Baseball history is full of great players. It is also full of players whose stories become intertwined with legends so large that they never quite stand on their own. Ernie Shore just happens to be one of those players. The former Yankee celebrates his birthday today, and while his career deserves recognition on its own, […]
The next step in profiling Seattle’s shot at defending their AL West throne, and a potential American League pennant bid, comes on the other side of the ball. Seattle’s pitching staff has the easiest task in the sport, in the sense that their hitters face the toughest task. T-Mobile Park, with its predictable dimensions, chilly […]
Outside of Edwin Díaz, the Mets’ bullpen proved to be volatile last year. While a number of factors contributed to that reality, one of David Stearns’ goals this offseason was to strengthen the relief corps. He started that process when he signed closer Devin Williams to a three-year deal, but he followed that up a […]
The Phillies’ starting rotation was very good in 2025. They led the majors in wins above replacement and had the second lowest ERA (with the lowest FIP). They also had quality depth, as they were able to withstand injuries to Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola that caused them to miss large chunks of the season. […]
Barcelona continue to be linked with moves for Alessandro Bastoni and Julian Alvarez in the summer transfer window, with the rumor mill seemingly adamant both players will arrive at Camp Nou. A new report from Diario Sport claims that Deco sees both players as “essential signings” and will prioritise bringing in the duo during the […]
In a really sad piece of news, the Nationals announced that Josiah Gray has been placed on the 60-Day IL with a Flexor Strain. This is a crushing setback for Gray, who has missed pretty much all of the last two seasons due to Tommy John. Now, the right hander is dealing with yet another […]

The outfield was a problem for the Orioles last year. Early-season injuries to Colton Cowser and Tyler O’Neill meant that the team rarely had their “first string” options all available at the same time. This did allow Ramón Laureano to break out and become a valuable trade chip, but the rest of the replacements struggled […]
Happy Tuesday! The Mariners concluded this year’s Spring Training with a 3-10 loss to the San Diego Padres, but a solid outing from starter Luis Castillo was one of the game’s highlights.

Over the course of the offseason, I settled on a new framing device for how to look at a baseball team and its chances of making the playoffs. The common thought around baseball goes like this: “You’re going to win 54 games, you’re going to lose 54 games. It’s what happens in the other 54 […]

Morning everyone and happy Tuesday! We knew since Friday that Luis Severino would be taking the ball on Opening Day. It wasn’t a shock and was well-deserved considering how he’s been pitching over the past few weeks across both Spring Training and the World Baseball Classic. Sevy gets Game 1 but now we know how […]
The Arizona Cardinals are in a great spot in this year’s NFL draft. They own the third overall draft slot. What isn’t a great spot is how they obtained such a gloriously high draft situation. Nobody wants to lose 14 of 17 games in a season. Free agency is still going as the transaction reports […]
I don’t know how to make this post any longer, because for whatever reason, Charter/Spectrum decided to announce this news with a weird tweet-of-an-image with no details. Now, you have to gaze at it too. There are no details, whatsoever. This was probably going to happen at some point this week given that Opening Day […]
This time of year is always a good time. Even when expectations for the White Sox are low, the weather is much better, baseball is returning, and we can have fun predicting how the season will pan out. We will start with catcher Kyle Teel, 24, whose MLB career got off to a fast start […]

Romeo Sanabria ended his 2026 Spring Training for the San Diego Padres with a bang. He hit a grand slam home run to right-center field in the bottom of the eighth inning that put the Padres ahead of the Seattle Mariners 8-3 en route to a Cactus League win in the spring finale at the […]
Hey, you. Yes, you. Are you a lurker who’s been watching Camden Chat from afar, waiting for the right chance to jump in and introduce yourself, only you haven’t found your chance? Have you been here for a little while but you’re not quite sure if anyone has noticed? Here is the one place each […]
Yesterday morning, we wondered whether Connelly Early or Johan Oviedo would nab the final spot in the Red Sox rotation. Come nightfall we learned that it would be… both of them? In a surprise move as they finalized the roster, the Sox decided that both Early and Oviedo would head to Cincinnati to help protect […]
The Ottawa Senators just got even more brutal news to their blueline. In the middle of a crucial late-season push, Ottawa lost not one but two defensemen in the same game, with both Thomas Chabot and Lassi Thomson now expected to miss time. It happened during a gritty 2-1 win over the New York Rangers , where the Senators allowed just nine shots on goal. Travis Green gave an update on both Thomas Chabot & Lassi Thomson post game: "They'll both be out for a while, that's about all I can...
