2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell Payton Tolle, a towering lefty who started his first professional season in High-A Greenville a few months ago, tore through the minor league system and showed a burst of promise before his lack of command on his secondary pitches got the best of him.

A couple months ago, I talked about the Cardinals somewhat odd pitching depth situation. The pitchers who were supposed to be solid MLB depth for the 2026 season (if not in the rotation) got hurt. Tekoah Roby, Cooper Hjerpe, Tink Hence and Sem Robberse without injuries were supposed to all be pitchers you were relatively […]

The Phillies made a bit of a surprise trade last offseason when they acquired Jesús Luzardo from the Miami Marlins in exchange for one of their top prospects in Starlyn Caba.

The Orioles selected Kade Strowd in the 12th round of the 2019 draft. The West Virginia product became Rule 5 eligible after the 2022 season, but Baltimore did not feel any pressure to protect the reliever. Strowd reached Double-A Bowie in 2023, but the O’s got away with leaving the Mountaineer off the 40-man roster […]

Despite the ALCS going a full seven games and the Blue Jays not needing to travel anywhere before the World Series starts, we’re now sitting through day three of no baseball.

32 Years Ago Today I remember the moment. I remember thinking that win or lose, we would be okay. The Blue Jays had Pat Hentgen ready to be our starter in Game 7, and he had a great start in Game 3. But I’m happy with the way it ended. No matter how many times […]

The Orioles farm system has a number of prospects who did some truly exciting things in the course of the 2025 season. The organization added a wave of intriguing talent in the July amateur draft and still another wave as it traded away veteran players from a failing team going nowhere to stock up on […]

We’re only guaranteed four more baseball games in 2025 before spending an entire winter dealing with outlandish trade ideas and fake accounts spreading false rumors. Let’s all try […]

Hello, friends. There are now 154 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2026. The World Series remains for some entertainment over the next week-plus, though it’s not going to help you out today because that doesn’t actually start until tomorrow. Having three four full days off after the end of the ALCS is pretty ridiculous, […]
