While the Red Sox were running over the entire American League on their way to their fourth World Series of the century, Nate Eaton was being drafted by the Kansas City Royals.

The Colorado Rockies have paid Kris Bryant $101 million to play 170 games. This breaks down to roughly $594,117 (and a whopping 65 cents) per game that Kris Briant has earned through the first four years of his seven year, $182 million contract that he signed prior to the 2022 season. In those 170 games, […]
Not many things went right with the 2025 Orioles season. One recurring problem was a lineup where a large chunk of the roster underperformed their expectations and almost nobody exceeded them. There were scattered exceptions. Ramón Laureano, signed as a righty-batting fourth outfielder, is one guy who managed to beat the expectations this year. The […]
A strong argument can be made that the Yankees’ strongest unit this past season was its outfield. They led all of baseball with 8.2 Wins Above Average, buoyed of course by Aaron Judge’s 5.6. But the outfield corps lost two-thirds of its starters when free agency began yesterday, with Cody Bellinger opting out of his […]
It would be different if the Tigers were getting their numbers up late in the recruiting trail with low-end three star recruits just to fill numbers. But that’s not what’s happening. In the past month, Mizzou has added its top four recruits according to 247Sports and On3, and have shown no signs of slowing down. […]
The pool of edge rush options for the 49ers at the trade deadline has decreased slightly. After landing Keion White last week, it is widely expected the 49ers will strike another trade on the defensive line, a possibility increased by the injury suffered to Mykel Williams in Sunday’s win over the New York Giants. Yet […]

Now that the fun begins, let’s put to bed one of the fallacies that is following the thriller that was Game 7: MLB doesn’t need a salary cap. That’s just crazy. MLB needs more owners to act like they want to do something other than create a tremendous profit for themselves. Not really a common […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. That epic World Series, one of the wildest of my lifetime, has sadly ended. The 2025 MLB season is over. Now begins the long, cold, and sometimes dreadfully dull offseason. Try your best to keep your mind occupied until next spring. If you have any hobbies besides baseball, lean into those […]
Good morning. In the opening pages of Moby Dick, Ishmael explains his decision to go to sea thusly: Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I […]

The baseball world is still buzzing over the dramatic end to the World Series, but we press on. The offseason starts almost the second the final out is recorded, with the league’s 30 teams now in five-day window during which they have a chance to negotiate exclusively with their own free agents and to tender […]
1903 The drama surrounding the fate of future Hall of Fame shortstop George Davis finally appeared at an end, as the New York Giants left Davis off of their reserve list, essentially ceding the fight over his services to the White Sox. The White Sox had convinced Davis to jump from his longtime New York […]
As expected, San Diego Padres starter Michael King exercised his option to opt-out of his deal with the team, making him a free agent. The Padres could, and should, extend a qualifying offer to King, which if accepted, would give him a one-year, $22.025 million contract for the 2026 season. If King declines the offer […]
Martin Wanless predicts… Score prediction: Sunderland 3 Everton 1 Sunderland’s first goalscorer: Dan Ballard This feels like a game “old Sunderland” would lose.

ESPN | David Schoenfield: With the World Series over, like clockwork, eyes turn to 2026. In a well-titled “way-too-early power rankings,” ESPN slots the Yanks in at #4, trailing the World Series champion Dodgers, and the Jays and Mariners, the two clubs who met in the ALCS. Schoenfield highlights that as the Yankees get pitchers […]
The San Diego Padres pushed out a 1:24 video clip on social media and included it in emails to fans titled, “¡Feliz Dia de los Muertos!” The clip ends with the SD logo and a Nike swoosh and the words “City Connect 2.0 Coming April 2026.” This appears to be a teaser of what fans […]
Hector Fort faced his parent club on Sunday as he came on as a second-half substitute for Elche against Barcelona at Montjuic. The defender left in the summer, after growing frustrated at a lack of game time under Hansi Flick, but was spotted chatting with the Barcelona boss after the final whistle. He was quizzed […]

The winners were announced live on ESPN this Sunday night, with a pair of Giants in Patrick Bailey and Logan Webb earning the National League awards for […]
This hasn’t happened in quite a while. Not since Ian Kinsler took home the 2016 AL Gold Glove award at the second base position has a Detroit Tigers player claimed the award. On Sunday, Dillon Dingler ended that unfortunate streak, winning his first Gold Glove award as the best defensive catcher in the American League. […]
