Friday morning Rangers things

Good morning, LSB. The Rangers were off yesterday. Evan Grant’s weekly stock report details the slamming closed of the wallets by Rangers ownership. FanGraphs ranks all 94 prospects moved at the trade deadline. And longtime Giants broadcaster and voice of MVP Baseball 2005 Mike Krukow is retiring at the end of the season. That’s all […]

2026 Mizzou Football Preview: Meet Your Quarterbacks

The biggest indicator of success for Mizzou football, and really any program, is quarterback play. Excellent play at the position fueled the team’s 2023 Cotton Bowl run, while inconsistency caused the team to take a step back in 2025. Now, the Tigers enter 2026 with plenty of intrigue at the quarterback position. The starter has […]

The Orioles’ next wave: Nine young players whose roles just got bigger

Whatever speculation there was about Orioles GM Mike Elias being both a buyer and seller at the trade deadline, he didn’t do any buying, and he didn’t just tinker—the front office broke all our hearts, of course, by trading Adley Rutschman, their franchise catcher and 2019 first-overall pick, to the Red Sox. But they also […]

Do you still think of Max Fried as “our” guy?

Tonight, the Braves will face Max Fried for the first time ever — they missed facing him when the Yankees visited Atlanta last year. (The three games in that series involved a bullpen game, a Will Warren start, and a Marcus Stroman start.) Fried’s been a Yankee for about a season and a half now, […]

Has Andrew Painter turned a corner?

Andrew Painter was a bit of a surprise call-up last week, as the 23-year-old was preparing to make another start in Triple-A when the Phillies decided to bring him back to the majors after a two-month demotion. He performed well in that spot start last Friday, going six innings while allowing two runs on just […]

Did the Red Sox Sell Too Low on Marcelo Mayer?

The Boston Red Sox capped off a busy deadline by sending former fourth-overall draft pick Marcelo Mayer to the San Francisco Giants for left-handed reliever Erik Miller. Just a month ago, this trade seemed unlikely. But the Red Sox completely turned their season around and became buyers at the deadline. Boston needed bullpen depth for […] The post Did the Red Sox Sell Too Low on Marcelo Mayer? appeared first on Just Baseball .

Why Tigers were intrigued by River Ryan in Tarik Skubal trade discussions

The Detroit Tigers grabbed attention last week after trading pitcher Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for pitchers River Ryan and Brady Smith and outfielder Zyhir Hope. Many believed that it was a win for the Dodgers, who acquired arguably the most sought-after player at the trade deadline. The Tigers, however, were […] The post Why Tigers were intrigued by River Ryan in Tarik Skubal trade discussions appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Dodgers notes: Gavin Stone, Shohei Ohtani, playoff roster

So far this season, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is once again leading the Dodgers in pitching wins after he led the team last year. Two years ago, right-hander Gavin Stone was tied for the team lead in wins during the regular season, but he’s still yet to take the mound for the team since. Stone had his […]

Will Cubs Extend Seiya Suzuki or Go Cheaper as They Await Prospects?

Ian Happ isn’t the only Cubs outfielder facing free agency. Power-hitting right fielder Seiya Suzuki is also due to test the market, though his consistent-enough numbers give him a slightly better chance than Happ of remaining with the Cubs. I’d give Matt Shaw the edge over Kevin Alcántara for the right-handed backup/platoon job, and I … The post Will Cubs Extend Seiya Suzuki or Go Cheaper as They Await Prospects? appeared first on .

Is 2026 the most memorable Red Sox season of all-time?

I don’t know how to explain the 2026 Red Sox and I don’t know anyone else who does. As the recent A’s series showed us, even when they’re bad, they’re somehow good. They simply cannot lose right now, which isn’t how baseball is supposed to work, or has ever worked for as long as I’ve […]
