Christmas is coming, and while the goose continues to get fat, the Yankees are submitting their final wishes.

Over the past few weeks there has been some back and forth in the land of rumour mongering over whether Liverpool’s much talked about interest in Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo ahead of the January transfer window is genuine or if it’s mostly just Bournemouth looking to raise his price. It appears, though, that we can […]
After free agents and DFA’d guys were deleted from the Cubs’ 40-man roster last month, just 31 players remained. That seemed like a small number. So far this offseason, just three other players have been added back to that 40-man roster, leaving it at 34. I thought that still sounded pretty small, so I decided […]
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation! We’ve passed the darkest day of the year, inched closer towards some time off for the holidays, and traded for Willson Contreras.

You couldn’t have asked for a better week if you’re a 49ers fan.

As the Rangers’ inconsistency becomes impossible to ignore, attention turns to a thin trade board, limited assets, and a handful of imperfect—but plausible—options if New York decides it has to do something.
Diamondbacks News D-backs giving Lawlar chance to grow defensively by Steve Gilbert [DBacks.com] The organization sees the defensive struggles as a blip rather than something they are overly concerned about. “We had been bouncing him all over the field in Triple-A,” GM Mike Hazen said. “I don’t think that’s ever conducive from a defensive standpoint.

Good morning. Happy Festivus! Kennedi Landry writes that the Texas Rangers head into 2026 with Sebastian Walcott as their top prospect for another year, but they’re in no rush to promote him.

Throughout the heyday of the Buck Showalter Orioles, Baltimore’s bats became synonymous with one thing: power, and lots of it.

Baseball is a game of numbers. This is something that we all know and love about the game. While the human drama that comprises each moment of a baseball game is likely what drew us in to begin, it’s the numbers and the data that helps formulate idea and concepts and opinions about it. It’s […]
On Monday Evening, Ken Rosenthal dropped his latest “news around the league” article for the latest updates on rumors around MLB. One interesting note he mentioned was the Braves were not a clean fit for Ketel Marte. The main reason is because the Braves did not want to give up the haul of young pitching […]
Meet the Mets In yet another move to break up the core, the Mets traded Jeff McNeil to the Athletics for 17-year-old pitching prospect Yordan Rodriguez. The Mets sent $5.75 million to pay part of McNeil’s $15.75 million contract for 2026, and they will cover his $2 million buyout if his 2027 option isn’t exercised. McNeil, […]

Look, I’m just going to say it: It’s a weird time to be a fan of the Colorado Rockies. Like me, you probably are well conditioned to the rhythms of a typical Rockies offseason: It starts with a few minor coaching changes and maybe some DFA’s and a non-tender or two. Then Dick Monfort sends […]
While we wait for substantial news about the Brewers this offseason, we’ve reached the point where I thought it would be fun to take a look back a little bit.
