With the top of the free-agent market thinning out and Kansas City once again shopping in the second tier, one name stands out as a realistic fit: Harrison Bader.

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Sonny Douglas Gray and, although he was born and raised in suburban Nashville, if you’d listened to his introductory press call yesterday, you would’ve thought he grew up in a triple decker off Dot Ave: What does it mean, in his case, that he’s “more […]

Well, here’s a reminder that we don’t really know: Maybe they’ll get a big bat! Maybe they’ll get more pitching! Maybe […]

In baseball, there are typically two camps, (1) people who love prospects and the potential they bring for the long-term future of an organization or (2) people who see prospects as capital to be used to trade and improve the big-league club. San Diego Padres President of Baseball Operations and General Manager A.J. Preller has […]

Erwin Schrödinger once presented a thought experiment about a cat and a box. The cat, you see, is both alive and dead until the box is opened, and its true fate is revealed. A free agent is sort of like that: he is both signed and unsigned until the box is opened. We hope that […]

Happy Wednesday, everyone. Hard to believe we’re already into December. I’m not really sure where the time is going but it can only mean one thing: We’re getting close to pitchers and catchers reporting in February. Oh, right, and that whole holiday season, too, I suppose. While I’ll be writing a letter asking Santa Paws […]

They all knew what was coming: the trade deadline was hours away, and their teammate was about to be dealt. So they sat, talked shop, and said their goodbyes to a player who’d become a […]

When the Dodgers landed lefty Tanner Scott, they assumed that he would take over in full force as the team’s closer. Instead, the former All-Star blew 10 saves, put up an ERA of 4.74 and produced negative value in terms of both rWAR and fWAR. There’s still $40.25 million that Scott will receive over the […]
