For north of a decade, the San Francisco Giants have struggled to draft in the first round. While virtually every other team in baseball has had a handful of success stories out of the early parts of the draft, San Francisco hasn’t had much to boast about. With the 2026 draft being less just over […] The post The Giants Cannot Afford to Miss on Another First Round Pick appeared first on Just Baseball .
The latest news and updates on the Houston Astros: Cristian Javier will return to the Astros in the bullpen: Javier’s inability to maintain effective velocity has plagued him since he returned from Tommy John surgery.

Twenty-four years ago today, the Blue Jays traded Raul Mondesi, along with cash, to the Yankees for Scott Wiggins. The return wasn’t significant—Wiggins only pitched three games for Toronto—but the true benefit was shedding Mondesi’s salary and removing an unhappy presence from the clubhouse. Toronto had acquired Mondesi from the Dodgers in November 1999 by […]
The Milwaukee Brewers are 53-31 on the season, the best mark through 84 games in franchise history. Last year, they set their team record with 97 wins, and are on pace to break it again in 2026. As they are one of the best teams in Major League Baseball, it stands to reason that they [...]

Just as I was trying to figure out who to write up next, Baseball America popped out their 5th mock draft, this time with a new name as the Phillies pick. It doesn’t sound like there’s sourcing for this or actual rumors of Phillies interest so much as there is “It’s the 36th pick. Who […]
The Red Sox have player 85 games. They have 77 games remaining until the end of the season. But the real end of the season might just be the trade deadline. In that respect, they have just 33 days remaining. That’s only 26 games. Sitting at 37-48, the Red Sox have some work to do […]
Astros right-hander AJ Blubaugh has become a popular ask from other clubs who’ve engaged in trade talks with the Astros, reports Chandler Rome of The Athletic.

I get it. Steve Cohen doesn’t want to admit that he waited two years for something that wasn’t worth waiting for. He also wants to preserve his reputation around MLB and prove that he’s really not Bobby Axelrod, the “fictional”…
We asked. You answered. The answers seem to indicate a common thread: Astros fans have more faith in Hunter Brown to have a dominant 2nd half than they do in Mike Burrows, Tatsuya Imai or Spencer Arrighetti to be even decent the rest of the season. The poll was fashioned in such a way to […]
