The JJ Wetherholt hype train continues to pick up steam as the St. Louis Cardinals get closer to Spring Training as Keith Law has just ranked him as the #7 prospect in baseball plus he makes a bold prediction about his future. Ken Rosenthal shared the news of Keith’s top 100 prospect list which was […]

Monday Also in action: Tuesday Also in action: Wednesday Thursday Friday Also in action: That’s it! Did I miss anything that […]
Prospect list season continued on Monday with the release of Keith Law’s top 100 list at The Athletic. His list joins recently-published ones by Baseball America and MLB Pipeline. Five Orioles minor leaguers made the cut for Law’s list this year, headlined by Samuel Basallo at #8. Basallo has been a top ten prospect in […]
While most of the players the Nationals received in the MacKenzie Gore trade are years away from the big leagues, Abimelec Ortiz is an exception. He may not possess the upside or athleticism of other players in the deal, but Ortiz has proven he can mash. At some point in 2026, we are likely to […]
Real Madrid are two Bournemouth games away from losing any rights they currently hold over Bournemouth’s breakout star and former Castilla player Alex Jimenez, according to The Athletic. Jimenez joined Bournemouth on loan from AC Milan in the summer, and has amassed 1382 minutes in the Premier League so far. The player is two appearances […]
In an NHL rarity, the New York Rangers and New York Islanders are about to pull off a trade. According to a report from insider Vince Mercogliano of The Athletic, the Rangers will be sending pending unrestricted free agent defenceman Carson Soucy to the Isles. I'm hearing #NYR are on the verge of their first move of the retool. A trade that sends Carson Soucy to the #Isles is brewing. No official announcement yet as they work out the particulars, but expect him to be held out of the lineup ton...
As reported last week with the Baseball America news, end of January means updated prospect list and just like that we saw MLB Pipeline drop their updated Top 100. Last week we saw JR Ritchie come in at No. 84 overall, while Cam Caminiti rose all the way up to No. 53 for Baseball America. […]
Arnaldo Lantigua rocketed to spot #10 after adding his name to the list of existing top prospects. Maybe that’ll be the case again with spot #11 in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings! Per usual, here’s a link to the Google Form where you can vote, though it should be embedded at the end of the […]
I guess the Cleveland Browns and HC Kevin Stefanski’s detailed plan for QB Shedeur Sanders worked in 2025. While Stefanski and the Browns hoped that Sanders would sit all season behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and/or Dillon Gabriel, that didn’t happen. Instead, poor play, two trades, and an injury led to Sanders playing in eight […]
The San Francisco Giants have had an offseason that lives at the margins of the roster, signing a steady back-end starter in Adrian Houser, a fringier bounce-back play in Tyler Mahle, and OK relievers in Jason Foley and Sam Hentges. They also hired a new manager in Tony Vitello, of course, and that may well prove to be the most impactful move of the offseason. In free agency, it’s more at the margins: Free-agent outfielder Harrison Bader in agreement with Giants on two-year contract,...
It’s been a hard year and we’re still in January. I’ve been working on some stuff. Researching. Hitting the archives. Looking for lost media. The digital world is an interesting place. The saying was, at one point, “the internet is forever” but now we know linkrot is a plague for the internet as websites shut […]
Current New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh will forever be linked with the DMV after his long tenure as coach of the Baltimore Ravens. And those ties shone through over the weekend. Harbaugh’s first official hire as Giants head coach was bringing in former Maryland cornerback and safety Dennard Wilson to be the team’s […]
We’ve definitely hit a lull here in the offseason — one where no news is good news as you hope that players and coaches are continuing to make personal preparations for the season while hopefully avoiding pratfalls such as, oh, I don’t know, slipping on ice or something like that. As such, this is a […]
This weekend, Michael discussed the new MLB Pipeline top-100 prospects list, which largely matched the Baseball America list that had dropped a couple days earlier . Namely, the Chicago Cubs have two prospects in the top-100, Moises Ballesteros and Jaxon Wiggins. Lots of recent graduates, some trades, some stalling out, and a lack of huge breakouts from deeper in the draft or in International Free Agency over the last five years have left the Cubs’ system relatively thin on impact-caliber tale...
If I’m being honest, baseball has not been top of mind for most folks in Twins Territory the past few weeks. It was a relatively busy week for the Twins, though, with the Twins Caravan in full swing around the state and surrounding areas, TwinsFest this past weekend, and the reunion with an old friend. […]
We’re back this week with more Photos of the Week! Wrestling gets its first feature as the Tigers fell to Oklahoma State 33-3 at home on Friday. Men’s basketball faced Oklahoma on Saturday in an overtime thriller topped off with not one but two buzzer beater threes amid rumors of cancellation due to weather. Apart […]
There are three Blue Jays on Keith Law’s Top 100 Prospect list. You can likely guess who they are: Among the things Law said: ….throwing both from a very high slot that gives the fastball more riding life and more generally makes it harder for hitters to pick the ball up out of his hand. […]
Third in the series. Today we look at the Cubs’ young DH/C/1B. In previous episodes, we looked at the Cubs’ two catchers, Miguel Amaya and Carson Kelly, indulged in a little speculation, and had video of some of their exploits. As we move on to the rest of the roster, it seems reasonable to look […]
Since the start of the baseball’s amateur draft, high school players have always been eligible. Selecting a young player out of high school and offering him enough money to forego college was just one of the ways to ensure an organization secured top-notch talent. If that player agreed to a deal, which included a signing […]
Special teams has been a major area of concern the last two seasons for Mizzou, and a vocal point of frustration among the fanbase. After consecutive years of inconsistent play that cost the team in some close games, the Tigers took major steps to fix the problem by allowing Erik Link’s contract to expire and […]
Last week, even as the Cubs were signing outfielder Chas McCormick to a minor league deal, Dylan Carlson was spotted working out in Arizona with the team . Fair to wonder, then, whether the Cubs were also going to try to bring in Carlson on a minor league deal as additional depth/upside/bench competition. Greg Zumach hears that, yes, Carlson is coming: There was some ambiguity about whether the Cubs would sign Dylan Carlson with Chas McCormick and Justin Dean in the organization, but...

Weather update – the game will be played as scheduled. Duke’s road victory over Louisville comes with an unfortunate asterisk: the Cardinals’ best player, freshman Mikel Brown Jr., was inactive. In fact, Brown had missed all of Louisville’s ACC action before playing in their win Saturday over Virginia Tech. Brown certainly performed like a player […]
Our CPL continues on this bright and beautiful morning and the third spot in our community’s rankings goes to another left-hander in Gage Jump. The Athletics’ second round pick last year had an amazing first season in the professional ranks, starting the year in High-A before getting promoted to Double-A, where he spent the majority […]
