Craig Counsell praised the Cubs' offensive approach after Chicago erupted for six first-inning runs and cruised past the Detroit Tigers behind another strong outing from David Peterson. The Chicago Cubs wasted no time taking control Tuesday night, erupting for six runs in the first inning before cruising to an 11-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers at Wrigley Field.

It won't be easy, but the Toronto Blue Jays are going to have to say farewell to their ace of the last half-decade. With the trade deadline less than two weeks away, the Jays in dead last in the AL East, and Gausman a pending free agent, it's really the only smart decision. If Tuesday night was his final start as a Blue Jay, it wasn't a good send-off. Just 3 1/3 innings, nine hits, four earned runs, and now a 4.51 ERA on the season. Kevin Gausman on the potential this was his last...

Tanner McDougal kind of set himself up for this.
Upon being added to the 40-man roster last November , the high-ranking, hard-throwing White Sox pitching prospect repeatedly stated his eagerness to be in the majors, and his understanding that debuting in the bullpen might accelerate his arrival.

Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (48-48) won 3-2 (BOX SCORE) Sugar Land got on the board in the 2nd inning on a Guillemette groundout. Hendrickson started for Sugar Land and pitched well allowing 2 runs over 6 innings while striking out […]
Less than two weeks away from the MLB trade deadline, the Los Angeles Dodgers could be very active in trying to upgrade their roster due to a strong desire to go back-to-back-to-back as World Series champions.
Without loads of individual brilliance, the player of the day pick was clear with a dominating outing in Single-A. Player of the day Will Gagnon was nearly untouchable for the Tower Buzzers, delivering his finest performance to this point, holding the Giants to just three hits on his way to winning the game with a […]
Monday night’s game at Chase Field had everything the Athletics were hoping for. Looking to build momentum after a hard stretch that included a heavy loss to the White Sox 10 days earlier, Oakland came away with a 5-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. But by the final out, the score wasn’t the biggest story. […]

Over at ESPN, Jeff Passan and Buster Olney have the latest insight as the trade deadline approaches, and there are a couple of intriguing themes that will very much affect the Atlanta Braves.

Ronald Acuna Jr. got seven innings in the field and recorded four at bats for the Gwinnett Stripers, and in that time he looked fantastic. Acuna had a first inning single and two more hard hit balls while also being active on the defensive end. Ha-Seong Kim also had a hit in his rehab appearance. […]
It’s hard to believe that this coming January will mark ten years. I remember when I heard the news. It hit me like a slug hitting a deer. I had to sit for a few minutes, reading and re-reading the story. My brain refused to believe that the news was true, but eventually reality set […]
The Yankees and Pirates weren’t the only teams to get washed out of play on Tuesday night. In addition to numerous minor-league postponements, the only thing that could apparently stop the streaking Red Sox in their path was the rain. Like the Yankees, they will have a day/night doubleheader on deck today against the Orioles, […]
Happy Wednesday A’s fans! This afternoon, the Athletics will wrap up a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks before flying to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Twins this weekend. While there is a chance first baseman Nick Kurtz could return during the second half of this road trip, the A’s will be without hot-hitting […]
Good morning friends and happy Wednesday! The Mariners failed to get their offense going last night against Chase Burns and the Reds, dropping the middle match 4-2. How have you felt watching Eugenio Suárez find success during this series? I can’t help but be happy for him, even if I think letting him walk was […]

The MLB trade market is moving.
Don’t look now, but the Red Sox are 1.5 games away from having the third-best record in the American League. That mark is currently held by the co-leaders in the AL Central, with the Chicago White Sox (53-47) and Cleveland Guardians (54-48) in a virtual tie for first place. The problem with having the third-best […]

When you picture one of the premier arms on the market this coming trade deadline, a soft-tossing 30-year-old rookie doesn’t immediately come to mind. In the summer of 2014, the Kansas City Royals selected Foster Griffin out of high school 28th overall. Griffin never quite captured the first-round-pick pedigree over his six-year minor league career, […]
