The Royals announced they have signed left-handed pitcher John Means to a two-year minor league deal. Means is a Gardner, Kansas native who was an All-Star with the Orioles in 2019, but has battled injuries the last four seasons. Means graduated from Gardner-Edgerton High School and attended Fort Scott Community College before being drafted by […]
The Milwaukee Brewers traded away their entire third base depth chart on Monday. It seemed they were going to be in need of bringing in additional infield depth right as spring training was getting started. They were left with just David Hamilton as the only infielder as an option at third base on the 40-man […]
Hello baseball fans, the hours are ticking down to the start of the 2026 baseball season. I haven’t covered baseball in several years, but it feels less gross than other college sports at the moment. While basketball and football are imploding, baseball keeps chugging along (don’t tell me if I’m wrong about this, I need […]
As you know, the Cubs have added quite a bit of advertising to Wrigley Field since the recently-completed renovation. This includes ads on the pads on the left- and right-field lines, on the doors on the outfield walls and behind the plate. There are also two advertising signs on buildings on Waveland and Sheffield, as […]
Just as we all thought that the San Francisco Giants were done signing Major League contracts, they went and signed another. Except there’s a catch: it’s not for a player who will contribute this year. In a crafty move that will no doubt upset the vast swath of fans who are still upset about the […]
Previous Winner Trevor Harrison, RHP20 | 6’4” | 225A | 2.61 ERA, 3.26 FIP, 82.2 IP (17 GS), 22.4% K, 10.7% BBA+ | 3.33 ERA, 4.26 FIP, 24.1 IP (5 GS), 23.8% K, 12.4% BB Harrison entered the season as Baseball America’s top pitcher in the system thanks to a cleaned up delivery and high […]
The last meaningful baseball game Roman Anthony played was back on September 2nd against Cleveland where he suffered a strained oblique that ended his season. The following week, ever untrusting of this ownership, we here at Over The Monster asked if Alex Bregman and Roman Anthony had already played their last game together. Well, today […]
It’s almost hard to believe, but we have a top 40 in the 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List. We only need four more ballots sent out and counted, and then we will have succeeded in once again ranking the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. The last chapter of the […]
If someone told you right now that over the first four full years of Sal Stewart’s career he would hit .274/.359/.432 and average 20 HR a season, would you take it? You’d probably take it! The first four years of Nathaniel Lowe’s career saw him do exactly that, as from 2021 through 2024 he was […]
Welcome to Hull City, and welcome back to Hull City for head coach Liam Rosenior. Any fond memories can wait however; we’ve got a win and a place in the FA Cup fifth round to get first! Both teams have been dealing with extreme fixture congestion for weeks on end, so we’ve got a bit […]
I have my complaints about the Hal Steinbrenner-Brian Cashman administration, with one of the big ones being that it’s not always clear where Cashman’s decision authority stops and Hal’s starts. The one thing you can never take away from the duo though is that when they want a guy, really want him, they pull out […]

The college baseball season starts today, which means it is officially draft season. I wanted to highlight a few college prospects that could be available for the Nats to select with the 11th pick. It is supposed to be a very good draft this year, so the Nats will have plenty of options. We have […]
Sports give us a socially acceptable outlet for our pettiness. They let us boo, roll our eyes, and carry grudges that would be wildly inappropriate anywhere else in life. You’re allowed to hate teams, from division rivals to big-market behemoths. Which team do you hate the most? There are several possibilities. Which team do you […]
A lot of factors go into a baseball team. Obviously, it begins with the players on the field – the ones who actually play the game. But above and below them is an interconnected web of factors which, eventually, leads to a win total for the season. Baseball, more than any other major game, is […]

Was today’s trade a precursor to another one coming soon? Today the Astros traded OF Jesus Sanchez to the Toronto Blue Jays for a former Astros fan favorite – OF Joey Loperfido. Clearly the Astros were sour on Sanchez after he performed poorly both at the plate (.199 AVG with Houston) and in the field, […]
With spring training officially rocking and rolling, this is definitely as good of a time as any to hear from both Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations/General Manager Alex Anthopoulos and the newly-promoted manager, Walt Weiss. Both of them spoke with the media one-after-the-other on Friday afternoon and the first thing on my mind was […]
Today we look at the Cubs’ newest rotation member, a flamethrowing righty acquired by trade from the Miami Marlins with tremendous upside. Edward Cabrera is 6’5”, 217 lbs. That’s a tall skinny drink of water with a buggy whip for an arm. He throws as hard as anyone when he’s on the mound. But he […]

The Seattle Seahawks are on the search for a new offensive coordinator (again), only this time it’s because Klint Kubiak was so good that it netted him a head coaching job. One candidate being looked at comes from the Arizona Cardinals. NFL insider Ian Rapoport wrote on Friday that the Seahawks will meet with 30-year-old […]
The Arizona Cardinals now have all of their coordinators in place, and most of their offensive coaching staff. What remains to be seen is how defensive coordinator Nick Rallis fills out the remainder of his defensive staff over the next several weeks. Here is what the staff for Mike LaFleur looks like. Offensive Coordinator – […]
Hansi Flick is known for being calm and composed but reportedly let rip at his players during the half-time break of Thursday’s Copa del Rey semi-final second against Atletico. Barcelona went in trailing 4-0 after a dismal showing and found Flick “angrier than ever since he took over the Barça bench,” according to Sport. The […]
The Kansas City Royals look to enter 2026 with a much-improved outfield over the, shall we say, less-than-stellar 2025 outfit. But they could still use another bat, preferably a right-handed hitter who could be a platoon guy as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos. Kauffman Stadium has been home to a few […]
