The Atlanta Braves had what can only be described as a woefully year. They were wracked with injuries to their rotation and lineup which led to a 76-86 record. good for 4th in the NLE. It was the first time Atlanta has missed the playoffs since 2017 and spelled the end for long time manager […]
I want to do a post about the Gore MacKenzie trade that talks about the prospects the Rangers give up. And as part of that, I was going to go through and look at who else the Rangers have traded, in terms of prospects, to get a major league return since the start of the […]

When it comes to all-time baseball records, there are some that were set in a different era and will never be approached—such as the 59 wins Old Hoss Radbourn compiled in 1884. The Colorado Rockies won only 43 games last summer. Ouch. Cy Young’s 511 career wins and 749 complete games also fall into this […]
31-year-old Carson Franklin Kelly had a real nice year in 2025, registering 3.6 bWAR and a slash line of .249/.333/.428 with 17 home runs and 50 RBI in 421 plate appearances. Not too shabby. Yeah, he wasn’t Cal Raleigh, but then, neither is anybody else. That was easily his best year in MLB, surpassing the […]
To the extent that Craig Breslow was hired to turn around Red Sox pitching, you can’t say he that hasn’t done his job. In just two offseasons, Breslow has completely revamped the top of the Sox rotation by aggressively acquiring one of the game’s best pitchers in Garrett Crochet and two other recent all-stars in […]
The Texas Rangers addressed the hole in their 2026 rotation in dramatic fashion on Thursday, trading five minor leaguers to the Washington Nationals to acquire lefthanded starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore. So let’s talk about this deal, and what the Rangers are getting in Gore. Start with the basics. Gore is a lefty who turns 27 […]
There is one player on the New York Rangers who is seemingly good as gone, and that's Artemi Panarin. While he has control over where he goes and will very likely be choosing a team with a chance to hoist the Stanley Cup, it will also likely reduce his return because of this. Panarin is in the final year of his deal at $11.6 million AAV and has 19 goals and 56 points in 50 games. The 34-year-old has been one of the best offensive players over the last decade and hasn't been able to win the Cup...

In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, Jeremy “Hokius” Greco breaks down one of the most intriguing moves of the MLB offseason: the New York Mets’ trade for Freddy Peralta. Using the Mets and Brewers as case studies, Jeremy examines how aggressive roster building contrasts with the growing risk aversion among mid-tier teams—including the […]

Will Watson inherited athletic genes from his father, Brad, who played football for Puget Sound University, and baseball skill from his stepfather, Pat, who played baseball at Pacific Lutheran University. He attended Burlington Edison High School in Burlington, Washington, where he played varsity baseball for three seasons, as well as basketball and cross-country track. He […]
The Yankees of the mid-2000s were a team that had grown long in the tooth, particularly in the rotation. A team already leaning heavy on veterans: namely Mike Mussina, well into his thirties, and Randy Johnson, who had already blown out 40 candles. Ahead of the 2007 season, Johnson returned to Arizona, but the Yankees […]
As February quickly approaches, so too does the 2026 Mountain West Conference softball season. This season is set to be arguably the most competitive in MWC softball history, with multiple teams receiving votes in the recently released preseason Top 25 polls, and former WAC power Grand Canyon joining the conference as an immediate favorite. Prior […]

At the same time Chas McCormick’s deal was being reported, the Cubs actually had another probably-gonna-have-to-take-a-minor-league-deal-although-formerly-good outfielder at their facility in Arizona for a workout of some kind. That’s Dylan Carlson: Pre-Spring Training; 1-22-2026 Cubs Camp Outfielder #DylanCarslon showed up around 12:45pm, warmed up and took OF flyballs. @MiLB @cubprospects @realcubsinsider @Cubs @BleacherNation @brendan_cubs pic.twitter.com/QHABAQeKO0 — Ray R....
The New York Rangers have had another poor season and as they're three games under .500 and falling quickly out of contention for a playoff spot, they are ready to retool. That could mean a lot of players are on their way out, including a couple of defensemen in Braden Schneider and Carson Soucy. David Pagnotta said, "Braden Schneider and Carson Soucy are believed to be trade candidates for the Rangers." While Vladislav Gavrikov and Adam Fox aren't expected to be going anywhere, the rest could...
After nearly 6 months of trade speculation, Paul Toboni finally got a MacKenzie Gore deal done, sending the left-hander to the Texas Rangers in exchange for 5 prospects. While none of the 5 prospects acquired for Gore are top 100 prospects on any major publications currently, they all have unique skillsets that could put them […]

Happy Friday A’s fans! In back-to-back days our division rivals have added to their rosters looking to improve their chances for the coming season. Two days ago the Los Angeles Angels came to terms with third baseman Yoan Moncada, bringing back a decent hitter with major health questions hovering over him. Moncada was a potential […]
I am thinking of a pitcher. He made 17 starts early in his career and the results were not good: 5.49 ERA, 1.341 WHIP, his teams were 5-12 in those 17 games. Then this pitcher was traded — twice in one offseason, incidentally — and converted to relief. Almost immediately he became a dominant closer, […]
25. Michael Prosecky (89 points, 12 ballots) When the Rockies signed Prosecky to a slightly over-slot $300k bonus after drafting him in the sixth round in 2022, most observers thought the left-handed pitcher would be ticketed for the bullpen. After all, that’s where the 6’3” hurler had distinguished himself in college as Louisville’s closer. Instead, […]
Hello folks! Let’s get this Friday started. In Mariners news… Around the league…
Missouri continues its rebuild as the transfer portal narrows down with the wide receiver room being a clear point of emphasis for Tigers’ coach Eli Drinkwitz. The team added a fourth receiver to its depleted room in Minnesota wideout Kenric Lanier. Lanier joins Florida WR Naeshaun Montgomery, Cincinatti WR Caleb Goodie and Auburn WR Horatio […]
Recent transactions and discussions in baseball have turned attention back to the age-old complaints about wealth disparities that have plagued Major League Baseball forever. It’s hard to tell whether the current situation is meaningfully different, historically speaking, or if this is simply the same debate we’ve been having my entire life. Still, there are a […]
