Two days ago the Los Angeles Angels came to terms with third baseman Yoan Moncada, bringing back a decent hitter with major health questions hovering over him. Moncada was a potential […]

I am thinking of a pitcher. He made 17 starts early in his career and the results were not good: 5.49 ERA, 1.341 WHIP, his teams were 5-12 in those 17 games. Then this pitcher was traded — twice in one offseason, incidentally — and converted to relief. Almost immediately he became a dominant closer, […]

25. Michael Prosecky (89 points, 12 ballots) When the Rockies signed Prosecky to a slightly over-slot $300k bonus after drafting him in the sixth round in 2022, most observers thought the left-handed pitcher would be ticketed for the bullpen. After all, that’s where the 6’3” hurler had distinguished himself in college as Louisville’s closer. Instead, […]

Missouri continues its rebuild as the transfer portal narrows down with the wide receiver room being a clear point of emphasis for Tigers’ coach Eli Drinkwitz. The team added a fourth receiver to its depleted room in Minnesota wideout Kenric Lanier. Lanier joins Florida WR Naeshaun Montgomery, Cincinatti WR Caleb Goodie and Auburn WR Horatio […]

Recent transactions and discussions in baseball have turned attention back to the age-old complaints about wealth disparities that have plagued Major League Baseball forever. It’s hard to tell whether the current situation is meaningfully different, historically speaking, or if this is simply the same debate we’ve been having my entire life. Still, there are a […]

It’s no secret that the Mets were looking for rotation help this winter. Mets’ starters posted a 4.13 ERA and a 3.95 FIP last season, which doesn’t look so terrible on the surface until you zoom into the latter half of the year. After June 13 (the day after Kodai Senga suffered the injury that […]

Chase Petty did not have a good 2025 season. At the big league level, he was roughed up for 14 R (13 ER) in just 6.0 IP, with a trio of long balls yielded – and walked more (8) than he struck out (7). Down at AAA Louisville, he was tagged for 91 R (80 […]

Jake Cronenworth has been talked about as a potential trade piece for the past couple of seasons. He has value in that he can play multiple positions and is steady at the plate. For now, Cronenworth is projected to be the second baseman for the San Diego Padres on opening day although that could change […]

Having lost his starting place to new signing Milos Kerkez over the summer, it has seemed something of a foregone conclusion that Liverpool left back Andy Robertson would move on at the end of the 2025-26 season when the 31-year-old’s contract expires. Now, though, it appears an earlier departure is possible. Though far from certain […]

In 2017, starters averaged five and a half innings per start. Now, there’s no such thing as half an inning, but that’s the beauty of math. That number dipped slightly in 2018, to 5.4 innings per start. Even ignoring 2020, where teams felt more comfortable and/or harried into just getting through the 60-game season, the […]
