Meet the Mets The Mets have reportedly upped their offer to four years for All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker. Mark your calendars!

Rance Mulliniks turns 70 today. Rance was one of my favourite players because he seemed to get the absolute most out of his natural abilities. He wasn’t big or fast. He wore glasses. A left-handed hitter, geeky looking, wore glasses. How could I not like him? You didn’t think ‘professional athlete’ when you looked at […]

The Miami Dolphins were interested in John Harbaugh — but John Harbaugh was not interested in the Miami Dolphins. Late on Wednesday night, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that former longtime Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and the New York Giants were working towards finalizing a deal that would bring the Super Bowl winning […]

Today marks the beginning of MLB’s 2026 international prospects signing period, as all 30 teams can now freely vie for the top amateur talent across the globe. Of course, verbal agreements with a number of prospects have likely already been reached, so even as the period only just opens on January 15th, we’re likely to […]

Over the weekend, the Chicago Cubs made a free-agent splash that they haven’t made in some time when they signed third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million deal. It is the largest contract by average annual value in the Cubs’ history, and the third-largest in terms of total value, behind the eight-year deal […]

Good morning, baseball fans! Earlier this week, former San Francisco Giants outfielder Jaylin Davis announced via a social media post that he will be retiring. Davis was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 24th round of the 2015 draft, and made his MLB debut with the Giants back in 2019 after being traded in […]

Last week, I suggested Chase Dollander could be a bounce-back candidate in 2026, despite only completing his rookie year in 2025. However, he could also just be a candidate for continued development. But then a comment caught my eye from Colorado Springs Northsider: A number of Rockies pitchers have taken a season or two (Cook […]

The July 2024 deadline feels like a very long time ago now with two postseason appearances separating the Tigers from their last sell cycle at a trade deadline. Other than Trey Sweeney, the young players the Tigers acquired haven’t reached the major leagues yet. One of the minor deals Scott Harris made at that point […]

I understand that the Cubs and the Giants are or have been ‘engaged’. I wish them long happy lives together. But I don’t think Nico Hoerner will be the ring-bearer. The idea has mileage because reputable people have talked about it, but the season was pretty silly before the meetings. I doubt Jeff Passan or […]

Sam McDowell writes why the Royals decided to move in the fences. When the Royals spin the wheels on their internal projections, it shows that moving in the fences averages to about 1.5 more wins in 2026. In a search for every competitive advantage, the Royals believe they found one in changing their stadium dimensions. […]

On Monday, the expected happened. There was overwhelming support for JJ Wetherholt as the #1 prospect in the Cardinals system. It is unknown whether or not Wetherholt will make the Opening Day roster, but it seems pretty clear to me that Wetherholt is definitely ready. That’s not something you can say about probably any other […]

1927 Perhaps believing he had no gas left in tank after two straight poor seasons, the White Sox swapped starting pitcher Hollis “Sloppy” Thurston along with reliever Leo Magnum to the Washington Senators for Roger Peckinpaugh. Peckinpaugh was just two years removed from his AL MVP season, but, at nearly 36 years old, was at […]

It was inevitable, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t hurt. In case you missed it, Ranger Suárez has found a new home in Boston with a reported five year, $150M deal, leaving the Phillies after being in their organization since 2012. It’s bittersweet, as Suárez was beloved in Philadelphia, but it’s nice to see him […]

Hello, friends. There are now 70 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. One month and one day from today is the full squad report date for spring training, though if it goes how these things typically do, most of the position players will probably be reporting before the deadline. Yesterday was a day with some […]

The dream is dead. Multiple outlets have been reporting overnight that John Harbaugh is finalizing a deal to become the head coach of the New York Giants. The Tennessee Titans were scheduled to meet with him at his house today, but that meeting has been canceled, per Albert Breer. Did the Titans ever really have […]

Barcelona forward Raphinha has reportedly been playing through the pain barrier in recent weeks for Hansi Flick’s side. According to Catalunya Radio, the Brazilian was initially a doubt for Sunday’s Super Cup final against Real Madrid due to a thigh issue but was eventually passed fit to play and scored twice in a 3-2 win.

It’s been a Pittsburgh winter this year, definitely colder and more precipitation than in years past, and I’m pretty much over winter at this point. Which makes it all that more special that the Pittsburgh Pirates released their 2026 MLB Spring Training dates yesterday. We’re only roughly three weeks from pitchers and catchers, y’all, as […]

The offseason spotlight shifted over to Boston yesterday, as the Yankees’ archrivals made a surprising pivot to sign Ranger Suarez to a five-year, $130 million deal. The Sox had cash to burn after Alex Bregman wound up going to the Cubs instead of returning to Fenway, and while they probably still want to upgrade their […]

Following a dismal season, and a brief period of reflection, the Washington Commanders quickly parted ways with Kliff Kingsbury. The list of possible replacements to lead Jayden Daniels into 2026 was long, with more than one writer or analyst predicting that with his job on the line, Dan Quinn would not risk selecting a rookie […]
