This is the second part of a series about the notable baseball milestones that happened in our city. You can read part one here. The Royals moved into state-of-the-art Royals Stadium for the 1973 season. It didn’t take long for the highlights to happen. On May 15, 1973, Nolan Ryan threw his first career no-hitter […]
After a disappointing 2025, Orioles GM Mike Elias certainly has not been sitting around doing nothing this offseason, hoping that the problems will solve themselves with much of the same core of the roster returning. He’s gone out and made three big moves that to me were unthinkable when I sat around four months ago […]
Happy Wednesday A’s Fans. The 2026 season will be year two of the Athletics planned three-year Sacramento sojourn while the organization waits for construction to finish on its new ballpark in Las Vegas. For some fans, one of the highlights of going to a baseball game is the giveaway item they get whether it is […]
17. Welinton Herrera (282 points, 19 ballots) Herrera is probably the Rockies’ top relief prospect — among pure relievers in PuRPs voting, it was between him and Rule 5 pick RJ Petit (No. 23 PuRP). He’s also the highest ranked of the three players named Herrera in the system to receive votes. The 21-year-old 6’0” […]
This year’s Cubs schedule begins with a six-game homestand at Wrigley Field. Opening Day is Thursday, March 26, so that’s five games in March, concluding on April 1. The rest of the Cubs’ April schedule is pretty reasonable. They head out for a six-game road trip after that, bookended by off days, so after April […]
Morning, all! Alejandro Osuna could miss up to two weeks of spring training, as he will be playing for team Mexico in the World Baseball Classic. Jack Leiter was invited to play for team USA, but wasn’t able to participate due to insurance issues. After some notable injuries in 2023 I surers have balked at […]
Nick Pivetta joined the San Diego Padres rotation after the start of Spring Training last season, and he proved himself to be the best arm in the rotation throughout the year. Pivetta has been mentioned in trade rumors throughout the offseason, but as the team gets closer to Spring Training it appears he will be […]
With pitchers and catchers set to report to Spring Training in just a couple of weeks, the Astros’ farm system continues to take shape. While the system has undergone significant changes in recent years due to promotions and trades, there remains intriguing talent throughout the organization. Here are three prospects who could be poised for […]
Well, Truck Day has come and gone. Spring Training action, though, is still some weeks away. That gives us ample time to speculate: with an unsettled 2025 season, there’s all sorts of opportunity for the narrative to take hold while the games don’t matter. My memory goes back to “Shuise Control” and the time Jared […]
Yesterday, I wrote that I’m starting to accept the increasingly likely possibility that the Red Sox are not going to add an infielder before opening day, leaving second base to be covered by a platoon of Romy Gonzalez and David Hamilton. It seems to me to be a clear case of roster mismanagement to enter […]
We are launching a new daily article here at South Side Sox, more prominently than our items that pop up on The Feed. It falls under the category of White Sox Discussions, which you’ll see in a few weeks will also be our new branding for Game Threads. Our Discussions series continues by looking back […]
Jeremiah Jackson made his major league debut the day after the Orioles traded Cedric Mullins to the Mets. The trade deadline marked the unofficial end to a season that was lost over the first two months. Any fans still tuning into MASN or MASN2 (RIP) on a given night were left looking for fun stories […]
As we continue our march to number one in the Chicago Bears’ greatest playoff victories of the Super Bowl era, we reach one of the most famous playoff games they played, and that is the romp of the New York Giants on the way to Super Bowl 20. What went into ranking these games? I […]
FanGraphs has published their projected playoff odds, which means the season draws near. Soon we will have real baseball to bicker and banter over between ourselves. But in the meantime, we can argue over playoff odds. The Phillies are projected by FanGraphs to have a 65.7% chance to make the playoffs, and an 18.9% chance […]

Meet the Mets New York—specifically Etihad Park, which is being constructed right next to Citi Field—will be hosting group stage soccer games during the 2028 Olympics. Rest easy: Keith Hernandez has signed a new deal with SNY to return to the booth for yet another Mets season. However, Keith will be cutting back on his […]
Kevin Gausman is entering the last year of his five-year, $110 million contract. In his first four years with the Jays, he made 125 starts, posting a 48-41 record, a 3.48 ERA, and an 11.2 bWAR. We don’t really need a ‘better know’ for him, we’ve been watching him for the last four years. By […]
On this week’s episode of Rays Your Voice, we discuss the recent press conference led by Governor Ron DeSantis, where major power players came out in support of the Rays new stadium plan on the Hillsborough College Dale Mabry campus. While funding was not discussed, Tuesday’s presser feels like a big step in the right […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Good morning. Quite a lot of news today.
The history of the Yankees dates back to the start of the 20th century and a humble team known then as the New York Highlanders. Their first ever game was played on April 22, 1903, against the Washington Senators, a 3-1 loss at American League Park, one of the more well-known Griffith Stadium’s predecessors in […]
THIS IS A GUEST ROCKPILE BY CORY COHEN (@cocomajobo.bsky.social) A lot has been written about the many ways in which the 2025 Colorado Rockies were not very good at baseball. Most of the reasons come down to the usual suspect of poor talent that cannot easily be fixed. There is, however, one aspect of the […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are less than a week away from San Francisco Giants pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring Training, which might be the best news I’ve heard in a year. The organization has been busy over the last week, signing Harrison Bader and Luis Arráez, so it’s not an unfair assumption that […]
The Detroit Tigers aren’t entirely running it back for 2026, but aside from adding Kenley Jansen, Kyle Finnegan, and Drew Anderson, we’re heading toward an Opening Day roster that is little changed form the 2025 edition. There are reasons for optimism based on the club’s run as one of the top 3 teams in baseball […]
