Addison Barger played in 69 games for the Blue Jays last year. It wasn’t totally successful, hitting .197/.250/.351 with 7 home runs. Before the season, he was number three on our top prospect list. Tom wrote: Barger is listed at 6’0” and 210lbs, and looks as physical as that suggests. He’s added over 50lbs since […]

The San Francisco Giants have kept their cards remarkably close to their chest during Buster Posey’s year-plus tenure. The Willy Adames signing a year ago was surprising, and the Rafael Devers trade was downright shocking. On the surface, Posey and the ownership crew have been a little bit more open going into their second offseason. […]

While the scouting reports that go with each player are behind a paywall, I can share the rankings. I don’t think it’s unfair to say that the […]

Overview Voting Overview 2025 Review: There’s really not much to say about Tristin English’s 2025 season, especially when it was only seven games and 24 plate appearances. Even though his stats aren’t good at all, I wouldn’t even call his season a failure. After six long years grinding in the minors, including a 2024 season […]

When the Yankees lost Juan Soto to their crosstown rivals last offseason, there was no one-to-one replacement available. Instead, the team’s front office was forced to pivot to a group of veteran additions across the diamond. This consolation package, which included outfielder Cody Bellinger, first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, and closer Devin Williams, was headlined by […]

As Michael mentioned in the Lukewarm Stove yesterday , Royals lefty Kris Bubic is garnering some trade interest right now, according to Will Sammon at The Athletic . Given the Cubs’ reported interest over the summer, and given how extremely compelling he was looking as a trade target at that time, I wanted to give this rumor a little more attention.
