I don’t think there will be any more news about the Kazuma Okamoto deal today, as much as I’d like to hear from the Jays about how they intend to use him. It makes it clear we aren’t going after Alex Bergman (or if we did, I have no idea where we would play everyone. […]

Overview 2025 review It’s weird to think that, after the 2021 season, Suarez’s career felt like it might be over. He had concluded a dismal campaign in Cincinnati, hitting below the Uecker Line and being comfortably below replacement level overall (-0.5 bWAR). He was dealt to Seattle the following March, in a trade our siblings […]
Christmas may have come and gone, but there will be one present left for fans this season when they turn on their televisions tomorrow to watch the season finale—it’s Phil Mafah time. Ahead of the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 18 matchup with the New York Giants, the Cowboys decided to send their top two running backs, […]

After the brief tester that was the two Big Ten games in December, Purdue is back to Big Ten play with the team traveling to Madison to take on the Badgers. Last night’s Big Ten games showed that perhaps Nebraska is for real and that Michigan might be a powerhouse. If Purdue wants to bring […]
The winter league teams have been set for the Caribbean World Series. Due to the issues taking place in Venezuela, the final series has been moved from Caracas to Guadalajara, Mexico. The playoffs involving the Dominican, Puerto Rican and Mexican leagues have recently begun. Panama has been invited to send a team as a guest […]
The 2025 NFL season is about to close another chapter with the final weekend of games in the regular season this weekend. The Arizona Cardinals travel to Los Angeles to play the Rams. The following day is referred to as “Black Monday.” This is the day that NFL owners fire their head coaches and general […]
Welcome to the first offseason Crawfish Boil of 2026! Just like a real crawfish boil – everything is in here! There’s a lot to unpack today: MLB.com’s David Adler has more on Okamoto: https://www.mlb.com/news/kazuma-okamoto-blue-jays-deal It’s a 4-year, $60M deal with no opt outs per Jon Heyman. That $15M AAV doesn’t preclude the Jays from continuing […]

There’s almost always a cyclical nature to the MLB offseason. It typically begins with a flurry, especially now that Qualifying Offer decisions (and their $20+ million price tags) force the hands of teams within a week of the end of the World Series. Teams often try to get a jump on the offseason and put […]
The New York Giants (3-13) are 3.5-point underdogs in a home NFC East matchup against the Dallas Cowboys (7-8-1) on Sunday, January 4, 2026 at MetLife Stadium. The over/under is set at 49.5.

There has been a lot of conversation around what the Nationals could do at the first base position in 2026. Most have assumed that the Nats would bring in some sort of veteran option at the position. Toboni hinted at that idea during the Winter Meetings. However, as we get deeper into the offseason, we […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates will have to pivot to new options at third base. According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, Japanese third baseman Kuzuma Okamoto is signing with the Toronto Blue Jays. Okamoto’s posting window was set to close at 5 p.m. on Sunday. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported earlier on Saturday that the Pirates were […]
I expected Okamoto to get more money. $15 million a year seems pretty team-friendly. We’ll put up a poll a little later, but figured he’d be getting $20 million per, but Ben Clemens thought he’d get 4 years at $18 million, so we got the under. Clemens said: Okamoto isn’t the same kind of shooting […]
San Diego Padres free agent target Kazuma Okamoto agreed to a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays, Saturday. There were several reports that linked the Padres to the Japanese star, but in the end, he decided to play in Toronto where the 2025 American League Champions appear to be loading up to make a return […]
Happy Saturday all! We’re heading behind the dish to take a look back at our backstops this past season, starting with the veteran Austin Wynns. A vet of seven big league seasons, Wynns came aboard midway through the season and acted as the backup to starter Shea Langeliers from there on. He’s set to repeat […]
I wasn’t expecting this, since Kazuma Okamoto seems to profile best at first base. But he will be able to play third (maybe not at Ernie Clement’s level on defense) for at least the next couple of years. In Japan he was a three true outcome hitter. Lots of homers and strikeouts and a good […]
As is often the case in this category, there was no obvious stand-out candidate here. As ish95 noted, this was probably the first time we have had two off-field personnel nominated in this category. While they ended up coming first and second, the votes were all over the place, and none of the six candidates […]
It’s pretty rare that a team can win a baseball game without any help from their opponents. Sometimes, that help might be as small as just a couple slightly off pitches that lead to runs. Sometimes, it’s just getting a little bit under a pitch and hitting a long fly out instead of a home […]
Like Tatsuya Imai on Thursday, Kazuma Okamoto is signing his big league deal one day before his posting window officially expires. According to Jeff Passan , he’s headed to Toronto, where the Blue Jays continue their impressive and expensive offseason. BREAKING: Japanese third baseman Kazuma Okamoto and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a free agent contract, sources tell ESPN. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) January 3, 2026 The terms of the deal for Kazuma Okamoto...
The San Diego Padres are looking to revamp their corner infield depth, as Manny Machado is a fixture at third base, but the first base position is wide open. Last year’s starter, Luis Arraez, remains a free agent, and Ryan O’Hearn signed a two-year deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates. They added Jose Miranda on a […]
Before the Yankees brought in the right-hander with a bit of an odd wrist movement at the top of his pitching motion in 1995, he was making his rounds with other organizations. David Cone’s career began with the Kansas City Royals, pitching in 11 games before a trade to the Yankees’ crosstown rival, the New […]
Let me be the 47th person to wish you a Happy New Year and welcome you to 2026. Like many of you, I spent some time reflecting on 2025 in the waning days of the year, and part of that reflection came to baseball. I found myself dissatisfied with how the 2025 season played out […]
