Sometimes baseball teams need to move on from players and continue approaching the day-to-day challenges of the lengthy regular season.
The Yankees started their deadline dealing on Saturday sending off Camilo Doval to the Pirates, but that was an ancillary move to what their plans were. This team was always going to be buying, and it was only a question of who they would target and how many pieces they would get. Now the first […]

Per Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Yankees are acquiring infielder Luis Garcia Jr. from the Washington Nationals in exchange for four right-handed pitchers.

Seth Lugo was bad and Aaron Bummer’s Royals debut was worse as the Royals fell to the Rockies 8-1. It was just a couple of weeks ago that Brian Henry wrote that the Royals needed to learn from not trading Seth Lugo last year. Lugo put an exclamation point on that point today with just […]
I don’t know what I expect anyone to do about this. I am not sure there is anything that realistically can be done about this. But ye gods, the Yankee offense is putrid. Rancid. Foul. Pick your adjective. Regression and injury have laid waste to the Yankees and there is no 6-foot-7, three-time MVP and […]
With the MLB trade deadline around the corner and Cody Bellinger out with an injury, the New York Yankees have made a deal with the Washington Nationals. The New York Yankees mainly deploy Cody Bellinger in the outfield, but the 31-year-old is also a depth option at first base. With the veteran star out for at least a month because of a hamstring injury and the Bronx Bombers locked in a tight American League playoff race, now is the time for the organization to make a move. Ahead of the MLB ...

The Yankees completed a trade for one of the Nationals' surprising sluggers.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are in a tight race right now for a National League wild card spot. This is a team that feels a piece or two away which made this a very entertaining and interesting question for you guys. We asked you to pick a Pirate player from the last 25 years to add […]
Shiho Kuwaki won the AIG Women’s Open by defeating Esther Henseleit in a playoff. Not having any popular names in the playoffs reminds us how the LPGA Tour can produce dramatic, unpredictable theater.

The 49ers worked out edge rushers Andre Carter and Xavier Thomas after injuries hit the position, continuing their search for defensive line depth.
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Houston Astros scored seven runs. While Kumar Rocker was fighting for his life early in this one, the Rangers waited until the fifth inning before reaching base for the first time against some dude who had a 5.72 ERA for the Colorado Rockies last season. By that […]
Dodgers Shell Out for Skubal
The Tigers released Sean Guenther on Friday, according to his MLB.com transaction log. The left-hander hasn’t pitched in the majors since last May. He had been on the minor league injured list for most of the season prior to his release. Guenther made his MLB debut with the Marlins in 2021, giving up 22 runs […]
The Rays have informed right-handed reliever Craig Kimbrel that they are designating him for assignment, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Peralta, 30, was acquired by the Mets prior to the […]
After a three game series in which they scored exactly three (3) runs over 27 innings, I think I’m going to need to see proof of life photos for the Rays offense. We’ll get to the errors and pitching mistakes, I promise, but when a team scores only one very late run, we need to […]
With the Los Angeles Dodgers making the blockbuster trade for star pitcher Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers, there’s no denying that the already-stacked roster just got that much better.
