Question’s in the title, pretty much. Kyle Tucker is very good — he’s had five consecutive seasons between 4 and 5 fWAR, and he could’ve possibly cleared 5 in three of those seasons if not for some xwOBA underperformance there. He’s also the relatively rare star that has hit free agency before turning 30, which […]

Yesterday morning, Jim Bowden, warmly referred to around these parts as Ralph, went on his radio show on Sirius XM and talked about J.T. Realmuto. I find it interesting that this isn’t the first time Realmuto has been connected with a deal that is only two years in length. One would probably assume that he […]

“Max Muncy? Could you be more specific? Ah, the infielder drafted by the A’s? Could you be more specific? Ah, the one born on August 25th? Could you be more specific?” So many Max Muncys, so little time. But we have some time so let’s talk about the younger one who still plays for the […]

Team news [SI] Be Prepared for This Disappointing D-backs Reality – Mike Hazen may very well turn to several “reliable” veteran players, or unproven players with upside, as opposed to taking a big hack for a true ace-caliber starting pitcher, All-Star closer or top-order bat. In other words, be prepared to not be “excited” about […]

Now that Ryan Helsley has been signed to close games for the Orioles in 2026, we probably shouldn’t expect any other massive additions to the team’s bullpen. But that doesn’t mean the unit is a finished product either. For a team that claims to have postseason ambitions next season there are still far too many […]

Here we are a season later, and the Detroit Tigers should still sign free agent third baseman Alex Bregman. Their struggles down the stretch and in the postseason perfectly emphasized the need for Bregman-type hitters. Scott Harris and the Tigers know this well, hence their pursuit last offseason. Top prospect Kevin McGonigle has similar traits […]

I noticed a curious thing when I was perusing potential outfielders for the Cardinals to sign. I noticed this when I made a case for Michael Conforto, which was understandably not received that well. If you hyper focus on right-handed outfielders, there’s a bunch of former Cardinals. It’s actually kind of crazy how many of […]

In a vacuum, ignoring injury, the Yankees’ starting rotation for 2026 looks outstanding. Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Cam Schlittler, Luis Gil, and Will Warren all return, and the Yanks just recently re-signed Ryan Yarbrough. That’s six legitimate starting pitchers and a guy who was pretty successful as a spot starter/swingman for New York […]

Starting pitching is generally an issue for the Colorado Rockies, but their woes were especially apparently in 2025. The Rockies’ rotation set a modern-era record for worst ERA at 6.65 through a league second-fewest 776.1 innings of work. The Rockies’ 2026 rotation is set to look very different. Austin Gomber and Germán Márquez have both […]

Alex Speier at the Boston Globe writes about Boston’s pursuit of Cole Ragans. For teams that are in the market for high-end starting pitching and willing to deal big league talent to get it, the Royals represent one of the most interesting potential trade partners of the offseason. Kansas City isn’t hiding its willingness to […]

Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them.

The ACC went 2-2 against the SEC on rivalry week, but the real story is SMU’s loss opened the door for a doomsday scenario for the conference where the champion misses the playoff.

The Winter Meetings is typically the peak of off-season activity, and we are just a week away from the 2025 MLB Winter Meetings starting. This does not mean that moves will stop until then, but […]

I’m not a huge college football fan. I like watching the playoffs, the bowls, but following a team for a whole season is just something this local college boy never really did. So all of this news about Lane Kiffin just makes me sad for the state of athletics at the collegiate level. Do I […]
