This was a game the Houston Astros (43-45) needed to win if they were going to have a shot to win their 6th straight series. It didn’t start well, but it did end well. Astros starter Mike Burrows (W, 4-8) surrendered 3 runs in the first inning on 2 hits, 2 walks and an HBP, […]

MLB Trade Rumors: Yankees & Rockies Linked In Proposed Trade

To say the New York Yankees haven't gotten much offensive production out of the catcher's spot is a massive understatement. 29th in the majors in OPS, 28th in batting average, tied for 28th in home runs.  And while they've often been linked to Ryan Jeffers of the Minnesota Twins as a trade candidate, let's take a look at a proposed trade from Christopher Kline of Fansided that would send a much better catching option to the Bronx Bombers. New York Yankees receive : Hunter Goodman, C Color...

The Twins Have Five Weeks to Find Their Identity

Midway through the 2026 season, it’s still hard to get a grasp on the Minnesota Twins. They entered Sunday 2.5 games back of the final Wild Card spot in the American League. Still, with a 39-45 record, it’s hard to tell if they’re contenders or just a team benefiting from an expanded postseason format. In many ways, the Twins are running out of time to find out.
