The Houston Astros have announced they have outrighted OF Taylor Trammell and RHP Logan VanWey to Triple-A Sugar Land. Trammell has the right to elect free agency. With these moves, the Astros currently have 38 players on their 40-man roster. Trammell, a former first round pick of the Cincinnati Reds in 2016, has never fulfilled […]

Next up on the contemporary Baseball Era ballot is Gary Sheffield. Sheffield spent 10 years on the Writers’ ballot. He got 11.7% of the vote in his first try and made it to 63.9% on his last try. Looking at his stats, Sheffield was a better player than I thought he was back in the […]

This Christmas classic is particularly appropriate for a baseball conversion. While Rudolph was originally the creation of a Montgomery Ward copywriter for a 1939 seasonal promotion, he was made famous by the rendition of legendary cowboy singer-actor Gene Autry. Autry was the original owner of the Angels, heading the team for 35 years through seemingly […]

The bigger news dropped earlier today, when Mark Feinsand reported that the Chicago Cubs were among the three biggest threats (along with the Astros and Orioles) to sign free agent starter Ranger Suarez this offseason. You can read all about his fit, cost, and attractiveness right here if you missed it. But at the end of that report, Feinsand also mentioned another guy on the Cubs’ radar … a 30-year-old free agent starter they were also considering at the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline … a 2023 ...

The Atlanta Braves have made regular usage of the outright waivers system as of late and this time, they’ve done a double dip in that particular pool in order to pick up a couple of pitchers. In one fell swoop, the Braves announced that they’d claimed both RHP Osvaldo Bido and RHP Anthony Molina off […]

Given how much they tore it down at the Trade Deadline, and given the ongoing attempts to sell the franchise, it has been fair to surmise that the Minnesota Twins wouldn’t be doing a whole lot of adding this offseason. Moreover, it was fair to assume that the Twins would continue to be open for business if trade partners wanted to send over an offer. The rumors therefore followed, with chatter on Byron Buxton , Joe Ryan , and Pablo Lopez , among others. Nothing has come to fruition, ...

3-9-0. That is what the Arizona Cardinals. A club that is teetering on losing double-digit games this season. There are five games left on the calendar. Two are home games. The Cardinals have already been stricken from the playoff invitation list. No, sir, no custom-printed invites will be sent to 8701 S Hardy Dr, Tempe, […]

Whenever the Los Angeles Rams have needed to get back on track, the Arizona Cardinals are always lingering on the schedule.

With the Winter Meetings fast approaching, the big question that looms for the Nationals is the fate of LHP MacKenzie Gore, and whether he will start the 2026 season in DC, or with another ball club. So far, rumors have been kept to a minimum, with the possibility of a Gore trade still being about […]

As I write this, we are only a few days away from the beginning of the MLB Winter Meetings. There seems to be a consensus that the St. Louis Cardinals will be active, but what will President of Operations Chaim Bloom and his team accomplish over the next week? Let’s make some somewhat educated guesses. […]

The Rays are weighing their 2026 shortstop options: Taylor Walls, Carson Williams, or an external stopgap to buy Williams more development time. I don’t think an outside addition is necessary. Williams is ready for a full-time MLB role, and his 2025 season showed he has outgrown Triple-A and begun adjusting to major-league pitching. Proved Himself […]

Once again, there will be an epilogue after the lightly-edited recap repost. This concludes this offseason series about Cubs walkoff heroes. Mike Tauchman grew up in the […]

If you are a free-agent relief pitcher in the top tier, this might already have been a very good winter for you. We have already seen three players sign deals with an annual value of $14 million per year or more. Raisel Iglesias got things going, returning to the Braves on a one-year contract for […]

The Yankees’ offseason has gotten off to a quiet start. That fact, in and of itself, is not particularly alarming. The baseball offseason, despite the popular ‘hot stove’ term, rarely moves all that quickly at first. But when a rival team makes aggressive moves early on, fans start to get antsy. The Blue Jays, who […]

The Winter Meetings start this weekend, and there’s one topic on the mind of Buster Posey and every other executive gathered in Orlando: the 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List. Our communal ranking of the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization is obviously the most critical thing that happens in the […]

The Arizona Cardinals are… tanking hurting. Jonathan Gannon announced today that the team would not get Kyler Murray back this season, but also had updates on a number of other players.

When Indiana men’s basketball’s 2025-26 schedule was released earlier this year, one date jumped off the page immediately: December 6. No matter what, the Hoosiers would take on Louisville for a semi-home game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. It makes sense, the program makes efforts to get to the state’s capital most seasons and has […]

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon announced to the media today that quarterback Kyler Murray will not return this season due his foot injury. This will likely be the end of the Kyler Murray era in Arizona, and signals that Gannon and his staff will start to try and find another quarterback to pair with […]

The baseball Winter Meetings begin this weekend, which means the chances of the Phillies actually doing something within this timeframe are more heightened than ever. This is the place where business usually happens at a pretty steady pace and the Phillies are no stranger to that. The Winter Meetings is where Trea Turner agreed to […]

The Mets enter the Winter Meetings already having added a significant free agent in Devin Williams, and pulled off a swap of two veteran players when they received Marcus Semien from the Rangers in exchange for Brandon Nimmo. With a roster still very much in flux, there is plenty more to do, and the Winter […]
