In losing Gavin Lux to the Tampa Bay Rays in last night’s three-team deal (that looped in the Los Angeles Angels), the Cincinnati Reds did not really lose an infielder. They did not really lose an outfielder, either. They lost a left-handed bat. That’s what Lux had become on this particular Reds roster – no […]

Since the 2015 World Series Championship team, the Kansas City Royals have been shut out from claiming another division title.

The Philadelphia Flyers were a resilient team in the first half of the season. Through their first 41 games, the Flyers only lost consecutive games five times, and only one time were those back-to-back losses in regulation. Their longest losing streak was three games, but they earned a point in each of those losses against top teams in the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes. So when the Flyers dominated the Ducks again in a Trevor Zegras revenge game to end the first half o...

The makeshift 2021 Cubs, after a bad run for most of August, won 10 of 13 late that month and early September, then went on another long losing jag, losing 10 of 13 entering a doubleheader date with the Cardinals on Sept. 24. In 2021, as was the case in 2020, doubleheader games were limited […]

Previous Winner Ty Johnson, RHP24 | 6’6” | 205AA | 2.61 ERA, 2.33 FIP, 110.1 IP (26 G, 20 GS), 34.7% K, 8.8% BB A dip-and-drive pitcher with a quick arm action and a limited arsenal with a flat plane have given Johnson a reliever projection most of his minor league career, but his success […]

The Detroit Tigers draft strategy under Scott Harris has focused on prep talent and a few value plays for college players. That has left them looking for bargain development projects with their other picks in order to save the money to go overslot on their main targets. Right-hander Preston Howey fits that mold, receiving the […]

Waking up to the news that the Rays traded Josh Lowe was bittersweet. The first thing I wrote for DRaysBay was how excited I was about Josh Lowe heading into the 2023 season. The power and speed combo was exciting at the time, and the data suggested all he needed was an opportunity. Fast forward […]

Kyler Tucker, the top free agent on the market, just signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He signed a 4-year deal that pays him $60 million a year. Just like last offseason, the defending champs are pretty much buying an All-Star team. As much as some people do not want to admit it, the MLB […]

The mid-2000s were a strange time for the Yankees. The dynasty of the ‘90s engineered a hangover that lasted almost ten years, where the team regularly returned strong lineups but lacked the pitching depth or that elusive “clutch” gene. In some ways, Gary Sheffield might be the poster boy for this period — he never […]

Prior entries: The Braves haven’t had too fun of a time lately. Neither has Austin Riley. This isn’t a pure coincidence — a thermonuclear Austin Riley can carry a team for a month, and the Braves haven’t gotten that, for one reason or another, for a while.
