Diamondbacks To Part Ways With Pitching Coach Brian Kaplan
The Diamondbacks will not retain pitching coach Brian Kaplan, reports Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. The Snakes will look elsewhere after the expiration of Kaplan’s two-year contract.

Padres Place Mason Miller On Paternity List
The Padres will not have their star closer available for tonight’s must-win Game 3. Major League Baseball announced they’ve approved Mason Miller’s placement on the paternity list. He’ll miss at least tonight’s game and can be away for a maximum of three days if the Padres extend the series. Wandy Peralta has been activated to the […]
Could The Yankees Move Luis García Jr. To Second Base Next Year?
The Yankees acquired Luis García Jr. from the Nationals at the trade deadline. Since then, García has been the club’s regular first baseman, with Ben Rice mostly in the designated hitter slot. Next year, perhaps the Yanks could mix things up by moving García back to second. “Obviously an infielder in his past,” manager Aaron […]

The Opener: Rays, White Sox, Yamamoto
The Yankees dropped Game 2 on Monday in large part due to poor defense. They became the first team since 2010 to have more players make an error than get a hit (h/t OptaSTATS on X). 1. Rays beat Schlittler for 2-0 lead With their patented brand of small ball and contact, Tampa Bay overcame […]
Offseason Outlook: San Francisco Giants
The Giants entered the season ostensibly trying to compete for a Wild Card spot. Injuries and poor performances from key veterans instead left them one of the worst teams in the league. Their infield has some talented but aging veterans, and the rest of the roster needs significant improvement, especially the bullpen. The front office […]
Red Sox View Curtis Mead As Early Favorite For Second Base Job
The Red Sox unfortunately didn’t get much of a look at Curtis Mead this year. Boston bought big on his breakout form in Washington, sending talented young southpaw Connelly Early to the Nationals at the deadline. Mead was hit by a pitch from Jack Perkins in his second at-bat in a Sox uniform, suffering a broken […]

Offseason Outlook: Toronto Blue Jays
The reigning American League champions couldn't even manage a winning record in 2026, as the Blue Jays fell to 79-83 and last place in the AL East. The Jays were set back by a ton of injuries, but beyond just hoping for improved health, the club needs to fix a lackluster offense. Guaranteed Contracts Vladimir […]

George Kirby’s Fastball Failed Him
Mariners right-hander George Kirby just put together the worst season of his career. He stumbled to a 4.33 ERA as one of the key contributors to a disappointing season for Seattle’s vaunted rotation. Kirby’s 4.20 xERA suggests he earned every bit of the poor performance. His strikeout numbers fell to career-low levels while his elite […]

Ty France’s Homecoming May Have Saved The Padres’ Season
Ty France was in the postseason spotlight for the most unusual of reasons on Saturday. The first baseman’s possible game-tying homer in the ninth inning of Game 1 of the NLDS was turned into a fly ball out to Jackson Chourio after the ball deflected off a cable hanging from the roof of American Family […]
Aroldis Chapman Passes Physical, 2027 Option Vests
Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman has passed his end-of-season physical, according to reporter Francys Romero. This was the last detail required to turn Chapman’s mutual option for 2027 into a fully guaranteed deal, so the veteran southpaw is now locked into at least a $13MM salary for his age-39 season. The final salary should fall […]
Where Does Jordan Westburg Fit For The Orioles?
Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg missed all of 2026 with multiple injuries. First, it was an oblique strain over the winter. Then, it was an elbow issue that resulted in Tommy John surgery. Westburg went under the knife in May. President of baseball operations Mike Elias gave a vague timeline for Westburg’s availability for the 2027 […]
The Playoffs Are Revealing The Future White Sox Rotation
The terms “starter” and “reliever” don’t mean much to the White Sox. The club has consistently employed openers and bulk pitchers in lieu of typical starters this season. The postseason has been no different. Sean Burke made a somewhat normal start in the clincher against the Astros, but two quasi-starters came in after him (Anthony […]
