EDITOR’S NOTE: This might be the most memorable walkoff home run in Cubs history, at least in modern times. Thus you probably don’t need to be told too much more about it. Lightly edited, here’s the article I wrote about it in 2023 on its fifth anniversary. David Bote’s ultimate grand slam on Aug. 12, […]

Thinking about the 2026 Braves from a forecasting perspective is a pretty fraught exercise. You could say, “Hasn’t it generally been a fraught exercise?” But, honestly, not really! The 2018 Braves were forecasted to be largely irrelevant. They surprised everyone and pulled off a once-in-a-generation-for-a-franchise turnaround. Did that carry over into 2019? Well, not really […]

Even as the St. Louis Cardinals stand to post their third sub-.500 season in four years, and even as attendance and fan support plummets, and even as new management explicitly undertakes a rebuilding process that could take years, Willson Contreras reportedly wants to stick it out. In other words, don’t expect Contreras to follow Sonny Gray out the door in the next Cardinals sell-off trade. He has a no-trade clause, it sounds like he still plans to wield it: . @dgoold reports that Wi...

I spent a fair amount of time last year pretty concerned with the Detroit Tigers left-handed options in the bullpen. Too much time, as it turned out. While Tyler Holton had a tough year compared to his 2023-2024 performance and Brant Hurter went through a rough stretch of his own, the Tigers relievers handled left-handed […]

The series against the Dodgers ended in defeat, Orion Kerkering literally throwing away any chance the Phillies had at bringing the series back to Philadelphia for a fifth and deciding game.

Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai, one of the best starting pitchers available on the market, is reportedly going to be coming to the United States as soon as this week to meet with interested clubs. The Chicago Cubs have been among the teams attached to Imai by rumor and speculation, but with the bidding potentially approaching or topping $200 million – with the posting fee included – it’s difficult to imagine the Cubs coming out on top. That’s a level we haven’t seen them go on any free agent, much ...

Generally-speaking, I’m not a huge fan of reliever extensions and long-term contracts, unless you’re one of the tippy-top relievers in the game. They’re too volatile, and their lifespans in the game are too short. but sometimes, you get a super cheap one that you can’t pass up, and the Chicago White Sox got one of […]
