My wife is treating me like I had a serious illness I’m recovering from and a relapse is imminent. Honestly, it’s not that bad. I saw My Boys play an amazing season. They had an epic, life affirming run through The Godless Yankees, then crushed The WaterBoarMen beneath their sandalled feet. Man, did we hear […]

For many Rays fans, one hope for the new ownership group was that the indignities of the Stuart Sternberg era would be a thing of the past. That the team would no decline pay player contracts at or near market rates, particularly for fan favorites. Well, if that was you, today’s 40-man roster deadline is […]

A final plaudit to add to his resume before free agency, Kyle Tucker wins his second career Silver Slugger Award. On the season, Tucker hit .266/.377/.464/139 wRC+ (third highest in the NL among qualified outfielders), with 22 homers, 91 runs scored, 73 RBI, and 25 stolen bases. The Cubs acquired Kyle Tucker for his bat, and, outside of a particularly notable dip, he produced when he was healthy enough to play. It’s a bummer things didn’t work out better overall for the Cubs, but it’s har...
