Should Kyle Schwarber bat in front of or behind Bryce Harper?
The Phillies have checked the biggest item off of their offseason to-do list, as they have ensured that Kyle Schwarber will be back in Philadelphia for 2026 and beyond. There still is a lot of work to do, namely answering the J.T. Realmuto question and remaking the outfield, but retaining Schwarber or finding a replacement […]

Is “liftoff” finally here?
Something feels different this offseason. How to put it? The Baltimore Orioles are … relevant? They’re a player in the AL East, a spending threat, a real free agent destination, for perhaps the first time in our lifetime. The organization was already making waves at the Winter Meetings when reports emerged this week that the […]
OTM Open Thread 12/11: Pete Alonso goes to the Orioles
And just like that, the two biggest free agent power bats are off the board. The Red Sox didn’t get Pete Alonso, and the Mets didn’t get Pete Alonso. Instead, he went further down I-95 to Baltimore for five years and $155 million. Given the Red Sox need for more pop in the the lineup, […]

Pep Guardiola makes admission about Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team
Pep Guardiola has said something special about the Liverpool team he faced when Jurgen Klopp was in charge. Liverpool’s rivalry with Manchester City is less historic than either clubs’ unfriendly relationship with Manchester United. However, it was often the Premier League title decider during the years Jurgen Klopp spent as the Reds’ manager at Anfield. […] The post Pep Guardiola makes admission about Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team appeared first on Paisley Gates .
Mets Morning News: A polar bear becomes an Oriole
Meet the Mets After seven years and a franchise home run record, Pete Alonso is a Met no more. Whether or not Alonso’s departure is a good thing for the team, the slugger was a good Met during his time here. Alonso is just the latest casualty in David Stearns’s tear-down, and right now the […]
Thursday Morning Links
Morning, all! Given the Rangers’ many needs and limited budget it’s a foregone conclusion that they will be digging through the factory seconds in the Rule 5 Draft. One of the shirts with the wrong number of buttons the Rangers snatched up is Carter Baumler, who has managed to wrack up all of 88.2 innings […]
Dodgers notes: Teoscar Hernández, Kyle Tucker, Tarik Skubal
With the winter meetings now behind us, the Dodgers came out of Orlando with a new closer in Edwin Díaz, though that move hasn’t yet been made official. The bullpen suddenly looks so much stronger with him in it. In pieces from Katie Woo and Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic and Jack Harris at the […]

Kansas City Royals news: The Winter Meeting conclude
Despite a quiet Winter Meetings, the Royals remain on the hunt for outfield help: “So much of it comes down to, whoever you’re trying to acquire: What’s the competition for it [and] are you willing to beat the competition? [With] free agents, do you feel like it’s a fair asking pricing right now and does […]
Thursday BP: How do you feel about the Hall of Fame announcement?
Good morning, baseball fans! For the first time in my decade-long tenure at McCovey Chronicles, the San Francisco Giants have a new player heading to the Hall of Fame. Earlier this week, it was announced that Jeff Kent would be the lone inductee from this year’s Contemporary Baseball Era committee. Players on this ballot had […]
The 2025 Rule 5 Roundup
When the Colorado Rockies’ revamped front office under new president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta entered this week’s Winter Meetings in Orlando, Florida with multiple open spots on the 40-man roster, it was clear the rebuilding team intended to make selections in this year’s Rule 5 draft. The final major part of the Winter Meetings, […]
Cardinals select Matt Pushard in Rule 5 draft
Once a potentially impactful draft that nobody paid attention to, the Rule 5 draft is now an inconsequential draft that most diehard baseball fans pay too much attention to. Present company included. I kid, sort of. But it was once a draft that gave the Pittsburgh Pirates Roberto Clemente, the Chicago Cubs Hack Wilson, and […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Hoyer, Hawkins, Counsell
So the vaunted Winter Meetings turned out to have been a massive time-suck, completely useless from my point of view. It wouldn’t be a surprise for me at this point if the Cubs signed nobody at all. It’s going to take a hell of a lot to mollify me or even to start to allay […]

Orioles news: Pete Alonso signing reactions
Hello, friends. There are now 105 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2026. Today will probably not be as exciting as yesterday was, unless Mike Elias is really, truly determined to knock off another major piece of business before this week comes to a close. As I’m writing this, it’s been several hours now since […]
Phillies News: J.T. Realmuto, Kyle Schwarber, Pete Alonso
It’s been nice to have a flurry of activity across baseball the last few days. The offseason is more fun when there are actual moves to be discussed, not just arguing over various rumors that may or may not be completely irrelevant. But alas, today is the last day of the Winter Meetings, and tomorrow […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 12/11/25
There weren’t many fireworks at this year’s winter meetings, but the last day in Orlando did deliver a pretty surprising move, the Orioles lavishing Pete Alonso with a five-year, $155-million contract. It’s another big addition for an AL East team, and another loss for the Mets, who have seen three fan favorites in Alonso, Edwin […]
