After 15 Major League seasons, Martin Maldonado is retiring from baseball. The 39-year-old catcher made the official announcement today via his Instagram page, thanking his family, the fans, teammates, coaches, and many others who helped him live his dream. “Baseball, I was just four years old when I fell in love with you,” Maldonado said…
The Blue Jays’ 6-2 loss to the Mariners in Game 5 of the ALCS puts the Jays down 3-2 in the series, and in must-win mode heading into Game 6 in Toronto on Sunday. With such a critical game coming up, the Jays are also facing an injury question to one of their best hitters,…
Eight games into the regular season, the Dodgers were riding at their highest, winning eight in a row with seemingly no end in sight. Then, reality hit; the Dodgers are not a perfect team despite the talent they have on paper. Blowup losses at home by double digits, sweeps suffered at the hands of much […]

Good morning, LSB. Not seeing any Rangers news out there this morning, but there’s plenty on Shohei Ohtani playing perhaps the greatest game in baseball history last night as the Dodgers clinched another World Series berth against the Brewers. Aaaand the Mariners are a win away from a pennant of their very own. So there’s […]
Welcome back to our 2025 Red Sox Postmortem. After talking about the things we loved and hated, grading Craig Breslow and Alex Cora, reevaluating the Rafael Devers trade, handing out individual awards, and assessing whether the season was a success, today we turn our attention of the offseason. What should be Craig Breslow’s top offseason priority? Acquiring a #2 […]
After an injury riddled 18 months of rehab, backfield games, and physical therapy, Jonny Farmelo, one of the top Mariner farm hands and a consensus top one hundred prospect in the game, is putting on a clinic in the Arizona Fall League and proving he’s worthy of his lofty rankings despite a somewhat limited track […]
Anne Rogers writes about Royals prospects that could contribute in 2026, such as Luinder Avila. He did not allow a hit on any of the 64 four-seam fastballs he threw and just four hits on his sinker, with both of those pitches averaging 95.8 mph. But the standout pitch was his curveball, which completely missed […]

A number of teams (and their fanbases) have already turned their attention towards the offseason. Identifying free agent targets is a big part of that prep work, so it’s worth taking a look at the players who’ll be available at each position. We’re moving to center field, a position that has been weak in free…
Historic Ohtani performance puts Dodgers back in World Series. The post MLB Playoffs News & Moments: League Championship Series 10/18/2025 appeared first on Pitcher List .
Good morning Birdland, The baseball was electric on Friday night! In Game 5 of the ALCS, the Mariners got back to winning in emphatic fashion. Eugenio Suárez’s eighth-inning grand slam off of friend Seranthony Domínguez had T-Mobile Park rocking. That series heads back to Toronto with the Mariners up 3-2. Shohei Ohtani (almost) single-handedly beat […]
The Dodgers trounced their way to the pennant last night, led by Shohei Ohtani showing why he is the greatest player to ever play this game. The Brewers and their fun loving brand of baseball didn’t have an answer for anything the Dodgers threw at them, looking feeble, overmatched and not allowed on the same […]
The Dodgers are going back to the World Series to defend their crown, sweeping the Brewers in the most one-sided series of this postseason and indeed the last few. About 1,000 miles north, the Mariners snagged a win at home to put them one victory away from their first World Series appearance in franchise history. […]
I started a project with a plan for three articles, one each for the biggest surprise in the category of defense, offense and pitching. I did pitchers and now I’m moving on to hitters. Who was the most surprising (in a good way) hitter this year? We have a couple of entries people could advocate […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers finished off the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night at Dodger Stadium, completing the second four-game sweep in franchise history. That earned the Dodgers a return trip to the World Series, the first defending champion since 2009 to make it back to the Fall Classic. The Dodgers don’t yet know who […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Good morning, baseball fans! The playoffs continue this weekend, although as of the time this is being written it’s not yet clear whether there will be two games played this weekend or just the one. If the Los Angeles Dodgers won last night, then the NLCS is over, to the detriment of us all. However, […]

The various options for Shōta Imanaga and Kyle Tucker are surely being explored, as are the possibilities of extending a few […]

Meet the Mets Will the Mets attempt a trade for Tarik Skubal this offseason? Is Brett Baty a long-term piece for the Mets after his 2025 season? Can ex-Met Michael Conforto enjoy experiencing the Dodgers’ postseason success despite putting up a down season? (And is every news item going to be written as a question?) […]
Good morning. The greatest baseball player of all-time did the greatest thing that’s ever been done on a baseball field last night. Talk about what you want and be good to one another.
I think what will bother me for this entire offseason is that the Phillies had the Shohei Ohtani locked up. He was doing absolutely nothing at the plate. On the mound, different story, but when he put a bat in his hands, the Phillies were ready. It was quite impressive to watch them completely bottle […]
