Good morning my dear friends. Let us explore all of the happenings that the baseball world has to provide. In Mariners news… Around the league…
We’ve gone through the AAOP entries and made up our minds on the finalists. Several Amazin’ Avenue writers and authors chipped in to come up with the list of finalists, and now it’s up to you, the community, to vote for the champions. The finalists, in no particular order, who found ways to make the Mets’ […]
I love to do this every now and then for both football and baseball. The general idea is that removing names is a purer way to look at numbers. We feel a certain way about players positively or negatively. There is nothing wrong with that, but those emotions often get in the way of dispassionate […]

Just a stray thanks to you, the reader. I never forget that, if you’re not out there reading these words, I don’t get to write them. The timing doesn’t really matter on these things, so it isn’t a worry or a complaint. Just an observation: feels like this is pretty late in November for the Cubs not to have made their first small move. Now, to be fair, they retained Shota Imanaga via the Qualifying Offer, which is a major move, but that’s more of a procedural thing. What I’m talking abou...
The Dodgers haven’t made any big splashes so far this offseason, but don’t worry—there’s plenty of winter left. Here’s what’s been happening so this week. Dodgers Notes We all know the Dodgers are gunning for a third World Series win, but who can we expect to contribute in major ways? Theo DeRosa at MLB.com outlines […]
Despite missing the playoffs last year, the Orioles are still entrenched in their “winning window.” Former top prospects Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, and Jackson Holliday all have multiple years of control remaining, and complimentary pieces like Jordan Westburg and Colton Cowser are still getting better. The future appears bright for rookies Samuel Basallo and Dylan […]
Earlier this week, I took a look at players outside of the Milwaukee Brewers’ organization that could be potential fits with the team this offseason. While the news that Brandon Woodruff accepted the qualifying offer and will be returning to the team next year is an exciting prospect for fans, it did mostly render those […]
This week’s corrections: draft pick mix-ups, Rangers lore, milestone madness, and definitive proof that Eric shaving his head isn’t content.
After Tuesday night’s divisive trade of Grayson Rodriguez, the Orioles’ biggest need is now bigger and more obvious than ever before. If Mike Elias has a Charlie Day board with his plans for the offseason, starting pitching was already plastered all over it in bold-lettered sticky notes. Those notes have now been taken down, underlined […]
The Detroit Lions (6-4) and New York Giants (2-9) will square off in a Week 12 battle at Ford Field. While the Lions will be looking to get back to their winning ways, the Giants are trying to salvage what looks like a lost season. “This team has been in a ton of these games,” […]
We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Rumors abound but few things have materialized so far. *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. {$} means limited views. Italics are often used on this page as sarcasm font. The powers that be have enabled real sarcasm font in the comments. Food for thought: Please be reminded that Cub […]
The MLB offseason is creeping along and with it, another important date can be marked off the calendar as today, Friday November 21st at 5pm, the deadline will pass for teams to off contracts to their arbitration eligible player or to non-tender them and thus make them free agents. Entering the offseason, the Rays had […]
Hello, friends. There are now 126 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2026. It will probably take several more of those days to digest the Grayson Rodriguez-Taylor Ward trade. That’s going to be a thing that’s prominently on my mind until the Orioles do a bigger move. It’s pretty much all that anyone else is […]
Through 11 weeks of the season, the Detroit Lions find themselves on the outside looking in when it comes to the NFC playoffs. It’s not a spot they could have anticipated finding themselves in, but there’s still time for them to figure out what it will take to get back into the playoff picture and […]
There were two coaching hires that probably would have been universally praised. Whoever lands Lane Kiffin if he leaves Ole Miss, and former Penn State coach James Franklin. Virginia Tech got James Franklin and it’s a home run. Hokie Nation, we got our guy 🤝 Coach Franklin’s here to win 🏆 ➡️ https://t.co/qFtXyikfDR 🏆 https://t.co/dA4VWjes9z … Continue reading »
Overview Voting Overview 2025 Review Philip Abner rose quickly through the system as he made the jump from high A Hillsboro all the way up to even appearing down the stretch for a completely depleted Dbacks bullpen and made his major league debut September 19. The lefty appeared in 53 minor league games in 2025 […]
A lot of things went wrong in 2025 but none were so clearly made to work NOW and so clearly a failure then the Nats' answer at 1B. The Nats brought in Nathaniel Lowe with a trade* to man the position in 2025-2026 likely with an eye for having him possibly be there beyond. He had been a sneaky good 1B, one that ranked 5-10 overall with consistent solid hitting since arriving in the majors and glove that he worked into average to good. There was one thing they didn't consider though... Nat...
Good morning, LSB. Jeff Wilson writes about Travis Jankowski finding peace of mind in rejoining the Rangers. You know our guy’s gonna be out in the outfield grass barefoot again. The Athletic’s Jim Bowden says closers and catchers are getting the most buzz at GM meetings, with the Rangers involved in both. And your Surprise […]
Anne Rogers talks to J.J. Picollo on his objectives this offseason, including upgrading the outfield. “That’s one of the objectives. Our outfield hasn’t been as productive as we needed it to be over the last two or three years. We’re back at it again, trying to figure things out. We’ve got a young player who […]
Hello folks! Awards season has come to a close, and hopefully the stove will start to heat up as we approach Thanksgiving. Let’s check in on the state of the sport. In Mariners news… Around the league…
MLB likes to see what other leagues are doing and try to copy them for more fan engagement in their league. One of the things that MLB has taken is the end of year awards in which they allow fans to vote for the “All-MLB team”, a clear reference to things like All-Pro in the […]
Meet the Mets It’s possible that the stage is being set for Edwin Díaz to sign with another team in free agency. A few things were clarified about the Mets’ intentions this offseason at this week’s general manager meetings. The Mets added to their organizational depth by signing infielder Jackson Cluff to a minor league deal. […]
The baseball offseason is only three and a half months. It’s not that long from The World Series to Spring Training. And there’s the hot stove and free agents and everything. It feels pretty long though. So what do you miss the most about baseball? I miss that from mid-February to November, there’s a game […]
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … Roob’s Random Observations: What would a healthy offensive line mean for Eagles? – NBCSP3A. I really thought their performance vs. the Vikings and Giants signaled a real breakthrough for the Eagles’ offense – 28 points and a season-high 361 yards in Minnesota and a season-high […]
