It’s been widely reported that the Phillies are interested in Bo Bichette and met with him on Monday, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Maybe he signed with them (or someone else) by the time you read this. There are good reasons to like Bichette as a player. He hit .311 with […]

Casey Stengel called him the “strangest man ever to play baseball,” which, coming from “The Old Perfessor”, is notable. His career somehow spanned 15 seasons, even though he was just a career .243 hitter and only accrued six home runs in 1,962 plate appearances.

Just last week, I took a “way too early” look at a possible Cubs Opening Day roster. Today, we stand 72 days from that (hopefully not too cold) Opening Day game Thursday, March 26 against the Nationals at Wrigley Field — and two significant changes have happened since then.

When the Mets traded for Huascar Brazobán in the summer of 2024, it was seen as a minor, but craft move. Brazobán, a late bloomer in terms of big league appearances, was under team control through 2028, had two options remaining, and had some interesting facets of his game just below the surface.

Andy Pettitte left the team in free agency after 2003, having not felt wanted enough by the Yankees, and almost every notable pitching move the team made until his return in 2007 didn’t […]

The New York Rangers are having another bad season and the team has the worst points percentage in the Eastern Conference. They are also the only team under .500 in the East and have lost eight of their last 10 games. It makes too much sense for the Rangers to sell and they have the means to change things up and bring in helpful pieces. The big trade candidate is Artemi Panarin, who had reportedly rejected a big contract extension and isn't going to take a team-friendly deal to stick around. T...

Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon was fired by the Arizona Cardinals earlier this year and now there’s buzz he could return to the NFC East.

Baseball is, among other things, a series of transactions. Being a baseball fan often involves having feelings about those transactions. Sometimes, those feelings are strong. Baseball also surprises us. If not the perfect blend of predictable and absolutely unpredictable, it’s probably pretty close. Put those two things together, and it means that strong feelings can […]
