Kyle Hurt has been on the cusp of getting some sort of run in the majors with the Dodgers, but sadly nominative determinism has spoiled most of the last two seasons. The right-hander out of USC, who came to the Dodgers along with Alex Vesia in the 2021 trade of Dylan Floro to the Marlins, […]

It’s a challenging task to find a player who, in a very specific way, better represents the evolution of baseball, and particularly pitching, than Edgardo Henriquez. Not so long ago, a pitcher with his natural abilities would be seen as the jewel in the crown of a bullpen and someone whose production or lack thereof […]

Anne Rogers has a Winter Meetings preview. The trade market seems the most likely way for the Royals to find those bats they need. They are willing to part with the biggest area of depth: Pitching. All-Star lefty Kris Bubic is perhaps the likeliest trade candidate, but the Royals might not find what they’re looking […]

The addition of Ty Adcock to the bullpen could mean several things for the San Diego Padres. It could be a sign the team is not going to rest on the success of the past and look to build on a strength. It could mean that Mason Miller or Adrian Morejon, perhaps both, will be […]
