Maryland baseball freshman Ty Kaunas stood in the batter’s box in the fifth inning with opportunity on his shoulders. Trailing for three innings, the shortstop had two runners in scoring position, and looked to reverse a frustrating hold that Georgetown had on the Terps Tuesday afternoon. With a 2-2 count, Kaunas swung and lined a […]

After an offseason full of turmoil with the Brewers’ broadcast plan, the team has a new home on Brewers.TV, an offshoot of MLB.TV, which is now owned by ESPN as part of the league’s new media agreement.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of Gerardo Perdomo signing a long-term contract with Arizona. At the time, he had played four seasons for Arizona, and while there was some concern about this blocking Jordan Lawlar at the shortstop position, it was generally received warmly. Perdomo had played just over 400 games for the Diamondbacks at […]

When the San Francisco Giants made the unprecedented decision to hire Tony Vitello as their next manager, it was understood that there would be some hiccups along the way. There’s a learning curve for every first-time manager, and that’s doubly true for one attempting the unheard-of leap from college to the Majors with nary a […]

Cousins admits to lamenting that specific loss against the […]

Opinion: Stop Trying to Trade Isaac Paredes. The Astros Need Him. There, I said it. I don’t want the Houston Astros to trade Isaac Paredes. And every time I hear another expert, another national analyst, or even another Astros fan casually toss his name into trade proposals like he’s some expendable spare part, it makes […]

Spencer Miles is a 25-year-old right-handed pitcher. The Blue Jays picked him up in the Rule 5 draft on December 10th, 2025 from the Giants. Miles was a fourth-round draft pick in 2022. He missed the 2023 season after back surgery and made just four appearances in 2024 because of a flexor strain, which ended […]

An already strained labor-management dynamic in Major League Baseball was thrown into further chaos Tuesday morning. MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark is expected to resign from his post according to The Athletic and ESPN.

Looking to give him more chances to play, the A’s are reportedly set to get second baseman Zack Gelof some time on the grass this spring in an effort to boost his versatility. Which makes sense! Offseason acquisition Jeff McNeil looks like he’ll be getting the majority of the reps at second base (with an […]

Something vaguely resembling a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game will occur on Saturday. Until then, we’re in grainy cell phone video of batting practice land. I’ve actually never been to the Jays’ spring training home in in Dunedin (the Cactus League in and around Phoenix is much more accessible from here in Calgary), but I […]

In 2025 the starting pitching was a bright spot for the Pittsburgh Pirates, with 2025 CY young winner Paul Skenes being the headliner and with young pitchers looking to make an impact, the starting pitching could be a force again in 2026. Skenes is coming off a really strong 2025 season, finishing with a 10-10 […]

Yesterday, Fangraphs released their top 100 prospect rankings. It is always interesting to see their rankings because they are not afraid to go against the grain. Eric Longenhagen always does a great job over there. At least when it came to Nats prospects, there were not any massive surprises. Eli Willits was ranked as the […]

Voting for the final spot in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings was neck and neck, with both Ricky Cabrera and Mason Neville, at times, leading the voting. But when the clock expired at the arbitrary time that I enforced, it was Cabrera who was six votes ahead for spot #20 on the list. A quick […]

Today we look at the Cubs young second baseman, who is in the utility infielder derby this spring. 23-year-old James Douglas Triantos has dealt with high expectations since he was drafted by the Cubs in the second round in 2021, and had some immediate success, hitting .327 in the Rookie League and following that up […]

Busch Stadium is one of the anchors of my childhood. My family was never able to be a part of any playoff or World Series games, but there are still several moments that have stuck with me for decades. When you talk about Busch Stadium, you have to be specific about which one you’re talking […]

Welcome to Larissa’s Lessons, a weekly takeaways series in which some combination of Karen, True and Dylan will break down the biggest takeaways from the weekend’s games. We love an alliteration and puns around here, so be prepared for some word play. Because the Tigers are playing a ridiculous number of games in a weekend […]

There isn’t a lot of news coming out of the Jays camp yet. The first spring game is this Saturday, 1:00 Eastern, against the Phillies. We get a lot of games with the Phillies, as their spring home is about a 15-minute drive from Dunedin. The big baseball news is that Tony Clark is resigning […]

After an agonizing series of delays, Callum Smith and David Morrell Jr are officially set to meet in a tantalizing light heavyweight showdown for the interim WBO title on April 18th at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena. Hometown fighter Smith (31-2, 22 KO) is coming off a cracker of a fight with Joshua Buatsi last February, […]

Rob Refsnyder was one of the worst players in MLB from 2015-2021. He’s now a crucial member of the Mariners’ title run. Refsnyder posted -1.0 fWAR in the seven years that followed his MLB debut in 2015. It wasn’t just one bad season but the slow accumulation of negative value across several years and teams. […]

Perhaps unsurprisingly, L.A. Metro voted to approve the L.A. Aerial Rapid Transit project, also known as the Dodgers Gondola project, after a rowdy meeting reminiscent of Parks and Recreation on December 3. Declarations from the uninformed aside, it was a bit of an ask for the agency working with Zero Emissions Transit, the non-profit running the Dodgers Gondola […]
