For today’s birthday boy, we have ourselves an interesting, injury-riddled, and often controversial character to dive into. Michael Pineda, once acquired by the Yankees in a fairly high-profile deal, looked to be a major part of the New York rotation through the early-mid 2010s. It didn’t quite work out that way, as injuries and trouble […]

When the Detroit Tigers traded left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin to the Texas Rangers at the trade deadline in 2024, it was never likely to be an impactful deal.

I found that anywhere you go, ballparks are really proud of their food and drinks. Yeah, captive pricing plays a part, but it’s usually a 50 to 75 percent markup on restaurant food.
