Tonight’s the final night of the Winter Meetings, as a lot of folks are starting to depart Orlando after a whirlwind few days. The Braves were involved in a few rumors but nothing turned concrete. Maybe that’ll be the case in the near future? We’ll see what happens. Anyways, the floor is yours and I […]

Paul Toboni made a surprising but exciting decision yesterday when he named Ani Kilambi the new general manager of the Washington Nationals. As the GM, Kilambi will serve as the second in command to Toboni, handling more of the day-to-day aspects, including, but not limited to, waiver claims and lower-level trades. At just 31 years […]

I had a thought process. Early this morning, I was reading about the Nationals’ trifecta of relative youngsters: Paul Toboni, their new head of baseball ops, is 35. Newly-hired manager Blake Butera is 33. And now, Toboni has added Ani Kilambi to do the day-to-day stuff as GM, and Kilambi is 31. You add any […]
The Miami Dolphins are officially at a crossroads with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, and Russell Wilson's ugly exit for Denver is history they should learn from.
After sorting through and writing about the Fangraphs prospect update in recent weeks, I got to wondering about some players who weren’t on this list of prospects and who might find themselves on it after the next update. Who in the system is not on a prospect list NOW but could well be by this […]
Three of the top relief pitchers on the free agent market this offseason have signed three-year deals, as Edwin Díaz has departed to sign with the Dodgers, former Padres closer Robert Suarez has signed with the Braves, and Devin Williams has signed with the Mets. We’ve already taken a quick look at the current state […]
The Rule 5 Draft just wrapped up and for a fourth straight year the Washington Nationals made a selection. This time they took Griff McGarry, a pitcher from the Phillies system. The 26 year old has elite stuff but has pretty major control questions. If McGarry can throw enough strikes he will be a strong […]
As expected, despite earlier denials, the rumors about the Brewers possibly trading starter Freddy Peralta continue to tick up. The starting pitcher market in free agency and trade is sufficiently robust that I do wonder whether the Brewers would be able to get the kind of huge return they’re undoubtedly seeking. But they were always going to listen. It’s the M.O. So, with that in mind, it’s also unsurprising to learn that Peralta is not the only significant Brewers pitcher drawing trade ...
We are currently in one of the deadest periods of the dead MLB offseason, but fear not! The Winter Meetings are on the horizon, and with them will come some singings and trades as well as numerous “team is interested in player” reports that seem to regurgitate the same information you’ve read for months. On […]
Good morning! There’s snow on the ground in parts of Boston today and the winter meetings are right around the corner. We’re in the thick of the offseason. So what’s next for the Sox? Well, here’s a reminder that we don’t really know: Maybe they’ll get a big bat! Maybe they’ll get more pitching! Maybe […]
The Arizona Cardinals are the longest tenured continuous operating pro football club in America. Only the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League have been in continuous operation longer in North America. The Bidwill family has owned the Cardinals since 1932. Charles “Blue shirt Charley” Bidwill bought the team from Dr. David Jones, who was […]
The Royals managed to jump the leak train entirely when they abruptly announced this morning that they had acquired left-handed relief pitcher Matt Strahm in exchange for right-handed reliever Jonathan Bowlan. This trade must have come together quickly and easily because most transactions during the MLB offseason are broken hours, if not days, in advance […]
The Minnesota Vikings will hit the road to take on the New York Giants of New Jersey. The two teams are playing out the string with their young QBs at the helm. Jaxson Dart (with an ‘x’ because his parents are cool) has shown flashes of promise in his rookie year. Series Record: 19-13 Road […]
LOS ANGELES – A full postseason share for the Dodgers, who won the World Series for a second straight season, is worth $484,747.57 in 2025, part of a total $128.2 million player pool for the postseason, a source confirmed to True Blue LA. Players’ share of the postseason pool is determined by gate receipts from […]
With the other needs generally filled (aside from perhaps some bullpen depth), the discussion within Braves Country has focused in on starting pitcher as the clear remaining need this offseason for the Braves. Some look at their solid (although injury-riddled) rotation depth and see no need, but the frequency of pitching injuries in the modern […]
1914Clarence “Pants” Rowland was named White Sox manager, replacing Jimmy Callahan after a 70-84-3, sixth-place season in 1914. Rowland, who got his nickname from wearing oversized pants during his minor-league playing days, had been a minor league skipper for about a decade, without any particular distinction. It was somewhat of a surprise that owner Charles Comiskey […]
MLB Rumors: Luke Weaver and the New York Mets, and Brad Keller and the Philadelphia Phillies, have agreed to free agent deals, per multiple reports. Weirdly, Weaver and Keller are each reportedly getting two year, $22 million deals — the same amount that it was reported yesterday that the San Francisco Giants and Adrian Houser […]
