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 […]

Good morning Birdland, We are just one day away from the beginning of the 2025 Winter Meetings. Baseball fans get pretty excited for this week.

Teams are starting to arrive in Florida for the Winter Meetings, getting ready for a few days of what we hope are transactions that light up the hot stove. That means that there will be trades, maybe a free agent signing or two and everyone’s favorite part of the Meetings, the Rule 5 draft. For […]

Jack Curry kind of set the Yankee world on fire earlier this week on YES Network’s “Yankees Hot Stove” program, seemingly implying that no major moves were planned for this winter. We’re still reasonably early in the offseason, so I’ll believe that interpretation when the team heads down to Tampa, but more than one report […]

If you are my age, I don’t need to tell you much about Fernando Valenzuela. He was bigger than life, bigger than baseball for a few years there. They called it Fernandomania. He came up in 1980 at 19 and pitched 17.2 scoreless innings over 10 games, earning two wins and a save. In the […]

Freddie Freeman was born in California but both of his parents were from Ontario, Canada, and the first baseman has played twice for Canada in the World Baseball Classic. So it was only natural that Freeman teamed up with famous Canadian star Ryan Reynolds for charitable purposes, filming an ad raising money for the SickKids […]

Good morning. One of baseball’s foremost insides stoked the hot stove, yesterday: Retaining free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman is a priority for the Boston Red Sox. But some with the club view Bo Bichette, previously a division rival with the Toronto Blue Jays, as an intriguing alternative. That’s from Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon, putting […]

We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Monday might be a day of infamy or a beggar’s banquet for the Cubs. They’re unlikely to dine at the head table and figure to be offering a goodly percentage of one-year deals, preferring, seemingly, to keep all of their ducats in a row preparatory to […]

Good morning, baseball fans! It’s been a bit slow on the San Francisco Giants news front during this not-so-hot stove season. So today I thought we could watch something fun to help keep warm (both mentally and physically, as it’s been absolutely freezing in Northern California this week). So let’s take a look at a […]

In an already very mixed-bag season, November’s games conjured up an especially eclectic set of Reading results and performances. The Royals played four games (FA Cup x1, League One x3; at home x3, away x1), resulting in two wins (Stevenage and Blackpool), a draw (Rotherham United) and an extra-time defeat (Carlisle United) under new boss […]
