Good morning, LSB. The Rangers got smacked around by the Astros last night, falling 11-2 and dropping out of first place. Evan Grant writes about the Rangers faceplant. No one’s more disappointed than Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi. Corey Seager looked good in his return to action, about the only positive from last night. Shawn McFarland […]
The Minnesota Twins have already made three trades to bolster the roster, and it doesn’t sound like they intend to stop there.

As the 2026 MLB trade deadline approaches, Tarik Skubal continues to be at the center of blockbuster trade speculation. While […]
Last week, I wrote about some of my favorite lightly rostered players to invest in for the second half. Included in that group was Chicago rookie Braden Montgomery, whose recent surge in production happened to coincide with his crossing of the 100-at-bat threshold that has often been a benchmark for when rookie hitters start to […]
Diamondbacks News Comeback Win Puts Diamondbacks in Second Wild Card SlotGabriel Moreno delivered the go-ahead hit, and Brandyn Garcia earned the save in a Diamondbacks win over the Guardians. Bratt’s Best Start Yet Leads DiamondbacksThe young rookie left-hander allowed only one run through five innings of work, keeping the Diamondbacks in the game for an […]
Blake Snell struck out nine in four scoreless innings for Class-A Ontario in his third rehab start on Wednesday this week. On Friday Snell told reporters at Dodger Stadium he will make another rehab start before returning from the injured list, this time back with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday against Salt Lake. From Bill […]
The White Sox have held at least a share of first place since July 4, and a total of 49 days total this season. And yet with a ridiculously light schedule for the second-place Cleveland Guardians (three games back, playing .500 ball), it’s no guarantee the South Siders will be able to hold on to […]
We're officially past the two-thirds mark of the MLB season. Four months in the rearview mirror and two months still to go. This is the time of year when certain managers will take their foot off the gas pedal. Don't be one of those managers. Keep your foot on the gas and make the necessary […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have gotten themselves into the trade deadline fever with just a few days left to go. Matt Arnold woke up early on Saturday morning and completed a trade with the Cleveland Guardians that is sending reliever Craig Yoho and outfielder Blake Perkins to Cleveland for catcher Bo Naylor and pitcher Codi Heuer. […]
It’s August. And that means fall… camp. God, I swear that joke gets funnier every. single year. Mizzou’s official preseason kicks off tomorrow with media availability for Eli Drinkwitz, the coaches and just about every player on the roster – at least according to their media release – which means we’re about to get in […]
Training camp for the Arizona Cardinals is in full swing. Players return to practice on Sunday, August 2, and on Monday, August 3. Both practice sessions begin at 4:00 p.m. and conclude around 6:00 p.m. This year’s camp has plenty of new bodies. RELATED: TRAINING CAMP CB OUTLOOK On Friday, the Cardinals lost cornerback Jaden […]
Good morning! With Tristan Peters' walk-off base on balls Thursday afternoon , he secured the first back-to-back walk-off winners for the White Sox since 2023. He also marked the thirtieth recorded instance in franchise history of a walk-off walk, and the first time since August of 2015.

(54-50) Gwinnett Stripers 3, (48-56) Durham Bulls 4 Box Score The Stripers bats were held in check most of the night, in their narrow defeat to the Durham Bulls. Owen Murphy got the start for the Stripers and put together a solid, but not spectacular start. He danced around a lot of work on the […]
Hello everyone, and welcome to August. The M’s suffered another gut-wrenching loss, this time to the Twins by a 5-3 final with the bullpen failing to hold a slim lead. Anyway, here’s another random prompt for you: What is the MLB team you think about the least? For me it’s probably the Reds. In Mariners […]

After making the trip across Chicago, the Yankees opened their series on the North Side with a win over the Cubs on Friday afternoon. Led by a good outing from Will Warren, the Yankees got homers from Amed Rosario and Spencer Jones, and that proved to be enough for a victory. Thanks to the win, […]
David Lesky performs an autopsy of the Thursday “ultimate grand slam” the Royals gave up to lose to the Twins. This is the real moment that I believe the “anyone but him” answer is arguably the right one. I said it before. You can’t bring Strahm in to that spot. See if you can blow […]

Entering the 2026 season, it would have been hard to imagine the New York Mets having a fire sale by the time the August 3rd trade deadline came around. As the deadline looms mere days away, the Mets are open for business for anyone not named Christian Scott, Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing, and Juan Soto.

Yeah, ummm…, the Giants didn’t win this one. If you watched the whole game, I’m sorry, but the writing was on the wall pretty much from the National Anthem. The Padres are the hot team. They’ve got something to play for in terms of the postseason. The Giants are a loosely affiliated gaggle of guys. […]
