Defense has never really been the calling card for the Cincinnati Reds, at least not of late. This is the same franchise with the same owner and a lot of the same members of the front office who doled out big money deals to bring in Nick Castellanos for a corner outfield spot and Mike […]

Inspiration. During the off-season, I wonder who will the Diamondbacks acquire? In contrast to free agent signings, trades have often provided the Diamondbacks with excess value. One example was trading for J.D. Martinez in 2017. Let’s catch up on him. J.D. Martinez Former Diamondback. In July of 2017, the Diamondbacks acquired him in a trade. […]

Today, as the baseball offseason begins, I’m beginning a series on great Cubs walkoff wins. Instead of focusing just on the win, though, these will focus on the individual responsible for the win, in this case Kiki Cuyler, who’s a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, though largely forgotten today. And so this isn’t […]

MLB Trade Candidates — Earlier today, I wrote 1,300+ words on why the Chicago Cubs should be spending more money in free agency than they have historically. And even if you already agree (of course you do), you should check that one out. There’s some updated data which could be useful for any non-believers. But the funny thing is that the post started out as a draft for this article. Basically, I wanted to explain why I felt the latest ranking of the top-40 trade candidates at MLB Trade R...

I really hate this part of this time of year. Organizational departures are inevitable over a large enough window of time, though, so you just have to accept that it’s going to happen periodically, and this time of year is most common.

How Acquired Tate Southisene was selected with the Braves first round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, 22nd overall.

Relative to their market size and generalized revenue opportunity, the Chicago Cubs are a financially conservative franchise. To be fair, they would tell you that “every” dollar that comes into the organization is turned back around and spent on the organization in one way or another. But that has always rung a little hollow to me. Given how much more other teams are spending on their payrolls, the Ricketts are either not counting all of their broader organizational revenue as “team” reve...
