2025 Athletics Season In Review: Sean Newcomb

Sean Newcomb’s first go-around with the A’s was nondescript, similar to his entire career to that point, but after the Red Sox signed him for $1M and decided to move on from him mid-season, the A’s decided to give Newcomb another whirl. And it paid off in spades. How Was He Acquired? On May 27th, […]

We said we were going to cover every single person who suited up as a member of the Atlanta Braves in 2025 and we mean it. Nathan Wiles made one appearance and pitched all of one (1) inning for the Atlanta Braves in 2025. That’s one more inning than each and every one of us! […]

Yankees 2025 Roster Report Cards: Mark Leiter Jr.

Mark Leiter Jr. is a middle reliever. Regardless of how this season went, barring an unforeseen breakthrough, he was going to make his money in the fifth and sixth innings. After being acquired at the 2024 trade deadline for Jack Neely and Ben Cowles, he struggled mightily, giving up an unsustainable amount of barrels and […]

Will Those Seiya Suzuki Trade Rumors Come Back This Offseason?

Do you remember those Seiya Suzuki trade rumors last offseason? I don’t blame you if you’ve blocked them out. They were odd and eventually fizzled out (once Cody Bellinger was dealt), but not before being addressed directly by Suzuki’s agent, Joel Wolfe, who flat out confirmed that Cubs President Jed Hoyer approached him about the possibility: “Jed has been very communicative about it,” Wolfe said via Jordan Bastian at Cubs.com . “He told me what teams they’ve been talking to. I don’t think he...

Rays Rumors: A Starting Pitcher Reunion

In last weekend’s column from Marc Topkin, he strongly suggested that the Rays are not only in the market for a veteran starting pitcher than can project to the starting rotation alongside Shane McClanahan, Drew Rasmussen, Ryan Pepiot, and Shane Baz — he also suggested it might be a familiar name. This makes some sense! […]

A New Third Base Option Hits the Market: Sung-mun Song

Korean third baseman Sung-mun Song has been posted for MLB teams to sign by his KBO club, the Kiwoom Heroes. The 29-year-old third baseman has been one of the best players in Korea the last two seasons, and it seems like he and his club are looking to cash in while they have a good opportunity. The negotiating window for players from the KBO is 30 days, unlike the 45 days for NPB players, so this will play out well before the end of the year. This is absolutely huge. Sung-mun Song (a...
