He joins loanees Will Keane and Ryan Nyambe, as well as fellow permanent arrival Haydon Roberts, in being recruited by the Royals this month.

Not even two weeks ago, the Braves ended up seeing lefty pitcher José Suarez get claimed off waivers by the Orioles after Atlanta had designated him for assignment. As fate would have it, Suarez’s time with the Orioles ended up being extremely short after the Orioles decided to DFA him last week after they claimed […]

The Tigers braved the frigid temps hitting much of the United States for a quick trip to Tuscaloosa, looking for their first top-10 road win since 2012. Long story short, they’ll have to wait a bit longer for that W, and honestly that doesn’t really matter. As head coach Shannon Welker has said — and […]

I know that the big league moves draw most of the attention – and, for good reason, since they are designed to generate most of the big league impact – but I have been very pleased by the Chicago Cubs’ front office continuing to supplement deeper within the organization throughout December and January. Plenty of reclamation pitching signings , as always, and a number of more development-inclined pitcher signings, too. There was also the Scott Kingery signing late last year as Triple-A dep...

Keith Law has released his updated Top 100 Prospects List on The Athletic, in an article found here. The only Atlanta Braves farmhand to make the list was Cam Caminiti, coming in at No. 35. This means prospects such as JR Ritchie, Didier Fuentes, and Owen Murphy came up shy of cracking the Top 100 […]

After the game, I was watching the SEC Network show waiting to rewatch the highlights and hear what the in studio hosts had to say. I think it was Pete Burns who was the host, and he said something along the lines of “this is one of the best basketball games I’ve watched in several […]

The Giants have reportedly signed outfielder Harrison Bader to a two-year deal, $20.5 million deal, that includes another $500,000 in incentives. The Royals had been reportedly interested in Bader earlier this offseason, but later reporting by Ken Rosenthal indicated they were being priced out on his market. Bader was coming off a career-best season at […]

Miles Mastrobuoni was the 26th man on the roster for most of his time with the Cubs in 2023 and 2024, a substitute fielder, pinch-hitter and pinch-runner. The Cubs were 14-10 after defeating the Padres April 27, but then went on a long losing skid, losing 10 of 15 entering the final game of a […]

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 […]

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...

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.

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...
