The Rays have done some shuffling among their infield group this offseason. Most notably, they traded away Brandon Lowe and have continued to prioritize bat-to-ball and plate skills over whiff-prone power bats. Gavin Lux was acquired as a stop gap at 2B, and Ben Williamson’s recent acquisition makes him the front runner to fill a […]

We are launching a new daily article here at South Side Sox, more prominently than our items that pop up on The Feed. It falls under the category of White Sox Discussions, which you’ll see in a few weeks will also be our new branding for Game Threads. Our Discussion series continues by addressing those […]

Last week, Red Sox fans Damon Campagna, Lily Rose Smith and Patrick Spaulding filed a class-action lawsuit against the team in U.S. District Court, alleging that it charged illegal junk fees from at least 2022 through 2024 and used “drip pricing” to inflate the stated costs for tickets. I believe them. To be clear, I […]

According to The Shredder, Max Muncy is #2 on their list, ahead of Manny Machado, Alex Bregman, and Bo Bichette, among others. That may come as a surprise to some fans, who complained about Muncy’s defense […]

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 […]

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 […]
