Cincinnati Reds 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes is off to a 3 for 34 start to the 2026 season. In 215 PA since coming over to the Reds from the Pittsburgh Pirates last summer, he’s the owner of a combined .208/.288/.297 (.585 OPS, 60 OPS+) line, and that was enough to make me dive back into the […]

That’s a team deciding to be aggressive. For an organization […]

Shōta Imanaga was absolutely magnificent Friday at Wrigley Field. He allowed just one baserunner, a two-out walk in the second inning. (More on that later.) He struck out nine. Imanaga had to be removed after six innings, having thrown 100 pitches. No one quibbles with that. He was the first Cubs pitcher to throw 100 […]

For the second straight year, the Pittsburgh Steelers are on Aaron Rodgers watch. And in the same vain, it is largely expected that Rodgers will join the Steelers for the 2026 season, much like it was a matter of when not if in 2025. Even with the optimism of a Rodgers return, there is no […]

That manager for this exercise is GM […]

Skenes, incidentally, currently has the highest ERA of any Pirates starter. Don’t expect that to be the case much longer, though. Austin […]

While it seems like deja vu from 2025, with the heavy expectation being that Aaron Rodgers will join the team at some point this spring/summer. Even so, he is still not on the team. And […]
