Growing up in the 1990s, Twins baseball was Kirby Puckett and Kirby Puckett was Twins baseball to me. Far before I knew the meaning behind the guys running around in funny pajamas or why we waved white hankies to cheer them on, I knew Kirby Puckett. It was the name. The smile. The way he […]

At The Athletic ($), Keith Law published his 2026 Royals Top 20 Prospects list. When the Royals took Jensen out of a Kansas City high school in the third round in 2021, his body wasn’t great and the assumption was he’d move out from behind the plate and just go be a power-hitting DH, but […]

When something transcends its own arena, gauging its greatness becomes a very difficult thing. As a film lover, I have found it difficult to assess something like The Godfather fairly — it has almost become its own island within the artform, people joke about it without having seen it, and it is held on a […]

THIS IS A GUEST ROCKPILE BY ANTHONY DEPNER While the 2025 Colorado Rockies will mainly be remembered negatively, two players who stood out as bright spots were Victor Vodnik and Jordan Beck.

Happy Friday, everyone. In arbitration news, two-time Cy Young-winning pitcher Tarik Skubal proved why it’s worth it to know your value. He and the Detroit Tigers did not see eye-to-eye when arbitration came around, with the team offering him only $19 million to the $32 million he estimated he was worth. The Tigers notoriously do […]

Our newest writer, John Latham, had an interesting look at The Cardinals’ 2026 Roster and the Cost of Choosing Too Slowly. It got me to thinking about how things might look after the 2026 season is over and it is time to revamp the 40-man roster again. It can pay to look down the road […]

Well, baseball is coming soon. How soon? Depends on what you mean by baseball. Do you mean pitchers and catchers reporting? Or does baseball start when the whole team reports? Or is it when the games start? When the games that mean something start? And if it’s the games that mean something, do you count […]

1912 In a brilliant move, the White Sox purchased first baseman Jack Fournier from Boston. Fournier would go on to play six seasons in Chicago, with a 5.9 WAR peak in 1915 (a season in which he led the AL with a .491 slugging percentage). After the re-acquisition of Chick Gandil for the 1917 season, […]

But is […]
