Good morning! MLB Network’s ongoing project to determine the 10 best players at each position continued yesterday, as they finally made it to the bullpen. And if you’re a Red Sox fan, this is what you want to see: Two Sox relievers on the list, with Aroldis Chapman taking the top spot. Not too shabby. […]

San Diego Padres pitchers and catchers reported to Peoria, Ariz. to open Spring Training for the 2026 season. Manager Craig Stammen, bench coach Randy Knorr and hitting coach Steven Souza Jr. all took questions from the media and at least sounded like they were on the same page. Position players Xander Bogaerts , Jackson Merrill, […]

Texas Rangers rumors: Jordan Montgomery is returning to Arlington on a one year deal for $1.25 million plus incentive bonuses, per Evan Grant. Montgomery, who is returning from Tommy John surgery, would presumably immediately go on the 60 day injured list. Montgomery, of course, was one of the heroes of the 2023 World Series team. […]

On Tuesday, Baseball Prospectus revealed their PECOTA projections for the 2026 season. The White Sox, like most teams, have had a long-standing beef with the system, having long in the past chronically underestimating performance. As a mathematical projection system, PECOTA is not without biases. But it’s math, man. So, as funny as this division looks, […]

There could be little else to start today’s news roundup with than general enthusiasm over the return of former Tigers’ ace Justin Verlander. Verlander, who accompanied the Tigers on both their last visits to the World Series, is winding down his Hall of Fame career, and seems to want to bring it back to where […]

They say you can never have too much pitching. The Orioles were reminded of that simple phrase during an injury-filled 2025 season. Mike Elias knows this. He knew it last year too, and he knew it all the way back in December 2023 when he signed a 34-year-old swingman that hadn’t pitched in the big […]

Alright, baseball nihilism time. Or, at least, pessimism, I guess. Back in December, reports on Spencer Schwellenbach’s health were good. Now, not so good. Very bad, really. Joe Jimenez was more of an expected outcome at this point. Much of the roster could more or less suffer the same turn of events…and Ha-Seong Kim already […]

Meet the Mets Christian Scott trained at the same facility as Max Scherzer this offseason, and Scherzer is still as intense as ever. Juan Soto will be making the move to left field this season. Francisco Lindor has a hamate bone injury, one which could require surgery with a six-week recovery period, which brushes up […]

As Orioles relief pitchers report to spring training this week, it’s largely the same crew that finished the 2025 season. And that’s a surprise. The expectation was that the O’s would be aggressive in reshaping their bullpen after trading away four veteran relievers last year and losing closer Félix Bautista to injury. Instead, the O’s […]

Just by the nature of doing a daily birthday post, we’re going to run into some days where there’s not a truly notable Yankee from history to profile. There are also going to be some days we run into where there’s more than one beloved player. However, today is definitely the former and not the […]

The Dodgers made a flurry of waiver claims over the past week, first by reclaiming outfielder Michael Siani from the New York Yankees while designating recent signee Andy Ibañez for assignment. The Dodgers then brought back catcher Ben Rortvedt off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds, and in doing so, they made the tough decision to […]

There, they’ll ease into throwing routines and conditioning ahead of full-squad workouts later this month with their first Cactus League game scheduled on Feb. 20 against the Chicago Cubs. For […]

On Friday night, just a few days before the New England Patriots attempt to assume their rightful position as the class of the NFL (narrator: they did not), I was doing what any 28-year-old man does on a Friday night: talking about relief pitching. As I was scrolling Twitter, I ran into a tweet from […]

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Tigers fans got an unexpected surprise yesterday when the team announced a one-year deal with Justin Verlander. Verlander, who began his career in Detroit, was a beloved former ace for the club, and the reunion—that might be more of a farewell tour—feels like an appropriate next chapter for both Verlander and the […]

THIS IS A GUEST ROCKPILE BY EVAN LIU (@evanliu.bsky.social) Unfortunately, the Colorado Rockies have been an afterthought in MLB in terms of competitiveness. The only way they garnered national attention was by going on massive losing streaks and contending for the worst record in MLB history. Just one mile down Blake Street at Ball Arena, […]

As we approach Spring Training and the beginning of the season, we’re going to be doing some questions for y’all about your thoughts about the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general!

It has been a long winter — and who are we kidding, most of us are in Wisconsin, where it may yet feel like winter for another two months — but we’ve finally made it to the first real day on the 2026 baseball calendar. Brewers’ pitchers and catchers report to spring training today, and […]

Good morning, all! It’s a welcome day in Yankeeland, as pitchers and catchers officially report to spring training today. Of course, that oft-cited countdown following the last out of the World Series only means so much since plenty were already in camp a little early and dudes jogging around and lifting weights hardly feels like […]

On Tuesday, it was announced that pitcher Justin Verlander had signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Tigers, reuniting him with the team that drafted him a mere 22 years ago. Verlander was traded from Detroit to Houston in 2017, where he won a pair of World Series, before joining the San Francisco Giants last […]
