Utility player Mauricio Dubon was acquired by the Atlanta Braves over the offseason for shortstop Nick Allen. The Braves were looking to have a more flexible player and some offense. The Astros saved a little money and got a great defender. The returns have been pretty one-sided toward the Braves, however. Mauricio has put together […]
Friday Night was a mini redemption tour of sorts. Jose Altuve was stuck in the midst of a 0-12 slump, with visible frustrations boiling over prior to launching a decisive 3 run shot in the 6th inning. One week ago, teammate Tatsuya Imai had been rocked in Kansas City failing to survive even a single […]
The Houston Astros won't be in their usual spot at the top of the AL West this season. It's time to rebuild the farm system and to do that, surrender some key pieces of their lineup. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan , a trade of shortstop Jeremy Pena seems like an inevitability. His changing of agents last year to Scott Boras pretty much sealed his fate as a future former-Astro. It puts Pena in the same position that Kyle Tucker was in two offseasons ago. And we know what happened there. ...

The Boston Red Sox should view shortstop Jeremy Pena as more than a speculative trade-deadline name. They should see him as a practical solution to an infield problem that has followed them for too long. The Red Sox need stability, athleticism, and defensive reliability in the middle of the diamond. Pena would provide Boston a […]

It’s no secret that I was skeptical of the Los Angeles Rams trading for Trent McDuffie in the days before the move was reported. On this very site I penned a post titled “McDuffie is a slot merchant and doesn’t make sense for Rams”. I came around to the move when the Rams continued their […]
The Atlanta Braves are no strangers to bold deadline moves and 2026 should be no different. With shortstop Orlando Arcia no longer the long-term answer at the position and the Braves’ window of contention still very much open around Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, and Austin Riley, adding a legitimate defensive stalwart at short could […]

The Cleveland Guardians need an offensive boost. Not only has the lineup been underwhelming this season, but Jose Ramirez recently landed on the injured list.

The notion that no matter how good a wide receiver is they won’t succeed without a solid quarterback, arose during an engaging chat with a new friend yesterday.

I am loathe to say that something within the world of baseball is impossible for Aaron Judge. However, he’ll probably play right around 100 games this season if his IL-reduced projections are correct, and even he is not good enough to merit a fourth MVP award while missing that many games. Them’s the breaks. Those […]
