An update on MLB no-hitter streaks through 2025

There’s a reason this article is headed by the photo of Shōta Imanaga, Nate Pearson, Porter Hodge and Miguel Amaya, the pitching/catching group that threw a combined no-hitter against the Pirates on Sept. 4, 2024. It’s because that’s the most recent no-hitter thrown in the major leagues. That’s right, not a single no-no was thrown […]

Slot Talk: The Liverpool Boss Wants You to Consider xG

Speaking to the press as Liverpool reconvenes following a string of losses, Arne Slot was measured in his verdict. Put most simply, the Reds are not creating enough and are conceding too many — though the boss did emphasize that the outcome looks a bit worse than the underlying numbers suggest: “I think what we […]

2026 Position profiles: Second Base

Unlike the other positions, second base probably has more options and more intrigue coming into the 2026 season. We will profile three players, but depending on what happens elsewhere on the roster it could be none of these guys manning second base a majority of the time. The lion share of our focus has been […]

Former 1st-Rounder Brennan Othmann On Trade Block for Rangers

Former New York Rangers first-round pick Brennan Othmann just hasn't been able to seize an opportunity to break through with the big club. After being selected with the 16th pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, the left-shot forward has only managed to get in 25 games total with the Blueshirts, 22 of them last season.

The Red Sox lineup could look radically different in 2026

If you asked me six months ago what I thought the Red Sox lineup would look like by season’s end, my answer would have been shockingly wrong. Going though each section of the diamond, here’s where my general thought process stood in April: If you stack all this up, I was probably thinking of a […]

We all look forward to the end of season press conference that is given by the people in charge. Dave Dombrowski and Rob Thomson usually give relatively honest answers when questioned by reporters, a refreshing change from other executives that dance around questions and give generic, boring answers.

In hindsight, what should the Royals have done last off-season?

Fresh off a playoff appearance last fall, the Royals went into the offseason with high hopes that they were a few moves away from having a team that could make a serious run. The offense had struggled in September following the injury to Vinnie Pasquantino, exposing a lack of depth in the lineup. Last year’s […]

Vote for the Mets’ minor league pitcher of the year

It was an even more successful year for Mets pitching development in 2025, with continued growth from 2024 breakouts and additional prospects making a name for themselves.
