Multiple huge years, including huge years from top prospects and somewhat unheralded breakouts, now have the organization in a great spot on both sides of the ball. That leaves […]

2025 Season in Review: Seth Lugo

2024 was a career year for Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Seth Lugo. The then 34 year-old signed with the Royals in free agency, and rewarded the team with 3.00 ERA across 206.2 innings of work. Lugo finished second in the American League Cy Young award voting, behind Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. I think […]

1912 Once down 3-0 in the City Series, the White Sox rallied late for a third straight win, 8-5, to force a deciding game in a Series the Cubs had all but sewed up. The Good Guys had rallied for three runs in the sixth inning to snag a 4-3 lead on the home team, […]

After another lost year, Adley Rutschman is at a crossroads

Take a trip back through the time with me, if you will, to May 21, 2022. That was the day that Adley Rutschman made his major league debut — and the fortunes of the Baltimore Orioles were forever changed. It had been a long, slow, painful rebuild for the Orioles, who at that point were […]

Should the Phillies pursue Alex Bregman?

In case you weren’t aware, it was reported earlier this week that the Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman would indeed be opting out of the remaining two years on his contract with Boston and will enter free agency. It was not really an unexpected move, as Bregman sat around all of last offseason looking […]

We all owe Oli Marmol an apology after Mike Shildt drama

By now, everyone knows what just took place with former Cardinals manager Mike Shildt in San Diego and how it mirrors what led to him being fired in 2021. I have to say it’s nice to finally have some answers, but I don’t think I’m alone in that my opinion on the matter has changed. […]

OTM Open Thread 10/17: Vlad The Impaler

It wasn’t all that long ago when Red Sox fans were dreaming of Vlad Guerrero, Jr. hitting after Rafael Devers in the lineup, when Red Sox Twitter was awash in photoshops of Vladdy, Raffy, and Juan Soto (Juanny?) all wearing the red ‘B’. Alas, that’s not what fate (or Fenway Sports Group) had in store […]

Report claims Tigers and Tarik Skubal are $250M apart in talks

Jon Heyman of the New York Post began stirring up the offseason pot on Thursday with a report claiming that the Tigers and star pitcher were $250M apart in extension talks. While no one doubts Heyman’s assertion that agent Scott Boras wants a contract in the $400-420M range, his claim that the Tigers offered less […]

Nestor German pitched like a future rotation candidate in 2025

Under Mike Elias, the Orioles are yet to invest major assets into big league pitching. Yes, they made the trade for Corbin Burnes heading into 2024, and they have ponied up some cash for one-year free agent deals, but those are relatively low stakes in the modern game. Pair that with a draft strategy that […]

The robots are coming (to MLB in 2026)

All examples of famous robots. Joining that list in 2026 will be Major League Baseball’s Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System (ABS), pejoratively known as “robot umps”.
