Eagles opposing player to stop, Week 15 edition

The Eagles will receive the perfect trampoline for their current three-game free fall: The woeful Las Vegas Raiders. Las Vegas is No. 31 in the NFL in offense and enter Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday at 1 p.m. riding an AFC-high seven-game losing streak, tying them with the New York Giants, and a game behind […]

Cubs position player pitchers: Doug Dascenzo

Thirteen years have passed since Larry Biittner’s turn on the mound for the Cubs. Position player pitching was still pretty rare in Major League Baseball. And then came the spring of 1990. You have to remember the context here: The Cubs had come off a division title year in 1989 in which they won 93 […]

St. Louis Cardinals’ Prospects to Watch for in 2026, v2

After sorting through and writing about the Fangraphs prospect update in recent weeks, I got to wondering about some players who weren’t on this list of prospects and who might find themselves on it after the next update. Who in the system is not on a prospect list NOW but could well be by this […]

Royals inquired about MacKenzie Gore and CJ Abrams, per report

The Royals had a quiet Winter Meetings, but have been pretty active in the days since, signing outfielder Lane Thomas to a one-year deal, and inking All-Star third baseman Maikel Garcia to a long-term deal. In his write-up of the Garcia deal, ESPN reporter Jeff Passan notes the Royals continue to be active on the […]

Christopher Morel Reportedly Signing with the Marlins

Christopher Morel is staying in Florida, just switching sides of the peninsula. The Miami Marlins are inking Morel to a one-year deal, and perhaps the most interesting part is where they plan to play him. Versatile by necessity more than by skill, Morel, who’d moved to the outfield from the left side of the infield, is now moving over to the right side of the infield: Source confirms: Free agent Christopher Morel in agreement with Marlins on one-year contract, pending physical. Expec...

Royals sign Maikel Garcia to five-year contract extension

The Royals have locked down the left side of their infield. Having already signed shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. to a long-term deal, they have now signed third baseman Maikel Garcia to a five-year contract with a club option on a sixth year, according to ESPN reporter Jeff Passan. Update at 1:54 p.m.: The deal is […]

With the Atlanta Braves draft position being settled in as of Tuesday evening, it is now time to start taking a look at some of the potential targets for the team in the 2026 MLB Draft. This series will take a look at 10 players who will have some chance to be available for the […]

2025 Player Review: Tim Mayza

The team was in need of an arm once Jose Alvarado went down to injury. So they picked up Tim Mayza. That was something, wasn’t it? 2025 stats (w/ Phillies) 8 G, 7 1/3 IP, 20.6 K%, 11.8 BB%, 1.23 HR/9, 4.91 ERA (5.04 FIP), 0.0 fWAR What went right Mayza was perfectly cromulent while […]

Hall of Fame Poll: Álex Rodríguez

Álex Rodríguez is on the Hall of Fame ballot for the fifth time. Last year, he was on 37.1% of the ballots (his high mark in the first four times). He’s been in the mid-30s each time. He doesn’t seem to be gaining much traction. By the numbers, he is easily a Hall of Famer. […]

Today in White Sox History: December 12

1925 The first championship ever secured on the grounds of Comiskey Park came with a 13-0 Chicago Cardinals win over the Hammond Pros. It was sweet revenge for the Cardinals, who had given Hammond its only win of 1925 with a season-opening upset in Indiana, 10-6. But this “title” was not without controversy. Six days […]

Love For Moises Ballesteros Down the Stretch, and For His Immediate Future Impact

Because most of it came in the heat of a playoff race, when the focus is necessarily less about individual player achievement or development, and more about where the Cubs are in the standings, I think I probably didn’t praise Moises Ballesteros enough down the stretch. The sample was small in 2025 in the big leagues for Ballesteros, but that’s because the playing time was sporadic. And that, in turn, is part of what makes his ultimate success so impressive. It’s hard enough to be a 21-ye...

2026 NFL Mock Draft: Quarterbacks Fly Early, Contenders Reload Late

With quarterback desperation fueling aggressive trade movement and a deep defensive class reshaping the board. In this NFL mock draft , the Cardinals make a franchise-altering swing, several contenders reload premium positions, and a handful of rookies project as instant starters. With the 2026 landscape shifting fast, here’s how Round 1 could unfold. 2026 NFL Mock Draft 1. TRADE — Arizona Cardinals (via NYG): QB Fernando Mendoza – Indiana The Cardinals are going to move on from...

Mark Shapiro Signs For Five More Years

Not a surprise, after the Jays came within a couple of inches of winning the World Series, but the Jays (or I guess Rogers signed) signed Mark Shapiro for five more years, which would have him in the job for 15 years. Mark has overseen improvements to Rogers Centre and the Jays’ Spring Training facilities. […]

The pros and cons of signing Lane Thomas

This week, the Kansas City Royals signed outfielder Lane Thomas to a one-year, $5.25 million contract. Thomas joins the Royals after spending the last year and a half with the Cleveland Guardians. The Royals are hoping the right-handed hitting outfielder who hit 28 home runs in a season as recently as 2023, can bounce back […]

2025 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Grant Holmes

With 2025 marking his first season as largely a full-timestarter, Grant Holmes emerged as one of the top arms in the Atlanta Braves’ pitching rotation. His season debut against the Padres during opening week hinted at something special, but in truth, the signs were there long before. Unfortunately an elevated amount of homers allowed, and […]

Yankees 2025 Roster Report Card: Miscellaneous Position Players

Every year during our annual Report Card series here at Pinstripe Alley, we’re generally pretty thorough with who we grade. Obviously, we do full reports on the Aaron Judges and Max Frieds of the roster, but we all will take in depth looks at the likes of J.C Escarra and Ryan Yarbrough. However, there are […]

Royals sign infielder Kevin Newman to a minor league deal

The Royals announced they have signed utility infielder Kevin Newman to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. Newman is a 32-year-old right-handed hitter, and an eight-year MLB veteran, mostly with the Pirates. He played in 56 games with the Angels last year, hitting .202/.209/.272. Newman was originally a first-round pick by […]
