Leaves. So many leaves. Everywhere leaves. You look so pretty on the trees, but, on the ground, I could not hate you more. Some praise for Colin Rea, and for the Cubs for retaining him for 2026 with the option of 2027 . This is not a guy who turns many heads, but that’s not his job. Instead, Rea is a steady swing-man who can fill in at the back of the rotation if needed – which he was for most of the year – and he put up a 3.95 ERA in the process. It doesn’t stand out as being ...

When Jeremiah Jackson arrived in the Orioles organization as a minor league signing around this time last year, there was not much fanfare. At that point, he was a 24-year-old who had never made it above the Double-A level and his most recent season with the Mets did not suggest he was on the way […]

(This is not a Big Board question, though it could be. I think right now, any guesses to that effect would not even be educated, and that seems like the wrong thing for the Big Board.) Back before the 2025 season, I wrote an article that the 2025 bullpen could look a bit different than […]

It is the beginning of the offseason, and the blockbuster signings of the winter are steaming and brewing. But, for now, we wait and wonder what the Dodgers will do this time around after two exorbitant offseason spending sprees. Old friend Kenta Maeda, who spent four seasons with the Dodgers from 2016-19, won’t be on […]

When a reliever makes you hold your breath every time he enters a game, but still somehow records outs, is it still “relief” pitching? Ha. Ha. OK, but how should we estimate the value of a flamethrowing lefty who hits 98 on the radar gun, strikes out hitters in bunches, and also has an ERA […]

He worked as the right-handed half of a very successful platoon pairing with Ernie Whitt. Buck was a good glove/bad bat, serving as a backup […]
