Can the Padres Rotation Be a Strength in September?
While sporting the worst offense in baseball, the San Diego Padres were simultaneously rolling out one of the worst rotations. The rotation was a combination of Michael King, Walker Buehler, Randy Vásquez, Lucas Giolito, Germán Márquez, Griffin Canning, and JP Sears. And to make matters worse, Nick Pivetta went on the 60-day injured list on […] The post Can the Padres Rotation Be a Strength in September? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Payton Tolle’s 2026 Leap Has Been Essential for Red Sox
For some, it’s the high fastball velocity and elite extension. For others, it’s the five-pitch mix. For everyone, it’s the Magnum P.I. mustache, niche references, and interview gems. Payton Tolle is one-of-a-kind on and off the diamond. And he’s been one of the key factors in Boston’s absurd two-month turnaround. The Boston rotation was a […] The post Payton Tolle’s 2026 Leap Has Been Essential for Red Sox appeared first on Just Baseball .
Alejandro Kirk Is Keeping the Blue Jays in the Race
The Toronto Blue Jays entered the 2026 season as reigning AL Champions thanks to their run to Game 7 of the World Series last year.

Among […] The post Alejandro Kirk Is Keeping the Blue Jays in the Race appeared first on Just Baseball .
Could Yordan Alvarez Win the Triple Crown Along With His MVP?
By now, I think we can all agree that Yordan Alvarez is a special player. Since his debut in 2019, Alvarez has posted a wRC+ of 160 or better three times, with 2026 tracking to be his fourth. A career .300/.397/.579 slash line and 166 wRC+ puts you in a category that few players ever […] The post Could Yordan Alvarez Win the Triple Crown Along With His MVP? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Marlins Notebook: Huge Ninth-Inning Rally, Junk, Edwards Takeaways

Kyle Leahy Is Just What the Doctor Ordered for the Cardinals
One of baseball’s biggest mysteries is the starting pitcher. Finding innings in a game that’s become so synonymous with injury is hard. So much so that teams have started to introduce young hurlers to the big leagues in a bullpen role – and it’s working. The Brewers turned Freddy Peralta and Corbin Burnes into monsters […] The post Kyle Leahy Is Just What the Doctor Ordered for the Cardinals appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Guardians Are Surging at the Right Time
The Cleveland Guardians are one of the more well-oiled machines in baseball.

Is Willson Contreras the Best First Baseman in the AL?
It’s hard to overstate how important Willson Contreras has been to the Boston Red Sox. Through all the ups and downs Boston has had, Contreras has been one of the few consistent spots on the team, all while having a career year. His leadership and fire are present every game.

Did Jesús Luzardo Cost Himself an Even Bigger Payday?
To acquire an elite starting pitcher in Major League Baseball, you have to be willing to pay a premium. The Philadelphia Phillies were willing to do so with Jesús Luzardo.

The year is 2021, and there is a right-handed pitcher standing at 6 feet, 8 inches and making waves down in the Dominican Summer League.
