Your Morning Phil: Ryu, Jackson, April leaders
Talking baseball while hoping that it’s not a bad sign that the Blackhawks had to go into overtime to beat the Wild in their playoff opener: 1. Yoenis Cespedes was the guy last year.

A year later, what was point of Garza trade?
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — With a strong breeze blowing through the pine trees and palmetto bushes, the Tampa Bay Rays walked out of their clubhouse and down a stone path, headed toward back diamonds for practice.
