As discussed here and here, the Yankees’ bullpen has potential but is still, basically, a work in progress. Between this point and the start of the season, the team is quite likely to add at least one additional impact arm, whether it comes via trade, free agency, or after the spring training cuts have been […]

Heading into a baseball season, you have to think about depth, even when it’s not particularly pleasant to do so. Take the signing of veteran Dodgers’ catcher Austin Barnes for example. For Austin Barnes to have a meaningful impact on the 2026 season, something has gone wrong for either Luis Torrens or, more problematically, Francisco […]

This is an interesting time in the season for No. 19 Mizzou wrestling. The last three duals were all blowouts, two in favor of the Tigers and one as the victim against No. 5 Oklahoma State. There are three more duals left in the regular season, all against high-quality Big 12 opponents. Mizzou is coming […]

Let’s switch things up today and talk about a new baseball stadium in the Tampa Bay area that might actually get built. The Tampa Bay Rays have had quite the stadium saga.

15. Max Belyeu (293 points, 19 ballots) Belyeu (pronounced like the bear in The Jungle Book) was Colorado’s third pick of the 2025 draft, going 74th overall and signing for a slot bonus of $1.11 million. Rockies fans will naturally make comparisons between Belyeu and fellow Texas hit-over-power outfielder, Rockies draftee (in 2024’s second round), and […]

The Dodgers in December signed the best relief pitcher available on the market, with Edwin Díaz setting a new record for average annual value with his three-year, $69 million contract. The idea is that Díaz will solidify what was the Dodgers squeakiest wheel last season. We don’t have to look far to note how pitching […]

Of all the things I wish were better than they are, the World Baseball Classic is definitely one of them. The ongoing insurance-as-a-bar-to-participation debacle only underscores that missed potential. The roster reveals from yesterday, are, well… you get the idea, I think. Anyway, a short one since it’s Friday: who ya got? Japan has won […]

The Baltimore Orioles enter 2026 with plenty of questions, most notably in a starting rotation that lacks the depth and dominance it showed in 2024. With uncertainty on the mound, the offense will need to carry more of the load. That makes Jordan Westburg’s health and production pivotal to the team’s success. After a 2025 […]

It has been a very big week for the Tigers, indeed, or at least a very big week for the checkbooks in the front office. First the Tigers announced their deal with leftie Framber Valdez, one that proved the team was not afraid to shell out a decent chunk of change for a talented left-handed […]

Wednesday was a busy one for the Red Sox: the 40-man roster is full once more (IKF and Mickey Gasper) and the team is, presumably, set. There are question marks remaining, like where Marcelo Mayer will play or what level Triston Casas begins the season at, or if, at this late stage, they trade an […]

Author’s Note: I meant to post this before the second half tipped off on Thursday night, but my wifi crashed on Wednesday night, so I had to delay until I fixed that mess. Apologies, but cut me some slack — I only spend a million hours per year on this stupid low-major league. We’re at […]
