Championship Weekend is here, which means Selection Sunday is as well. While the Rebels missed the chance to play for the SEC title, thanks to the Auburn wide receivers not able to catch or hang on to the football, there is still plenty of interest for Ole Miss and its fans. Friday Night Troy @ […]

The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers technically played baseball when they wrestled for the World Series a month ago. Functionally, though, they were playing a game of “the floor is lava” where “floor” meant “relievers.” Both teams relied heavily on their starting pitchers out of the bullpen because their bullpens were vulnerable. Surely, […]

Tomás Nido was released. Drew Smith was granted free agency. Brandon Nimmo was traded to the Texas Rangers. But against all odds, Jeff McNeil still remains slotted into the first, second, or third spot on nearly half the Mets’ positional depth chart for 2026. McNeil, nicknamed “The Squirrel” for his trademark scrappy, aggressive approach, is […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Finally, the Buccaneers are back on track after their win against the Arizona Cardinals, but it was not an easy victory. For most of the game, Tampa Bay led, and in the fourth quarter, Arizona fought back and nearly completed the comeback. This did not happen, but the Buccaneers had many opportunities […]

To the surprise of many in baseball, Luis Severino left New York, where he’d pitched for both the Yankees and Mets, and signed a three-year, $67 million deal with the Athletics before the 2025 season. It wasn’t long before Severino complained about the conditions at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. And it’s no wonder — […]

The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]

It’s that time of the offseason once again, as the Winter Meetings are set to get underway this Sunday down in Orlando, Florida. If you believe the current headlines, this should be an “active” Winter Meetings and hopefully we’ll be seeing Atlanta Braves President/General Manager Alex Anthopoulos getting in on the action as well. The […]

The Orioles traded Andrew Kittredge to the Cubs at the trade deadline last July. Baltimore received a 17-year-old shortstop prospect, and Chicago gained a veteran reliever with a club option for 2026. The Cubs could have kept Kittredge around for the upcoming season, but Baltimore wanted him back. The Orioles reacquired the 35-year-old by sending […]

With three rotation holes to fill, the San Diego Padres have no doubt been monitoring the dollars that have been given out to starting pitchers to this point in free agency. The contracts imply that addressing the pitching needs through free agency may not be attainable for San Diego from a monetary standpoint. Thomas Conroy […]

Good morning! The Red Sox made a trade last night. And, regardless of whether you think it’s a good trade (Matt makes a pretty strong argument that it is) it’s definitely a curious trade, because Johan Oviedo certainly seems to fit the profile of one of those mid-rotation starters that Craig Breslow had said the […]

The cold certainly tests your commitment to taking a walk outside every day, no matter what. Matthew Boyd, in addition to announcing his spot on Team USA , talked on Foul Territory about what happened in Game One of the NLDS, and how, from his perspective, it had nothing to do with pitching on short rest or anything like that: Matthew Boyd says his rough outing in Game 1 of the NLDS had nothing to do with short rest.

Jack Perkins is an interesting case study in that he has a wide range of realistic outcomes. In his maiden voyage with the A’s in 2025 Perkins saw time both in the bullpen and rotation…and the IL. How Was He Acquired? Perkins is just another example of how you can find big arms well after […]

It’s no secret that the 2025 Orioles offense underperformed. For all the talent on the roster, which helped the team win 192 games from 2023-24, things did not gel. None of us knows exactly why both the vibes and the performance were lackluster, but I know one thing that would help: Kyle Schwarber. Look, I’m […]

From 2014 to 2020, it seemed like the Astros welcomed a new impact prospect every season, and each one stepped in and made an immediate difference. From George Springer to Carlos Correa to Yordan Alvarez, those arrivals played a major role in defining the organization’s golden era. While 2025 didn’t see that same level of […]

The Los Angeles Rams are coming off a tough loss, but have a chance to rebound against the slumping Arizona Cardinals this weekend. Arizona is already eliminated from playoff contention and can play spoiler in Week 14, but don’t count on them to come through when it matters, given their overall body of work this […]

We saw in our previous piece that the Astros stood in 19th in MLB with a .651 team BPO. For those that haven’t read the first piece, we noted that bases per out is a more comprehensive way of looking at offense and pitching because it includes a base running element. Naturally, most catchers do […]
