With the start of the World Baseball Classic, many Mariners are on loan to their respective national teams. As such, get ready to see some weird looks from the M’s as the organization gives some unusual opportunities to top prospects. One of those unusual looks is right hander Cooper Criswell. The pitcher was in the […]

Third base, the gig for March 27th and beyond, has no shortage of candidates. It’s the A’s handling of the positional battle that is puzzling. To wit: Max Muncy Muncy appears, as best one can tell, to be the front runner and yet his spring training showing (at least on radio where admittedly my eyes […]

The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates may well be National League Central rivals, but that hasn’t stopped them from swinging notable trades of late. Last summer, we saw the deal that sent Ke’Bryan Hayes from the Bucs down river to the Queen City, and on Wednesday evening we saw yet another deal between the two […]

While there is still a relatively small sample size, we’ve played enough Spring Training games to begin to get an idea of what players are impressing and which ones aren’t. In my attempt to be a more positive person (work in progress), I’ll ask the question who has been the most impressive player during St. […]

Included in the Dodgers’ 7-5 win over Mexico in Wednesday’s exhibition at Camelback Ranch were a few performances that can’t help but be viewed with an eye toward the regular season. Each of Andy Pages’ seven previous starts this spring were in center field, so he got to stay off his feet a bit on […]

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 […]

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 […]
