It is hard to believe that it has been eight years (yesterday, I thought I had scheduled this for yesterday) since Roy Halladay died in that plane crash. Few deaths have affected me as much. Talking about another friend who died a few years ago, a friend said, ‘Time flies when you are dead.’ It […]

Zach Penrod is in many ways the reason why I enjoy this annual series of player reviews. The left-hander did not pitch for the Dodgers in 2025, but did spend six weeks on the 40-man roster. He was deemed important enough to occupy a roster spot, so why not chronicle his time with the team, […]

After a promising first year in pinstripes way back in 2018, Giancarlo Stanton’s tenure as a Yankee hasn’t been the smoothest ride. It got to the point that with several years left on his deal, his contract started being considered a burden much earlier than expected. While the merits of the deal from a long-term […]
