Giancarlo Stanton is one of the most powerful hitters in the history of baseball. No player hits the ball harder or farther. Nobody swings the bat with the sheer force that he does. If injuries didn’t cost him big chunks of his Yankees tenure, there’s no telling how many home runs he would have. But […]

Five years after the Orioles drafted Colton Cowser with the #5 overall pick, he remains a frustrating enigma. Who is the real Cowser? Is he the player who provided power, defense, and positive vibes during his AL Rookie of the Year runner-up performance in 2024? Is he the guy whose startling swing-and-miss tendencies and self-inflicted […]

The Milwaukee Brewers have an obvious choice at the top of their second-base depth chart, one that should be a big part of, at least, the next few years. After that, it’s a little less clear, but there are a bunch of potential options, and as long as Brice Turang’s health holds out, we shouldn’t […]

There are only a certain number of things that make me feel young. The odd workout that I used to do when I was 18 (and still try to do that like I’m 18), staying up late to watch sports (basketball kind of sucked didn’t it), and jokingly celebrating my half-birthday even though I’m now […]

The San Francisco Giants have had a fairly healthy Spring Training but, like all teams, they’re not 100% healthy. There have been a few players notably absent, but on Wednesday, the team released some injury updates for their ailing players. Most notable were updates to a pair of relievers, lefty Reiver Sanmartin and righty Joel […]

After being relatively close to winning for the last few votes, Ixan Henderson won the vote for the 16th prospect pretty handily. Both polls I ran in fact weren’t really contests at all. I am been pretty vocal in wondering if Henderson would be higher if not for his current injury scare. I don’t think […]

For the final nine games of the 2025, the Miami Marlins ran an experiment in which their assistant pitching coach, Alon Leichman, made pitch selection decisions and communicated those to the catcher via signs from the dugout. This is a practice that has long been used in the college game but has never seen widespread […]

The Royals have someone new joining the broadcast team. On Wednesday, the Kansas City Royals announced that the Royals.TV team had hired a new sideline reporter for the 2026 season. The new hire, Bridget Howard, is a Kansas City-native and lifelong Royals fan as her dad, David, played with the club in the 1990s, according […]

Let’s be frank: The Brewers telecast on Marquee was disconcerting, to say the least, just like the Reds broadcast the other day. Sharing that content is another way to enhance the bottom line, I guess, but it sure sucks from this fan’s point of view. The ESPN/MLB.TV crap is off-putting to start with. So many […]

In our group of 40+ FV prospects, there are a quite a few young pitchers that we’re just in a holding pattern with. Like out 23rd ranked prospect, right-hander Michael Massey, it’s a talented group of young arms, but just about all of them have been sidelined with injury since joining the pro ranks. That’s […]

One thing that has been a constant for the last few seasons is how deep the Dodgers’ pitching staff is to start Spring Training. Another thing that has been a constant is a few weeks into the season, there are inevitably issues and/or injuries and the Dodgers need to pivot from their original plan. This […]

URBANA, Ill. — The Illini are officially set for their first Big Ten series of the season. After a lightning delay cancelled the game against EIU (and a non-conference matchup with Michigan State), Illinois is preparing for some (finally) good weather down in Southern California. The No. 20 USC Trojans have so far gone undefeated, […]

The World Baseball Classic officially got underway last night with the first game in the Tokyo Dome that featured Chinese Taipei and Australia. There are a couple of lower-level Phillies prospects on Team Australia, but most of the names you would recognize won’t start official WBC play until tomorrow. Meanwhile, we still have plenty of […]

Well, we have all heard it. We have even read about it. We have seen it in the headlines on every Arizona Cardinals podcast. And each one of us has our own opinions and thoughts. So, let’s just discuss it: Should the Cardinals sign Green Bay Packers free agent QB Malik Willis? Should the franchise […]

There’s nothing like the early days of spring to get the imagination going. Pitchers show up with new pitches, hitters show up with improved swings and approaches, everyone is in the best shape of their lives, and hope springs, well, eternal. Among those bright spring training traditions is letting one’s optimism run wild when it […]

If you want a neat encapsulation of this Reading side at the moment, you’ll find it in the Royals’ six February games. Having lost at AFC Wimbledon, Leam Richardson’s team secured back-to-back wins over Wigan Athletic and Wycombe Wanderers, then consecutive draws against Bolton Wanderers and Port Vale, before ending the month on a victorious […]

It probably was not the exact start Joe Musgrove had in mind for his return to the mound in the San Diego Padres’ 2-2 tie with Great Britain at the Peoria Sports Complex on Wednesday, but it was positive. He got one out in the first inning, allowed a run and was taken out with […]
