After another lost year, Adley Rutschman is at a crossroads

Take a trip back through the time with me, if you will, to May 21, 2022. That was the day that Adley Rutschman made his major league debut — and the fortunes of the Baltimore Orioles were forever changed. It had been a long, slow, painful rebuild for the Orioles, who at that point were […]

Should the Phillies pursue Alex Bregman?

In case you weren’t aware, it was reported earlier this week that the Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman would indeed be opting out of the remaining two years on his contract with Boston and will enter free agency.

We all owe Oli Marmol an apology after Mike Shildt drama

By now, everyone knows what just took place with former Cardinals manager Mike Shildt in San Diego and how it mirrors what led to him being fired in 2021. I have to say it’s nice to finally have some answers, but I don’t think I’m alone in that my opinion on the matter has changed. […]

OTM Open Thread 10/17: Vlad The Impaler

It wasn’t all that long ago when Red Sox fans were dreaming of Vlad Guerrero, Jr. hitting after Rafael Devers in the lineup, when Red Sox Twitter was awash in photoshops of Vladdy, Raffy, and Juan Soto (Juanny?) all wearing the red ‘B’.

Nestor German pitched like a future rotation candidate in 2025

Under Mike Elias, the Orioles are yet to invest major assets into big league pitching. Yes, they made the trade for Corbin Burnes heading into 2024, and they have ponied up some cash for one-year free agent deals, but those are relatively low stakes in the modern game.

Craig Breslow says the offseason is like a Choose Your Own Adventure book
