option. Carroll was terrible the first day, Gardner said, but took about 200 bunts the next day and improved. Carroll finished the 2022 season in the majors, after smashing 24 homers with a .611 slugging percentage in the minors. Over the winter, when he visited the Diamondbacks’ training complex in Scottsdale, Ariz., he asked Gardner if he could bunt some more. They worked together for five or six sessions, hundreds and hundreds of attempts.

☆ The Rays Are Better Than Everyone. At Everything.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays had just won again Tuesday night, but their architect was flustered by a small crack in the foundation. Erik Neander, the Rays’ president of baseball operations, wondered if any available veterans were lined up to start in the minors the next day. Anderson had pitched for a month in the Rays’ farm system last summer — and, most important, was lined up to start a morning game in Omaha in about 12 hours. The Rays made the requisite phone calls, got Anderson for cash considerations — “Maybe a dollar,” Neander said — and booked him on a 7 a.m. flight on Wednesday. That night, naturally, Anderson pitched three scoreless innings against Pittsburgh for his first career save in the majors.
