Kansas City Royals Rumors, Gold Gloves & Ohtani Awe

In this episode of the Royals Rundown podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco deliver a wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation that bridges football fever with a deep love for baseball. As the Kansas City Chiefs dominate the NFL, the guys aren’t quite ready to let go of baseball season—especially with the Royals entering a […]

2025 Phillies player review: J.T. Realmuto

It’s that time of year again, where we review all of the players that donned the red pinstripes during the 2025 season. For a team as veteran laden as the Phillies are, there were a lot more random players that played a part in the team’s NL East division title than I initially thought. One […]

Bo Porter Hoping For Another Managerial Opportunity

Angels coach Bo Porter is hoping to get another chance to manager in the majors, as he told The Athletic’s Britt Ghiroli recently. More specifically, Ghiroli writes that Porter is “very interested” in the current managerial vacancy in Anaheim. Porter, 53, was previously the manager of the Astros from 2013-14. That stint in Houston did not…

On Elly De La Cruz and switch-hitting

If anyone stepped into the Major League Baseball scene for the first time and hit just .184/.231/.263 with 49 strikeouts in 122 PA, you’d have some initial concerns. Maybe they’re just getting their feet wet. Maybe they’re still young enough to figure it out. It’s rough out there at first, after all. If they backed […]

ALCS Game 7: Who are you rooting for?

There has been some discussion in the comments for the past week-plus about who folks were rooting for in the ALCS. In advance of tonight’s Game 7, I figured I would do a poll and ask…who are you pulling for to advance to the World Series? Cast your vote below…

2025 Red Sox in Review: Trevor Story was saved by money

2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell One of the most valuable players on the 2025 Red Sox was, for two months, one of the worst players in baseball. But at least he was playing baseball at all. The Good Trevor Story was saved by money. Amidst a Red Sox tenure that had been defined almost entirely […]

The Cubs should have more promotional giveaway items

I’ve written on this topic previously, but now I’ve got some new information that I wanted to pass along to you. As you know if you attend Cubs games when there are promotional gate giveaways, the team limits those to the first 10,000 (or “up to” that number, as they generally say) who come to […]

The Sun may finally be setting on Kris Bryant

Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]

Elephant Rumblings: ALCS Game 7 Tonight

Happy Monday everyone! We got an epic evening ahead of us, baseball fans. An epic Game 7. Win or go home. A ticket to the Fall Classic on the line. The stakes don’t get much higher than this. The Toronto Blue Jays lost the first two games of the series (at home!) but rallied back […]

Remembering Some 2025 Guys, Part I: Single Game Legends

The Mets used 66 players in 2025, with 46 of those appearing on a pitching mound at some point in their 162 games. While some 2025 performances are not soon to be forgotten (Juan Soto’s 43 home runs, Nolan McLean’s phenomenal second half), there are a fair number of players who, if you haven’t already […]

The Opener: ALCS, Giants, Rockies

As the playoffs continue, here are three things we’ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today: 1. ALCS Game 7 After a resounding win over the Mariners in Game 6 of the ALCS last night, the Blue Jays have managed to force a Game 7 to determine who will…

Expectations for Bullpen Moves, ALCS Gets a Game Seven, and Other Cubs Bullets

Maybe it wasn’t a work of art, but the Chicago Bears found a way to win (by multiple scores) a total trap game in nasty conditions. That’s four straight wins for the first time in seven years. A random combination thought about the Cubs’ bullpen group that I want to keep in mind for the offseason. For the last several years running, two things have been true every single year. First, the Cubs find reclamation relievers who wind up being big contributors. Second, younger/newer guys who w...

Who takes Game 7?

Today’s question of the day is pretty simple: who wins tonight? The Mariners had a chance to move on to the World Series last night, but they started swinging at everything under God’s blue sky. Trey Yesavage was very good in his start, but the Mariners had him on the ropes a few times by […]

Monday Morning Texas Rangers Update

Good morning. Evan Grant writes that in an unsuccessful season, one of the successes was that people could actually watch the team for the first time in years. Jeff Wilson looks at potential catcher trade candidates should the Rangers move on from Jonah Heim this winter. At MLB Trade Rumors, Mark Polishuk checks out the […]

Will Vest rode a new angle to new heights in 2025

No Detroit Tiger broke out on the national stage this postseason as much as their closer, Will Vest. Tarik Skubal is a known star after his dominant, Cy Young-winning 2024 campaign, Kerry Carpenter’s ascent thanks in part to Aaron Judge’s hitting coach has been well covered, and everyone knew Javy Baez already. Meanwhile, the “pitching […]
