40 in 40: Julio Rodríguez is the Edgar

Nine years ago, there’d been Julio Rodríguez’s before. Each year, dozens of teenagers consummate handshake deals often made when they were middle schoolers, making them millionaires in theory, if not in actuality. From Venezuela to Taiwan, Brazil to Cuba, but perhaps most of all in the Dominican Republic, their signing is a celebration. Nine years […]

40 in 40: There’s something in Bryce Miller’s arm

Not Jacob Misiorowski. Not Paul Skenes. No, not even Stephen Strasburg. The best starting pitcher debut this century belongs to none other than Bryce Miller. In the first five starts of his career, way back in 2023, Miller threw 31.1 innings, allowed four runs on 13 hits, walked three, and struck out 28. By Game […]

40 in 40: Robinson Ortiz: Caribbean fusion

Before staff writer Zach Mason his most treasured southpaw, the acquisition of Gabe Speier was first the root of a beloved, now-prescient, joke from Jordan Schusterman, one half of the Cespedes Family BBQ duo. Magicking relievers from the fringes of rosters into high-leverage dynamos is difficult work, but Seattle’s reputation has been well-earned. The 2022 […]

40 in 40: Luke Raley, Bunting About Architecture

Luke Raley’s alma mater is Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio. Founded in 1856 as a female seminary, the school initially aimed to educate the gentler sex in the domestic arts and etiquette, but gradually became a cradle of the suffragist movement, hosting speakers like Jane Addams and Susan B. Anthony and educating the women’s […]

40 in 40: Gabe Speier is not a good lefty reliever

Is Gabe Speier a lefty? Yes. Is he a reliever? Yes. Is he good? Yes. And yet, to describe him as a good lefty reliever is a disservice. There’s something about describing someone as a lefty reliever that feels caveated. It always reads as implying that a pitcher is only good “for a lefty” or […]

40 in 40: Luis Castillo, The Happy Project

A decade ago, I went out to an art show. Visiting my uncle in Vienna, Austria, I took a break from Metaxa-fueled family video marathons for a trip to “The Happy Show,” a traveling installation I caught at the city’s Museum of Applied Arts, headed by Austrian artist Stefan Sagmeister. Malleable mind that I was, […]

40 in 40: Carlos Vargas, tough stuff

Carlos Vargas probably isn’t the worst reliever in baseball.  Vargas threw 77 innings for the Mariners in 2025. It was eighth most by any reliever in MLB. With a 4.59 FIP across all those appearances, he finished with -0.6 fWAR — tied for last among qualified relievers. The team tried to hide him in the […]
