The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series for the second year in a row, and did so with the highest-paid team in Major League Baseball history. The Dodgers’ payroll in 2025 for competitive balance tax purposes was $417.3 million, per Ronald Blum at Associated Press, which resulted in a record-setting luxury tax levy of […]

Overview Drafted in the 5th round of the 2020 draft, Brandon Pfaadt dominated the hitter friendly environments that make up the majority of the Arizona farm system. I won’t go into his full minor league history, but holding PCL batters to a 2.61 ERA and 3.71 ERA in two seasons is beyond impressive. Having rightfully […]

The last on the list is David Wright. It is his third time on the ballot. He was on 6.2% of the ballots the first time and 8.1% the second time. I really thought he would do much better than that. Wright played for the Mets for 14 seasons, hitting .296/.376/.491 with 242 home runs […]

The Tampa Bay Rays completed two significant trades this afternoon. First, they dealt Brandon Lowe to Pittsburgh as part of a three-team deal with the Astros involved as well. Tampa got two prospects back in the deal: Jacob Melton, an outfielder from Houston, who has some major league experience, as well as High-A pitcher Anderson […]

The Cubs bullpen was a strength for the Cubs in 2025 but with Andrew Kittredge returning to the Baltimore Orioles, Drew Pomeranz signing with the Los Angeles Angels and Brad Keller inking a two-year deal with the Phillies, the late innings of Cubs games will look a lot different in 2026. The Cubs have been […]

Let’s not kid ourselves, there was not much player activity at last week’s MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando, Fla. However, the buzz surrounding a potential blockbuster trade between the San Diego Padres and New York Mets has lingered far longer than expected. For a brief moment, the rumors allowed the Friar Faithful to fantasize about […]

To say that 2025 was a disappointment for the Atlanta Braves would be an understatement. A team that had World Series aspirations going into the season ended up having a calamitous start that ended up being an omen for things to come, as the Braves ended up missing the Postseason entirely for the first time […]

Yesterday, I covered the players who wore the number 18 earlier in Phillies history. Today, I’ll go over some of the recent names. Ivan De Jesus De Jesus was the centerpiece of one of the worst trades in Phillies history. He wore 18 in his first season with the club, but after a disappointing showing, […]

It was a small signing yesterday for the Chicago Cubs, but a necessary one, adding right-handed slugger Tyler Austin for the bench. Austin has been a star in Japan, putting up numbers comparable to many of the biggest names we talk about, but he’s 34, and there are fair questions about whether the mid-30s strikeout rate he used to run in MLB will return and sap him of any productivity this time around. So the deal was quite modest, reflecting the possibility that the Cubs won’t actually w...

The starting pitching dominoes are finally starting to fall. After Michael King returned to the Padres last night, the Orioles made a big move that set the trade market for starting pitchers.
