Over at The Athletic today , Jim Bowden ranks the top 50 MLB free agents, together with contract comps, predictions, and potential fits. I will offer my usual caveat: these types of articles can be interesting and informative in a broad sense – giving you a look at the landscape, overviews on players, very rough ideas on contract expectations, etc. You don’t want to take too much away from the specific Cubs mentions, for example, even if it’s interesting to see. To that end, I will say th...

Several years back, Buster Olney, the former Yankees beat writer for the New York Times and a professor emeritus of baseball journalism, wrote a book called The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty.

If you’re in Missouri this Sunday, the weather matches the mood.

Even then, the Tigers may have lost starting QB Beau Pribula for the season after a […]

The team always knew that Garrett Stubbs would be with the Phillies in some capacity. His minor league option that he had available, couple with the one that Rafael Marchan did not, meant that he was going to the minor leagues for the season outside of a possible injury.

The New York Rangers are likely going to trade Brennan Othmann this year. He is a 22-year-old former first-round pick by the Rangers with just 26 games of NHL experience. He also didn't make the team out of training camp and has only been alright in the AHL. But the Rangers just called him up and slotted him into the third line after one assist in four games for the Hartford Wolf Pack. That move seems like much more of a showcase rather than a deserving call-up, as interest has risen for the R...

So the Craig Albernaz dreams died pretty quickly for the Washington Nationals.
