Latest blog entries about MLB
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 $2 million buyout if his 2027 option isn’t exercised. McNeil, […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Matt Shaw is in the news again, That’s all I’m going to say. Chase Strumpf is calling it a career. Framber Valdez and Pete Fairbanks are in the air. The next real event is the Cubs Convention, Friday, January 16, through Sunday, January 18, 2026. *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. […]
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. How many of these articles get written is kind of up to Milwaukee’s front office, but we’ll get started with this one, a somewhat forgotten […]
Happy Festivus, everybody! I’ve got a lot of problems with you people. Now, you’re gonna hear about it! No, I don’t mean you, dear readers. I’m obviously referring to the Yankees! Every fan who follows their team with any degree of regularity will start to have that team get on their nerves in a variety […]
Good morning, baseball fans! As we are getting closer to the holidays, I thought we could take some time to revisit some of the San Francisco Giants’ best games. Or at least a few of my personal favorites. Yesterday, we re-visited Game 5 of the 2010 World Series, and we did the same for Game […]
Ben Clemens at Fangraphs evaluates the Matt Strahm trade. For me, Strahm is already the best reliever in Kansas City. But even if you’re an Estévez truther, Strahm is at worst the second banana. Lucas Erceg and John Schreiber are nice middle relievers. I’m curious to see whether Daniel Lynch IV can reinvent himself out of the bullpen. Offseason trade acquisition Nick […]
Results A three-way deadlock was the result of last week’s poll, so yours truly gets tie-breaker rights: I have to go with the last-day 2006 AL Central title and celebration at the Metrodome. On August 7, the Twins were 10.5 GB the Detroit Tigers. Until the season’s final day, they had not spent any time […]
I’ve been vocal about my love for Triston Casas, and my hopes for his emergence as a key part of the Red Sox roster for years to come. These hopes and dreams once seemed quite reasonable, based on early returns, but they’ve been dashed by significant injuries and questions about whether he can ever meet […]
Philip Rivers plot works; Defense crumbles! Hoosiers & Pacers falter in second halves!
Here’s a list of the current Nittany Lions in the NFL listed by 53-man roster: *Just a reminder that again this season, I will not include players like Juwan Johnson and KeAndre Lambert-Smith that did not finish their college career at Penn State* Arizona Cardinals: Blake Gillikin, PJ Mustipher Atlanta Falcons: Arnold Ebiketie Baltimore Ravens: […]
Let’s stop this nonsense and just sign JT Realmuto already. Phillies News: MLB News:
Chaim Bloom has made it a priority this offseason to strengthen the team’s pitching staff and depth as a primary goal. After trading veteran starting pitcher Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox before Thanksgiving and returning MLB-ready Richard Fitts and minor league upside starter Brandon Clarke, as well as the recent trade of First […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. There are just nine days until it’s 2026, but we have a much longer wait until there’s actual baseball. Spring training games begin Feb. 20 and Opening Day is on March 26, more than three months away. Plenty of offseason remains until then, and only half of MLB’s top 50 free […]
Yeah, you’ve seen him. In fact, you probably have a photo of yourself with him on your phone if you have been to an Arizona Cardinals home game. He is called “The Ultimate Birdgang Warrior,” and he represents the true fandom of the Cardinals. LINK: ULTIMATE BIRDGANG WARRIOR FACEBOOK PAGE The Arizona Superfan is on full […]
1940 The original home of the White Sox before Comiskey Park, South Side Park III, was damaged by a late-night fire set by intruders to the property. The ballpark, then being used by the Chicago American Giants of the Negro Leagues, did $2,000 worth of damage (about $45,000 today) to the wooden grandstands. The club […]
Just two days from Christmas, today’s the last day MLB execs can make moves without infringing on their own (and our) holidays. It’s likely to be a slow week in what’s felt like a slow offseason, though I think this makes it a good time to reflect on what’s actually happened. Even if things seem […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou things With Mizzou Basketball’s loss to Illinois at Braggin’ Rights on Monday night, the Tigers dropped to 10-3 overall on the season with no quality wins in non-conference heading into SEC play. Not exactly a recipe for success in hopes of making the NCAA Tournament. […]

In their latest combined notes column, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic take a dive into the New York Mets and where they stand currently following the trade of IF/OF Jeff McNeil. What they had to say should be very interesting to Astros fans. They mention the Mets are still looking for a […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: Over the past two seasons and playoff runs, the reliability of the Yankees’ bullpen has been one of the major questions plaguing the team. The organization has been decent at being able to squeeze good innings out of the likes of Ian Hamilton and Tim Hill at points, but it’s […]
