I did this exercise last offseason and wound up being off the mark but in the general vicinity. The specifics are where I really stumbled, but the Giants did wind up doing (broadly) what I’d hoped they’d do. My plan: Their actions: I wanted the team to show that they were serious about playing at […]

With the losses of Robert Garcia, Kyle Finnegan, and, most recently, Jose A. Ferrer, in the past year, the Nationals’ bullpen is in much worse shape than it started the year, though the farm is better off for it. Pending any free agent additions or other trade subtractions, the Nats will enter 2026 with an […]

For the second straight preseason, Dan Szymborski’s ZiPS projections – now available at Fangraphs – see the Kansas City Royals as a club with strong pitching that can compete for the division. Szymborski projects the Royals to “finish with somewhere between 82-86 wins or so, depending on the assumptions”, and this is before the Royals […]

Thirteen years have passed since Larry Biittner’s turn on the mound for the Cubs. Position player pitching was still pretty rare in Major League Baseball. And then came the spring of 1990. You have to remember the context here: The Cubs had come off a division title year in 1989 in which they won 93 […]

After sorting through and writing about the Fangraphs prospect update in recent weeks, I got to wondering about some players who weren’t on this list of prospects and who might find themselves on it after the next update. Who in the system is not on a prospect list NOW but could well be by this […]

Christopher Morel is staying in Florida, just switching sides of the peninsula. The Miami Marlins are inking Morel to a one-year deal, and perhaps the most interesting part is where they plan to play him. Versatile by necessity more than by skill, Morel, who’d moved to the outfield from the left side of the infield, is now moving over to the right side of the infield: Source confirms: Free agent Christopher Morel in agreement with Marlins on one-year contract, pending physical. Expec...

The team was in need of an arm once Jose Alvarado went down to injury. So they picked up Tim Mayza. That was something, wasn’t it? 2025 stats (w/ Phillies) 8 G, 7 1/3 IP, 20.6 K%, 11.8 BB%, 1.23 HR/9, 4.91 ERA (5.04 FIP), 0.0 fWAR What went right Mayza was perfectly cromulent while […]

Happy Friday one and all. The Arizona Cardinals play a nearly impossible game on Sunday, against the best defense in the NFL, with an offense that doesn’t score very much, and can’t win games. And now they are doing so without two of their best players in Marvin Harrison Jr. and Paris Johnson Jr. who […]

Álex Rodríguez is on the Hall of Fame ballot for the fifth time. Last year, he was on 37.1% of the ballots (his high mark in the first four times). He’s been in the mid-30s each time. He doesn’t seem to be gaining much traction. By the numbers, he is easily a Hall of Famer. […]

1925 The first championship ever secured on the grounds of Comiskey Park came with a 13-0 Chicago Cardinals win over the Hammond Pros. It was sweet revenge for the Cardinals, who had given Hammond its only win of 1925 with a season-opening upset in Indiana, 10-6. But this “title” was not without controversy. Six days […]

Because most of it came in the heat of a playoff race, when the focus is necessarily less about individual player achievement or development, and more about where the Cubs are in the standings, I think I probably didn’t praise Moises Ballesteros enough down the stretch. The sample was small in 2025 in the big leagues for Ballesteros, but that’s because the playing time was sporadic. And that, in turn, is part of what makes his ultimate success so impressive. It’s hard enough to be a 21-ye...

Not a surprise, after the Jays came within a couple of inches of winning the World Series, but the Jays (or I guess Rogers signed) signed Mark Shapiro for five more years, which would have him in the job for 15 years. Mark has overseen improvements to Rogers Centre and the Jays’ Spring Training facilities. […]

The two biggest power bats in free agency are off the board. So where do Craig Breslow and the Red Sox go next given that they entered the offseson intent on landing a bat? If this report is to believed, they have opened up trade talks with the Cardinals for Willson “Don’t Forget Second L” […]

This week, the Kansas City Royals signed outfielder Lane Thomas to a one-year, $5.25 million contract. Thomas joins the Royals after spending the last year and a half with the Cleveland Guardians. The Royals are hoping the right-handed hitting outfielder who hit 28 home runs in a season as recently as 2023, can bounce back […]

With 2025 marking his first season as largely a full-timestarter, Grant Holmes emerged as one of the top arms in the Atlanta Braves’ pitching rotation. His season debut against the Padres during opening week hinted at something special, but in truth, the signs were there long before. Unfortunately an elevated amount of homers allowed, and […]
