Good morning, baseball fans! As we approach Spring Training and the beginning of the season, we’re going to be doing some questions for y’all about your thoughts about the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general! Today’s question is kind of an odd one, but interesting to examine, at least for me. Which season changed […]

The Detroit Tigers family lost a legend on Wednesday with the death of 1968 World Series hero Mickey Lolich, who passed away at the age of 85. The departure of the all-time great leaves the fanbase in remembrance of a brilliant career that saw the southpaw throw 3,638 1/3 MLB innings, striking out 2,832 hitters […]

Mike Petriello at MLB has a great article about how moving the fences at the K may help the Royals. Consider this: That’s approximately four homers more per season for Perez over the past half-decade. He’s played the equivalent of 12 full seasons, counting partial years across his 14-year career. Were you to apply four […]

If you’re reading this in the future without context, probably unneeded in the present, here is some. In the time between when the vote for Jimmy Crooks went out and this current post, Brendan Donovan was traded for multiple prospects, one of whom may have been included on the top 20 list already if this […]

When Freddy Peralta was traded from the Brewers, we lost not only a beloved franchise hero, but we also lost one interesting storyline from the season: had Peralta remained a Brewer and been healthy throughout the season, he would’ve passed Yovani Gallardo as the franchise’s all-time leader in strikeouts. As it stands, Peralta is instead […]

Continuing our February Daily Question series, we’re beginning today’s conversation with the question, “When did you become a tried and true Brewer fan? For me, someone born at the turn of the century, I (thankfully) haven’t had to endure many terrible seasons. I fell in love with baseball when I was five, but moreso from […]

Giancarlo Stanton sits 47 home runs away from 500 for his career, that nice round number that counts for quite a bit in Hall of Fame discussion. It does feel like that chase will come right down to the wire, with Stanton’s contract running through the 2027 season but with some kind of labor stoppage […]

Sources say Owen Miller has signed an MiLB agreement with the Cubs. He’s a lifetime backup with positional versatility and a .238/.287/.342 slash, with a lifetime -0.8 bWAR (0.7 fWAR) in MLB. Marquee Sports Network hasn’t offered any new content since the Convention. It makes me wonder. Like I wonder how people post articles on […]

The Artemi Panarin trade didn’t just come down to cap math and a no-move clause. It came down to who the New York Rangers wanted back. Multiple reports indicate New York took a big swing in talks with the San Jose Sharks and Washington Capitals , pushing for elite young pieces before ultimately pivoting to a deal with the Los Angeles Kings right before the Olympic trade freeze. Artemi Panarin trade talks hit a wall with Will Smith and Ryan Leonard The Rangers’ stance was that if a ...

This intro was originally going to be about how the Pirates were having an interesting offseason after being connected to Kyle Schwarber earlier this winter and with Ken Rosenthal saying they were making an aggressive push for Framber Valdez yesterday. Then the Tigers went and signed Valdez, so the Pirates offseason of “No Paul, we’re […]

Hello, friends. There are now 49 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. That’s seven weeks from today that we’ll be back to real baseball. I’m not so sure we’ll be rid of the snow piles by then. WBC pitchers and catchers are four days away from reporting, with the rest of the pitchers and catchers […]

The Arizona Cardinals took their time and found the one guy they decided was the best fit to lead this franchise going forward: former Los Angeles Rams OC Mike LaFleur. He had his first press conference as the newly-hired Cardinals head coach on Tuesday, February 3, along with GM Monti Ossenfort. RELATED: GRADE THE HIRE […]

As a Pittsburgh Pirates fan who is younger than 50-years-old, there has not been a lot of marquee moments from the club in my lifetime. While it was incredible watching the Pirates return to the postseason and earn an NL Wild Card win over the rival Cincinnati Reds, I’ve gotta say it just wasn’t enough. […]

So, the Yankees are running it back 2026. As frustrating as that will feel to many (cue the “getting Gerrit Cole back is like trading for an ace!” proclamations from Yankee brass), there is reason to be optimistic about the strategy. The team that they’re running went an MLB-best 32-12 down the stretch, and at […]

1903 The Crosstown rivalry began, as the White Sox and Cubs announced plans to play their first games ever against one another. The series blossomed into the postseason City Series, which thrived almost yearly for four decades. However, as reported on this day, the City Series was intended to include preseason as well as postseason […]

This week, I had the chance to speak with longtime Notre Dame athletic trainer Mike Bean about a problem he spent decades watching athletes struggle through—and the solution he eventually built himself. After 36 years with Notre Dame student-athletes across baseball, men’s and women’s soccer, hockey, tennis and for the last 30 years football, Bean had […]

It was a good day for people interested in prospects, as our prospect team continues to roll out their best-in-industry Braves top 30 prospects list and we got Atlanta’s list of non-roster Spring Training invites. I will say that I was a bit disappointed at the absence of Cam Caminiti on the non-roster invites list, […]

MLB.com | Brian Murphy: The Yankees have a very similar team to the one that they ran in 2025, meaning that they have to be confident that they’ll see improvement in at least a few key areas to get them over the hump. They’re got a few candidates to step up, including ones that began […]

There’s still a lot that will take place between now and Opening Day on March 26. With just over a month to go, the San Diego Padres’ only meaningful pickups so far this offseason have been the re-signing of Michael King, the signing of KBO star Sung-Mun Song and the latest addition of free agent […]

Notre Dame traveled to Kentucky on Wednesday night to take on an ACC rival, the Louisville Cardinals, and despite playing tough in spots — they just couldn’t get over the hump to even get in position to win this game. Also… they couldn’t even get the book right. Late Louisville Scoring Run Dooms Irish, Falling […]

Baseball insider Jon Heyman has reported the San Diego Padres and outfielder Miguel Andujar have agreed on a one-year, $4 million deal. The 31-year-old can earn $2 million more if he reaches performance bonuses. The move bolsters the Padres’ bench with a proven right-handed stick. Andujar joins the mix as a candidate for the right-handed […]

Spring training is right around the corner, and the Rockies roster looks a lot different than it did at the end of the 2025 season that culminated in 119 losses and just 43 wins. There were numerous reasons the Rockies lost 119 games, as has been written about ad nauseam, but some of the biggest […]

The Athletic’s Real Madrid correspondent Mario Cortegana published a report summarising Real Madrid’s activity this winter window (it was none), and there are some tidbits worth knowing as a Liverpool FC fan. In the section that looks ahead to Madrid’s potential summer business, it is mentioned that while Carlo Ancelotti was still Real Madrid manager, […]
