After a series of decisions at the end of the 2025 season, the Red Sox quickly went from a plethora to a dearth of left-handed pitchers, almost overnight. Justin Wilson, who spent a year in Boston, and Steven Matz, who was acquired at the trade deadline, were both free agents at season’s end. Then, at […]
Barcelona head to Espanyol for their first La Liga game of 2026 in what promises to be a big game for many reasons. Hansi Flick’s side head into the game on top of the pile in La Liga, but Espanyol have been enjoying a fine season too and currently sit in fifth place in the […]
If one recalls the halycon days of September 19, 2024, Shohei Ohtani established the first 50/50 club with aplomb against the Miami Marlins at the sociological nightmare that is loanDepot Park. One might recall that a scrum broke out where the historic home run ball landed, and, to settle that dispute in the most American […]
He won’t light up the scoresheet, but EJ Emery is quietly becoming exactly what the Rangers drafted him to be—a true shutdown defenseman.
In Mariners news… Around the league…
The Washington Nationals are painfully light on experience. From the front office, to the coaching staff and the players, there are not many proven commodities. This is both exciting and somewhat concerning. As we get deeper into the offseason, the need for veteran leadership has become more glaring. We have talked a lot about the […]
Morning everyone and welcome to a brand new week! We got a Christmas present this year when the Athletics announced that they’d locked up left fielder Tyler Soderstrom for the foreseeable future with a contract extension. That should hopefully be the first of several that the front office issues out to the younger core guys. […]
The Missouri Tigers were looking for their third straight bowl win in three straight seasons in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on Saturday night against No. 19 Virginia. Unfortunately, that wasn’t meant to be as Mizzou fell to UVA by the final score of 13-7 in a low scoring affair — ending an otherwise underwhelming season […]
Earlier this month, Pete Alonso left New York for Baltimore when he signed a five-year deal worth $155 million with the Orioles. He left behind a lasting legacy in Flushing, one that includes establishing himself as the franchise’s all-time home run leader, both for a single season (53) and for his career (264). While one […]
The Cubs haven’t made any major signings to date this offseason. This, you know. Not bringing you any new information here. Jed Hoyer and Co., however, have signed a flurry of new relief pitchers to the staff. As of the time of this post, one of those signings has not yet been officially announced by […]
Over the last couple of weeks, Camden Chat’s writers have been looking back on what we thought were some of the biggest single storylines of the year for the Orioles. There were many to choose from, big and small. As the year 2025 is on its way out, I’m going to share one more set […]
The White Sox have set the table for an interesting trade with this offseason’s transactions. Rule 5 Draft additions and Chicago’s signings of infielder/DH Munetaka Murakami and pitcher Sean Newcomb maxes out the 40-man roster while upgrading key positions. With a flurry of new talent expected to flood the field in 2026, the Sox must […]
Kazuma Okamoto is the next position player from Japan expected to sign with an MLB team and there are some prognosticators who believe he will be a better major league player than Masataka Murakami who recently signed a two-year, $34 million deal with the Chicago White Sox. Okamoto has to sign a deal prior to […]

We finish our trip through the diamond in right field. Ironically, the combined output by the two primary right fielders is one of the more disappointing parts of the 2025 season, but these two players might be a biggest part of the hope for growth. Ultimately, where this team goes depends greatly on where these […]
Just a few more days left of having to catch myself when trying to reference the previous season and the following season, without simply being able to say “this year” or “last year” in a very clean and easy way. It’s TBD what it’ll actually mean , but The Athletic is reporting that, “The expectation is for Baltimore to remain in the market for starting pitching help” even after re-signing Zach Eflin last night . My hope is that they’re out, so that they aren’t additional competition on...
From now until the end of the year, Camden Chat writers will be revisiting some of the biggest moments and storylines of the disappointing 2025 Orioles season. The Orioles and Dodgers had very different seasons. One team stumbled all over itself to begin the year, fired their manager, dealt with a ridiculous number of injuries, […]
There are certain things in life that are just a certainty. Marrying for love will always trump marrying for money. Change will always exist. Mankind will continue to seek the meaning of life. The love of a mother never wavers. No such thing as being too kind to others. And that last Oreo will get […]
Team news [SI] Diamondbacks 2026 Projections Reveal Some Surprises – The bullpen is projected to get positive contributions from many of the young relievers acquired in trade at the 2025 trade deadline, as well as previous internal options. Below table is sorted by projected innings pitched. The 4.01 projected ERA would represent an incredible improvement […]
It’s still the offseason in MLB, a slow slog towards spring training. We usually think of the winter meetings as the time when most of the action occurs, yet here we are on December 29 and there are still a ton of free agents that need a home before equipment trucks depart for Arizona and […]
Good morning. Evan Grant explains his Hall of Fame ballot. Paul Casella notes that Andrew Heaney — one of only a few people in human history to be the winning pitcher in a World Series game for the Texas Rangers — is calling it a career. Grant notes that the Rangers signed veteran right hander […]
Good morning! Bobby Dalbec, the Red Sox once and future first baseman, is out of Major League Baseball. After playing in just seven games with the White Sox last year, Dalbec signed a one-year deal with the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants, one of the most successful and famous clubs in the sport. Nippon Professional Baseball is […]
Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Next up, a future Hall of Famer who is still hanging on. There are Top 50 free agent lists complied […]
Meet the Mets The 2025 Mets are dead and the 2026 Mets are dormant for now, so the official team YouTube uploaded a full Mike Piazza at-bat from the summer of 2001 which eventually ends in a walk-off home run. A few years of waiting after a trash can-adjacent cheating scheme blew his shot at […]
