Their pitchers held the opposition to six hits, just one (a double) for extra bases, and a pair of walks. The sole run came against former (and […]
The Cubs got some good pitching performances Wednesday afternoon against the Brewers, but a potentially even bigger story was four ABS challenges made by Moisés Ballesteros, all of which he got right! That’s a skill that can definitely translate to MLB regular season games. Perhaps there’s hope for Ballesteros to do some MLB catching after […]
Tonight, the Nationals are taking part in an exciting and unique exhibition. They are facing Team Venezuela as they get ready for the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

In the cage match known as the American League East, the Tampa Bay Rays stand apart — and not for a good reason. After more than half a decade as regular contenders in the Junior Circuit, including two AL East titles and a trip to the 2020 World Series, the Rays have fallen to the […]
Ask any Pittsburgh Pirates fan about the team this season and there’s likely a different tone to the conversation then years before. The Pirates finished 2025 as a 71-91 club, depressing by five wins from the previous two seasons. Don Kelly was promoted to manager to replace Derek Shelton, but the front office remained the […]

On two separate occasions the Cincinnati Reds have turned to Hunter Greene to start for them on Opening Day, first back in 2023 and again in 2025. He’s the undisputed ace of their staff, a former #2 overall draft pick who was long assumed to be a frontline starter for any team that lucked into […]
The Jets need to find a starting quarterback in 2026. There aren’t many quality options on the market.

What’s the best way for a young top prospect to introduce himself to a national baseball audience before making his MLB debut? Is it gaudy minor-league numbers? Is it College World Series heroics? Is it highlight plays or eye-popping Statcast numbers on the backfields? What about homering off of one of the most dominant starters […]
The calendar has barely turned to March and we’ve already had a Francisco Lindor hamate surgery, dominant early performances from Nolan McLean and Freddy Peralta, a chess club, and a Soto shuffle. And now, in addition to all of that, we will be kicking off our annual King of Spring Training contest, in which we […]
For the 2026 Chicago White Sox, the arrival of Opening Day isn’t just a celebration of a new season; it’s also a deadline for a game of “Roster Tetris.” With a front office focused on a deep rebuild, the team finds itself with a critical mass of “bubble players.” Guys who are talented enough to […]
In a proceeding that attempted to redefine “exhibition, nonetheless televised for your enjoyment or something like it,” the Braves routed Team Colombia as a warm-up before the latter proceeds into World Baseball Classic play later this week. It’s tempting to describe Team Colombia’s efforts in this game as “going through the motions,” but that wouldn’t […]
The offseason is almost in full swing, and while good teams like the Los Angeles Rams go all-in on things, for better or worse, the Arizona Cardinals are… Well they may or may not get to things. Today, Jonathan Jones of CBS reported the team could be willing to part with incumbent starter Jacoby Brissett […]
Cardinals News So… is Jacoby Brissett Arizona’s Starting Quarterback now? The Cardinals enter the 2026 offseason with a quarterback room that is more question mark than exclamation point, but at least the picture is becoming clearer.

Go get ‘em, Edward.
Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski was back in training on Wednesday after missing the Copa del Rey tie against Atletico due to a fractured eye socket.

After yesterday’s excursion into international waters, normal, Cactus League service resumes this afternoon for the D-backs with a relatively short trip to Hohokam Park. The D-backs come into this game with a four-game winning streak (not including yesterday, obvs), not having lost a regular pre-season game in a week. It’s the offense who has been […]
Today the Texas Rangers invite the World Baseball Classic squad from Brazil to Surprise, AZ for a tune-up. The game may seem even more exhibition-y than a regular Cactus League contest, but it is noteworthy for Texas in that both former New York Mets favorites Jacob deGrom and Brandon Nimmo will be making their 2026 […]
The Phillies will embark soon on a season that is under some rather intense scrutiny. It’s not just the fanbase that is expecting some results this year when it comes how and where the team ultimately finishes, it’s national media as well. Look around at different people talking about who is on the hot seat […]
The Dodgers take a break from Cactus League action to host Team Mexico on Wednesday. It’s one of 15 games across Arizona and Florida on Wednesday with a World Baseball Classic team tuning up by playing a major league team.
