Twins Struck Out Twice Trying To Land A Frontline Starter

Former GM Insists That One Team Above All Others NEEDS To Sign Skubal
Tarik Skubal is a Los Angeles Dodger. Like we all thought he'd be. But he's still in line to be a free agent at season's end, and word is he'll be asking for the biggest contract ever for a pitcher, at over $400 million. And frankly, if there's any pitcher in the game today who deserves it, it would be the two-time Cy Young winner, the best pitcher in the game. Where will Skubal wind up signing this winter? Do the Dodgers really need him going forward after this season? They've sti...

Former Batting Champion Retires At Age 33: 'Too Much Pain'
It was like he fell off a cliff. After a batting title and two All-Star seasons, former Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson was on top of the baseball world by 2022.

He was a regular .800+ OPS man, but fell off stunningly to .582 in 2023, then into the .400s in '24 and '25. Anderson has announced his retirement from baseball in an emotional statement. Emotional T...
