The Arizona Cardinals have fired head coach Jonathan Gannon per multiple reports from Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter: Gannon has been a question for the final part of the season as the Arizona Cardinals lost nine straight games, and was 15-36 overall. More troubling, Gannon was a paltry 2-19 when a quarterback not named Kyler […]

The Royals have been focused on trading their pitching depth for an outfielder, and could still use another bat despite adding Isaac Collins and Lane Thomas. One potential trade partner could be the Houston Astros, who are starved for starting pitching depth and have a surplus of outfielders. Earlier rumors focused on Jake Meyers, who […]

The 1995-1996 offseason saw the Yankees and Orioles in an arms race — quite literally. The two teams, who had finished second and third in the AL East, respectively, had competed hard for David Cone, who ultimately opted to re-sign with the Bombers four days before Christmas. The Orioles then swung a trade with the […]

To lose to the New York Giants 34-17 in the regular-season finale was not the way many of us envisioned this Week 18 matchup to go. It’s not so much the Dallas Cowboys lost the game, but the way they lost it. They said they would play to win, but they never really looked like […]

The Rays will be looking to replace Shane Baz’s production in the rotation, and I think the Rays should look in-house and give Joe Boyle an extended run. Boyle has always had plus stuff, but he’s had trouble sticking in the major leagues in previous seasons due to his lack of both control (the ability […]

Ineptness runs the Arizona Cardinals, or at least it has in their history. In fact, after Jonathan Gannon completed his historic season with the Cardinals going 3-14, the most losses in a single season in franchise history, Gannon has a 0.294 win percentage. Among qualified coaches Gannon now ranks eight worst in NFL history in […]

Legitimate prospects out of Latin America sign for at least six-figure signing bonuses, and they do so when they are 16 years old. Anyone who signs for less or signs when they are older tends to be an afterthought. Framber Valdez signed with the Astros for $10,000 as a 21-year-old on March 18, 2015. He […]

We might have ourselves a candidate for “most polarizing player on the big league roster”. Shea Langeliers comes with warts and yet he put up a pretty sensational 2025 season ranking as one of the AL’s best catchers. How Was He Acquired? A 1st round pick of the Atlanta Braves, Langeliers was a center piece […]

Seventeen-year-old Randy Guzman, brother of former Texas Rangers prospect Ronald Guzman, was signed out of the Dominican Republic on September 22, 2022, receiving just a $10,000 bonus due to his advanced (for an international rookie from the Caribbean) age and only so-so reports from scouts and evaluators. He was assigned to the Dominican Summer League […]

There are certainly projections for all of the Astros pitchers and some sources have provided them for Tatsuya Imai as well, but providing projections for big league pitchers is challenging enough. Providing them for foreign born players is that much harder. How good is the Japanese major leagues in comparison with the big leagues? There […]

Three of the four Dodgers eligible for salary arbitration this offseason are relief pitchers, with outfielder Alex Call the outlier as the only position player in the bunch. With two years, 161 days of major league service time, Call is eligible for salary arbitration for the first time as a Super Two player. That distinction […]

As Mets prospect-heads celebrate the signing of Wandy Asigen, let’s look back a decade to the 2016 international class. The top prospect, Kevin Maitan, signed for $4.25M, but would eventually be one of the centerpieces of the investigation that got John Coppolella banned from baseball for life; Maitan never reached the majors. The Mets, meanwhile, […]

While it didn’t necessarily come easy, the Rams beat the Arizona Cardinals 37-20 to clinch the fifth seed in the NFC playoffs, setting them up for a matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The question now is whether or not winning this game […]

Welcome to 2026! Maybe the last year of Major League Baseball as we know it! I mean, probably not. But the odds are slightly higher this year than most years due to the upcoming Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations that are due to take place in advance of the end of the current CBA before the […]

Art Fletcher had a long and distinguished major league career that spanned 14 years, racking up over 47 bWAR at shortstop in the process. But that is not enough to get Fletcher a feature in our Yankee Birthday series, considering none of those games involved him in pinstripes. It’s his post-playing days that get him […]

Today, we stand 80 days away from the Cubs’ Opening Day game March 26 against the Nationals at Wrigley Field. That’s 11 and a half weeks, which is plenty of time for the Cubs to sign or trade for new players, and I am reasonably certain they will add one or more such players, even […]
