Takeaways

Injuries to key players, such as Gerrit Cole, Devin Williams, and Danny Jansen, could have a significant impact on their respective teams.

The signing of JD Davis by the A's after his arbitration case with the Giants highlights the changing dynamics between teams and agents.

The spring breakout games showcased impressive performances from players like Spencer Jones, Xavier Isaac, Jace Jung, Ceddanne Raffaella, Jordan Lawlar, and Marcelo Mayer.

The possibility of Shohei Ohtani playing in the outfield raises questions about the risk involved and the impact on his performance as a pitcher.

Overall, the spring breakout games were a success, despite some issues like hit batters and outfielders struggling with routine fly balls.
