The Wisconsin Badgers earned their third win of the season with an 86-55 victory over the Ball State Cardinals. Just like the Northern Illinois game, the Badgers got out to a quick start. Wisconsin jumped out to a big 27-6 start, and it appeared Ball State was going to be run out of the Kohl […]

Morning, all! Bruce Bochy is grateful for his time in Texas but is happy to be returning to a role in San Francisco. Most of the sports talk this morning is about the departure of Nico Harrison and the mess his successor will be inheriting. Kevin Sherrington pens a breakup postmortem and notes that there […]

The Royals enter this offseason looking to upgrade an outfield that produced the fewest runs in baseball last year. One intriguing trade target who could help change that is Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, whose name has surfaced frequently in trade rumors this winter. Jarren Duran is a 29-year-old from California who debuted in 2021. […]

In an article yesterday by Jeff Passan of ESPN, he mentions MacKenzie Gore as a possible trade target for the Milwaukee Brewers, who, after winning a league-best 97 games last year and getting bounced in the NLCS, will be looking to make some additions to keep themselves in the hunt entering 2026. The Brewers avoid […]

This includes snaps from some players not listed in this article such as Ricky White III (6) and Connor O’Toole (3). All data used in this […]

The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]

So if the Cubs aren’t going to re-sign Kyle Tucker — and I do not believe they will — then how about a reunion with Cody Bellinger? Bellinger had a very good 2025 with the Yankees, batting .272/.334/.480 with 29 home runs in 152 games. That was worth 5.1 bWAR. Yes, it was skewed a […]

The story of the 2025 Orioles is as much about who didn’t play because they were hurt as much as it is about how well players played when healthy. Grayson Rodriguez represents this idea taken to its most extreme. He is a pitcher who the Orioles and fans were counting on to at least be […]

No news to Chicago Bears fans, but Caleb Williams took a lot of sacks last year, getting sacked on 10.79% of his dropbacks. However, did you know he also led the league in sacks avoided as a rookie? This season, he’s taking far fewer sacks, with his sack percentage way down to 4.56 (fifth lowest in the […]

Finally saw ‘Weapons,’ and I thought it was an incredibly enjoyable watch. All the more enjoyable, I suspect, because I was lucky enough to have avoided any spoilers. Went in to it knowing almost nothing, and that made the payoffs so much better. Kyle Hendricks is officially retired, which we knew was coming based on the reports, but the finality of which – without even a whiff of pomp – is still a little jarring. Then again, is it really a surprise that Kyle Hendricks is keeping it low...

The Colts have a fatal flaw. Daniel Jones is turning the ball over too much and is turning back into the pumpkin we knew he was in New York. What happened to the offensive line? They are giving up way too much pressure and too many sacks. This defense struggles to get off the field […]

The Orioles are in a position where they must improve the top of their starting rotation. If they aren’t willing to trade prospects or young players to do it, spending money is the only way. That’s a bad place to be. High-end free agent starting pitchers are expensive and risky bets. They might get hurt. […]

(This is not a Big Board question, because the contours are too vague to penalize people for being “off.”) By the by, it appears that Alex Anthopoulos spoke to reporters yesterday. While I haven’t seen a broad summary of his remarks, we have teeny-tiny snippets like: If you take it at face value, this suggests […]

We’re not even halfway through November, and if you think speculation about Tarik Skubal is going to die down any time soon, you are in for a long offseason. But tempered with the Skubal hot stove is more immediate news, like the winners of the Rookie of the Year accolades, as well as the AL […]

If you’re a Toronto sports fan, you’ve had a busy fall. You watched the Blue Jays stumble down the stretch in September, only to find their footing just in time to win the AL East on the regular season’s final day. Then you watched them handle the Yankees in the ALDS before coming back to beat the Mariners in a thrilling Game 7 classic in the ALCS. That led to one of the greatest World Series ever played, with the underdog Jays giving the fat cat Dodgers all they could handle before losing a h...

The votes are in, and our guy didn’t get the trophy. The Baseball Writers Association of America named Rob Thomson a finalist for National League Manager of the Year, but gave the award to Pat Murphy of the Brewers. Thomson led the Phillies to a 96-66 record and division title in a tough NL East. […]

Yesterday, the most reliable baseball reporter in the business dropped a broad but noteworthy article. In it, using his knowledge of the industry, Jeff Passan ran a compelling exercise seeking to align a major offseason transaction to 21 of MLB’s top clubs, with the major caveat being that he wouldn’t use the same player twice.

The stove is sizzling and the temperature is rising. The offseason is officially here. The Dodgers now own the exclusive mantra as the two-time defending champions of baseball, and they won their most recent championship with a glaring issue that the Dodgers tried to mitigate in the postseason. The Dodgers’ 2025 bullpen was undoubtedly the […]
