As the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline approached, the Yankees identified third base and the bullpen as the two areas most in need of reinforcement. They decided to attack the hot corner first, saving their bullpen bonanza for deadline day itself. When evaluating the available third base options, they found themselves at a fork in the […]
Money buys a lot in baseball, but when it comes to bullpen building, from the sharpest clubs to the ones behind the times, from the top payrolls to the lowest ones, all 30 teams are dealing with a level of unpredictability that’s too high for comfort. The season we just saw from the Yankees showed […]
Tyler O’Neill will officially be hanging around on the Orioles, or at least on the Orioles payroll, for another two years.

After the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 9 win over the New York Giants, head coach Kyle Shanahan said, “We’re worried it’s an ACL” when referring to first-round pick Mykel Williams’ injury. Williams was well on his way to playing a season-high in snaps against the Giants. Even after injury, he ended up playing 50 percent […]
Drama drives engagement so at the very least the fuel for the narrative was burning brightly.
Important insofar as these are relatively big names on the free agent market and impactful arms now available, but less so insofar as none of this is a surprise: top-tier closers Robert Suarez and Edwin Diaz have opted out of their contracts with the Padres and Mets, respectively. Suarez, 34, had two years and $16 million remaining on his deal with the Padres, so it’s not at all a surprise that he’s opting out. He will be able to blow away that guarantee in free agency, and the Average An...
How Acquired Owen Carey was selected in the 15th round of the 2024 MLB Draft. He was the overall 461st pick of the draft. What Were Expectations? There were some solid expectations for Owen as the Braves were able to agree to terms with him and sign him for $150K following the draft. Any time […]
The Colorado Rockies’ confusing search for a new head of baseball operations took several new turns on Monday.

Happy Monday Night Football to all. The Arizona Cardinals are on Primetime, by themselves. Not as a double header, not on some random Amazon Thursday Night Football. No, this is the big boy, the OG primetime. Here is everything you need to know about the game: Week 9: Arizona Cardinals (2-5) vs Dallas Cowboys (3-4-1) […]
Following a redemptive month of September where Ha-Seong Kim joined the Atlanta Braves, there was always a very strong possibility of Kim opting out of his deal in order to test the free agency market. It made sense for him and all the elements were there: He had a lovely September, he didn’t exactly seem […]
AJ Minter has exercised his player option and will remain a Met in 2026, according to Jon Morosi. Minter signed a two-year, $22 million deal with the Mets last winter, which included a player opt-out after the 2025 season. The longtime Brave got off to a sizzling start in New York, allowing no runs in […]
Defense has never really been the calling card for the Cincinnati Reds, at least not of late. This is the same franchise with the same owner and a lot of the same members of the front office who doled out big money deals to bring in Nick Castellanos for a corner outfield spot and Mike […]
INF Kevin McGonigle Weekly performance: 3 G, 4-9 (.444), 2 R, 3 RBI, 2 BB, 3 K Kevin McGonigle got the first couple of days off this week, but he was back at third base on Thursday. The man they call the Professor went 2-for-5 with his fifth double of the fall. A rare two-strikeout […]

So many things happened in Game 7 of the World Series, even just from the ninth inning and beyond, that it was hard to fully capture everything. “It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t pretty,” Kiké Hernández said during the postgame celebration on Saturday. “But we did the damn thing.” Here are some leftover notes, facts, and […]
With the World Series officially over, we can fully turn our attention to 2026 as the Yankees build a team hopefully capable of competing for next year’s crown.

Today is nomination day! After voting in the CPL, head to the comment section to nominate a new batch of prospects for Wednesday.

Inspiration. During the off-season, I wonder who will the Diamondbacks acquire? In contrast to free agent signings, trades have often provided the Diamondbacks with excess value. One example was trading for J.D. Martinez in 2017. Let’s catch up on him. J.D. Martinez Former Diamondback. In July of 2017, the Diamondbacks acquired him in a trade. […]
Today, as the baseball offseason begins, I’m beginning a series on great Cubs walkoff wins. Instead of focusing just on the win, though, these will focus on the individual responsible for the win, in this case Kiki Cuyler, who’s a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, though largely forgotten today.
