After I got done posting Wednesday night’s open thread, I ended it on this note: The Braves were involved in a few rumors but nothing turned concrete. Maybe that’ll be the case in the near future?

The news that broke on Tuesday that Kyle Schwarber has agreed to return to Philadelphia for the next five years was met with the appropriate levels of exuberance, cautious optimism and casual pessimism. There is nothing wrong with having a little bit of all three. It’s natural to feel like this is going to be […]

Next up would be Rick Porcello. Porcello was a first-round draft pick in 2007 (the Jays got JP Arencibia that round). He had a nice 12-year career, going 150-125 with a 4.40 ERA in 355 games, 351 starts, with an 18.8 bWAR. He won one Cy Young and was third in Rookie of the Year […]

Back in April, Shawn Phillips’ pledge to Missouri filled a practical need for veteran depth at the post position. Yet over the next 200 days, the notions of what the Arizona State transfer might offer grew increasingly ambitious. It wasn’t just slotting the senior in the starting five, either. Over the MU’s first three games, […]

I recently read John Helyar’s 1994 baseball classic Lords of the Realm. Somehow, I had never heard of it until I spotted it on a baseball top-ten list. If you haven’t read it and want to avoid spoilers, stop here, go buy the book, and return after you’ve finished. That might sound dramatic, but after […]

At the trade deadline, the Mets were on the hunt, not for stars, but for complementary pieces to bolster and fortify some of their shakier areas. One such area was the bullpen, which had a strong closer and a few good relievers, but also a lot of middle relievers being churned and to plug holes […]

Since rules changes at the minor league level have a way, over the years, of percolating up to the big leagues, I think this bears a very close watch. According to Jayson Stark , Major League Baseball this week told all 30 organizations that it was considering implementing a new rule at the lowest levels of the minors that would eliminate the batter’s one timeout. This is not a done deal just yet, but historically speaking, when we see these kinds of reports in December, it feels like we ...

Rutgers women’s basketball faced another stern test down Route 1 on Tuesday night against Princeton, and while the Scarlet Knights showed flashes of life early, the Tigers’ depth and firepower proved too much in the end.

In hindsight, if one squints hard enough, the acquisition of Tanner Scott made sense. The 2024 Dodgers had a bullpen that overachieved, but was getting a bit long in the tooth with Blake Treinen as the de facto closer. When the Dodgers acquired Scott in January, he was the best relief arm on the market. […]
