So, the Washington Nationals have a new pitching coach and his name is Simon Mathews. That is right, only one T in Mathews. At 30 years old, he continues the trend of the Nationals hiring young.

The tortured Scott Boras puns have become fun at this point, haven’t they? We expect them from the super-agent at any of these national baseball gatherings, and he delivers the two-parts corny, one-part clever zingers while holding court with the media. And, occasionally, he mixes in some actually useful info. Boras spoke today at the GM Meetings in Las Vegas, and I’ll start with the useful info: Boras said that Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai will be posted November 19, starting his 45-da...

Among all of the other offseason discourse, a question looms large: “What’s the best thing to do about Jarren Duran?” The Sox just came to an agreement on a new salary number with him, but there’s still a definite chance he gets traded away. Would keeping him make more sense, or would trading him be […]

The hit by Luis Salazar that won this day’s game might have been the single play that cemented the NL East title for the Cubs in 1989. To understand that statement, a little context is needed. Salazar had been acquired in trade just 10 days earlier from the Padres. It was just his ninth game […]

There isn’t all that much for Jays’ news, which isn’t a surprise. John Schneider came in second for the Manager of the Year award. A lot of us figured he would win, because he took the Jays from last to first in the AL East. Of course, he was the manager when they finished last […]

Like with the Academy Awards, sometimes the committee gets it right and sometimes it leaves you dumbfounded as to how a group of people convened for the sole purpose of having good judgment can see things so differently from you.

MLB Rumors — Man, the GM Meetings are absolutely ripping with MLB rumors this year. Much more than usual.

Heading into the final day before the trade deadline this season, the 2025 Yankees had a lot of question marks, but none loomed larger than the bullpen, both for 2025 and beyond.

Cue the sounds of shattering glass, or perhaps the whomp whomp of a sad trombone. The dreams of a College Football Playoff berth are now down the drain for Mizzou. After a 38-17 loss at home to Texas A&M last weekend, the Tigers’ season has reached a turning point. A season that began with championship […]

The Athletics Nation Season In Review series continues this morning with a pitcher that made just four relief appearances for the A’s. Though maybe they should have kept him around longer after he switched teams midseason. He really seemed to run away with his chance at starting, something that the A’s could have used more […]

Folks who know me well may know that I typically have about 30 to 50 tabs open on my computer at any given time (sadly, not an exaggeration (current count: 43)). There’s just always stuff I want to read, stuff I might want to include in a post, and stuff that might later trigger a new post idea. One tab I’ve had open for weeks is Angels outfielder Jo Adell’s FanGraphs page . At the end of the season, I was just kinda trolling around looking at season performances I hadn’t noticed as they ...

Major League Baseball officially calls the player who begins the inning during regular season extra inning games the “automatic runner” in the rules. That is an objectively boring name. Baseball fans have dubbed this player the “ghost runner,” which is far more interesting, even if it’s not technically accurate; they’re just as real as any […]
