Major League Baseball is set to hold the Rule 5 draft at 2 PM EST today, and the Mets will be making the eighteenth pick in it thanks to their 83-79 record during the 2025 season. The complete order of the draft is as follows: Teams that select a player in that phase must pay […]
The draft lottery is over and the order for the 2026 MLB Draft is pretty much set at this point, with the exception of picks moving around due to free agent signings. The Atlanta Braves are set to pick with the 9th pick, their own first round pick, and the 26th pick, which is the […]
I have been examining a few players who have been rumored to be available on the trade market. Today, I will look at Washington Nationals’ lefthanded starter MacKenzie Gore The background Originally drafted third overall by the San Diego Padres in the 2017 draft, Gore became a top ten prospect and reached the major leagues […]

Dan Quinn spoke to the media before Washington Commanders practice. He said that Jayden Daniels won’t play on Sunday when the team visits the New York Giants. He aggravated the left elbow injury that cause him to missed three games. He was chasing down a Vikings defender who had just intercepted him, when he was […]
We’re going back to the pitching staff with today’s Season In Review series, taking a look back at a high-ceiling bullpen arm that had a tough time during his rookie campaign. Right-hander Grant Holman only made it into a couple dozen games this past year before suffering a couple of injuries that put an early […]
The National Baseball Hall of Fame today announced the winner of the 2026 Ford C. Frick Award, which honors excellence in broadcasting. It’s Joe Buck, who has called more World Series games than any other broadcaster and, despite some of the hate he receives, was perfectly good at the job: Congratulations to Joe Buck, the 2026 Ford C. Frick Award winner! https://t.co/SLmPp6uaU7 pic.twitter.com/aS4ArsIC7E — National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ (@baseballhall) December 10,...
The most significant and boisterous agent in baseball, Scott Boras, held his annual Winter Meetings press conference yesterday, and was quick to draw various witty connections between star free agent slugger Pete Alonso (nicknamed the Polar Bear by former Mets third baseman Todd Frazier) and his hometown team, the Tampa Bay Rays: The two-time Home […]
The Winter Meetings conclude with the Rule 5 draft, which will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m. CT. The Rule 5 draft is a way for teams to select players buried in deep organizations to give them a shot at a big league career. Players are eligible if they are not on a […]
As the end of spring training drew to a close, the Yankees were in desperate need for pitching depth, particularly at the back of the bullpen. Suddenly, Ryan Yarbrough, the veteran lefty who spent five years with the Tampa Bay Rays and had signed a minor league deal with the Toronto Blue Jays during the […]
Last September, as you might remember, MLB had some issues with the Ballpark app being hacked. A number of people lost tickets as a result, though most were able to recover them. I wrote about this at the time and added: MLB didn’t ask me, but if they did I would also give them this […]
In 2025, Michael Harris II completed his first 20/20 season after spending the first three seasons of his big league career knocking on the door of that particular club. If we just left it at that, then you’d think that Harris had himself a fairly straightforward and perfectly fine season out there in center field […]

After striking out in somewhat embarrassing fashion yesterday in their pursuit of slugger Kyle Schwaber, who signed with the Philadelphia Phillies for 5-years and $150 million, it appears the Cincinnati Reds haven’t completely given up their attempt at improving their sub-par offense. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Reds haven’t jumped back into […]
We are in the middle of Winter Meetings now, with plenty of rumors abounding of potential player movement and free-agent signings. Not much has changed for the Twins in terms of their personnel so far, but we’ll see as the offseason continues if the team will actually do anything to improve their roster in a […]
It’s not supposed to be this easy. When Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers two offseasons ago, there was the expectation that the Dodgers would eventually win a Championship. Yes, the current run of success with Dave Roberts at the helm from 2016 to 2023 was largely the envy of baseball in all categories except […]
With Edwin Díaz having signed a three-year deal with the Dodgers, the Mets have lost perhaps the best reliever to have ever pitched for the franchise. Let’s take a look at how his time in Queens compares to that of the Mets’ other best relievers, a group that isn’t nearly as strong as the franchise’s […]
I remember exactly where I was when the news broke that the Phillies were trading for Jesús Luzardo. I was at home, and I interrupted my busy work of listening to Christmas music to do a writeup (Wonderful Christmastime is a great song, and I won’t hear any arguments to the contrary). “A new arm […]
The MLB Draft Lottery announcement has now come and gone and with the dust settled we now know the Braves will have the No. 9 selection overall. While this was a bit of a disappointment (with the Braves having a good chance at landing one of the prized shortstops with a top 4 pick) there […]
As mentioned in the rumor that our own Scott Coleman shared on Tuesday, the Braves are apparently being pretty aggressive in their pursuit of improving their pitching staff ahead of 2026. Alex Anthopoulos has hinted at it and Walt Weiss in his press conference yesterday straight-up said that they’re going to need great pitching if […]
Diamondbacks News Jake Lamb Returns to Arizona as Player Development StafferFormer Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb is set to join the franchise’s player development staff, according to a report by MLB’s Steve Gilbert on Monday. Diamondbacks Land 15th Pick in MLB Draft LotteryTwo division rivals will select ahead of Arizona in July. Diamondbacks Receiving […]
We had some fun with the ridiculousness that is the Winter Meetings rumor mill this morning, but we do in fact have credible reporting that the Red Sox have engaged in trade talks involving at least four former all-stars: Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte, Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager, Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes, and Cardinals […]
The Nationals bullpen was a major problem in 2025 and the issue is even bigger now that Paul Toboni traded away the team’s most promising reliever Jose A. Ferrer. If Harry Ford becomes a quality starting catcher, the trade will be worth it. However, losing Ferrer makes the Nats bullpen even more of a question […]
While this article is being written, midweek European fixtures are still underway, so any late injury or rotation news should be checked in our NMA pre-deadline update. Looking ahead to GW16, we get a top-versus-bottom showdown as league leaders Arsenal host Wolves — the league’s best defence, with just nine goals conceded in 15 matches, […]
Morning, all! There have been several teams inquiring about Corey Seager this offseason, but Evan Grant reports that the Rangers aren’t actively shopping him. The Rangers need more starting pitching and don’t have much in the way of resources to get it, but for some reason seem kind of ambivalent about Jacob Latz as a […]
