The Thanksgiving turkey is gone, and apparently, so are the bargain deals in free agency.

In the latest episode of Dbacks Dispatch, we broke down the massive signings of Dylan […]

We’ve officially reached the month of December, the busiest month every offseason in terms of free agency signings and high-profile trades. So far, there’s been just one major free agency signing, Dylan Cease to the Blue Jays for 7 years and $210 million, and a cluster of other notable ones, such as Josh Naylor back […]
The Colorado Rockies announced Monday afternoon that they had hired Nicky Schmidt to be their new senior vice president and chief revenue and strategy officer. Schmidt—of no relation to former Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt—spent the previous 14 years of her career with the Cleveland Guardians. She has held a variety of different roles with […]
MLB RUMORS — It’s December 1 (still one week out from the Winter Meetings), and so far, the 2025-2026 MLB offseason has been pretty active. One way or another, a handful of name-brand free agents like Josh Naylor, Shane Bieber, Jack Flaherty, Dylan Cease, Raisel Iglesias, and Ryan Helsley have come off the board. While other big-name players like Sonny Gray, Grayson Rodriguez, Brandon Nimmo, and Marcus Semien have been traded. For the Cubs, Shota Imanaga chose to return on the qualif...

We are at the beginning of the free agent spending season and one year away from a collective bargaining fight between management and labor. This means one thing: it’s once again time for MLB owners to tell us all that they totally have a girlfriend, but you don’t know her because she lives in Canada. […]
How Acquired Jaylen was an undrafted free agent signed by the Braves following the 2025 MLB draft. What Were Expectations? Thanks to his injury history, Jaylen came in without any expectations. He appeared in 15 games for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets where he had a 10.6 K/9 rate, but sometimes struggled with his command […]
October results Well, all streaks must come to an end – even Cal Ripken’s iron man run of consecutive appearances. And the same goes for me remembering to post the confidence poll. I forgot to do so at the start of November, probably being disenchanted with baseball due to the whole “Dodgers winning the World […]
Yes, we’ve already covered the trade rumors about the Royals and Jarren Duran. But one thing that has persistently been raised in the rumor mill since mid-season is that the Red Sox want Cole Ragans to be a part of a deal in which they’d give up Duran. So it makes sense to revisit what […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: This might be the most memorable walkoff home run in Cubs history, at least in modern times. Thus you probably don’t need to be told too much more about it. Lightly edited, here’s the article I wrote about it in 2023 on its fifth anniversary. David Bote’s ultimate grand slam on Aug. 12, […]
How Acquired Ethan Workinger was a non-drafted free agent signed by the Braves in 2020. What Were Expectations? After posting a .561 OPS for Double-A Mississippi in 2024, there were not any expectations for Ethan heading into the 2025 season.2025 Results Ethan was a key starter for the Columbus Clingstones, appearing in 120 games. He […]
Thinking about the 2026 Braves from a forecasting perspective is a pretty fraught exercise. You could say, “Hasn’t it generally been a fraught exercise?” But, honestly, not really! The 2018 Braves were forecasted to be largely irrelevant. They surprised everyone and pulled off a once-in-a-generation-for-a-franchise turnaround. Did that carry over into 2019? Well, not really […]

Even as the St. Louis Cardinals stand to post their third sub-.500 season in four years, and even as attendance and fan support plummets, and even as new management explicitly undertakes a rebuilding process that could take years, Willson Contreras reportedly wants to stick it out. In other words, don’t expect Contreras to follow Sonny Gray out the door in the next Cardinals sell-off trade. He has a no-trade clause, it sounds like he still plans to wield it: . @dgoold reports that Wi...
The New England Patriots added starting center Garrett Bradbury to the injury report due to an illness on Monday. He is now questionable for a Week 13 primetime matchup against the New York Giants. Signing a two-year contract with the Patriots during free agency back in March, Bradbury has started all 12 games at center […]
According to a report from Jeff Passan, the Mets remain ‘in the mix’ for Kyle Schwarber alongside the Red Sox, the Reds, and the predicted favorite, the Phillies. Passan “would be surprised if [the Winter Meetings] end and he doesn’t have a team.” Schwarber, entering his age 33 season, has played in parts of 11 […]
I spent a fair amount of time last year pretty concerned with the Detroit Tigers left-handed options in the bullpen. Too much time, as it turned out. While Tyler Holton had a tough year compared to his 2023-2024 performance and Brant Hurter went through a rough stretch of his own, the Tigers relievers handled left-handed […]
Billionaire New York Mets owner Steve Cohen's $8 billion Metropolitan Park development in Willets Point is on the verge of receiving one of three new casino licenses in New York City after receiving its latest approval.
The series against the Dodgers ended in defeat, Orion Kerkering literally throwing away any chance the Phillies had at bringing the series back to Philadelphia for a fifth and deciding game. It was a bitter disappointment to take, another opportunity wasted with the core they have in place. Yet, as we’ve seen something emerge from […]
The calendars have flipped over to December, which means baseball moves are incoming. Buckle up, folks: there will be signings and tradings galore before you know it. Some might even be made by the team you’re rooting for! But while that all happens in the forefront of the league, we have our side quest to […]
