We’re trying a new series at Royals Review, a daily mid-day question of the day to hear about your opinions on a fun or pressing question affecting the Royals or baseball in general. Chime in and drop your answers below! Have the Royals done enough this offseason to upgrade the roster and get back to […]
It’s prospects week here at Bleed Cubbie Blue as today I’m starting the countdown of my top 25 Cubs prospects for 2026. Each day we’re going to look at five new prospects until we get down to the top five on Friday. The Cubs farm system is definitely down at the moment. It’s not the […]
This is something of a follow-up to yesterday’s question, where we asked you to tell us what you would consider a successful season for the 2026 Diamondbacks. There were a lot of thoughtful answers – and, it is clear, no real consensus as to what that means. For some it’s “The post-season or bust,” while […]
Welcome all to another year of Braves baseball, and with it comes one of our favorite things to do – our Top 30 rankings. After another strong draft that saw the Braves go heavy on position players, we are starting to see these players rise up the ranks and fill out what has been a […]
The past few seasons of Yankee baseball have produced a familiar pattern when it comes to closing games. The first option the team tabs to handle the ninth inning invariably falters, forcing Aaron Boone to thumb through his bullpen to find a suitable replacement, or for Brian Cashman to acquire one from elsewhere. In 2022, […]
For personal reasons, I have stopped being the regular every-day person on Cubs coverage on the weekends. Among other things, our youngest kiddo’s extra needs have continued to grow over the years, and it had become increasingly difficult to be as present in both places as I felt I needed to be. So, for the weekend, the family wins out. That said, it’s not as if I stop being a Cubs fan on the weekends, or stop obsessively following the news and rumors when I sneak peeks at my phone. I’ll ...
The story need not be repeated. You are already familiar with the tale of Alec Bohm’s irritated mutterings, and the camera that caught them, the ensuing apology and appreciative ovation that followed. This article is not going to be about that. It’s not going to be about the psychology of being an athlete in the […]
In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, Jeremy “Hokius” Greco is joined by Royals Review Managing Editor Max Rieper to go over a hodgepodge of baseball news ahead of Spring Training. They touch on a few trade ideas for the Royals both before the season starts and perhaps at the deadline. They also remind […]
A native of Markham, Ontario, Canada, Jonah Tong grew up in a family of athletes. His skill at baseball quickly became apparent, but given that the family lived in Ontario, there was a distinct lack of opportunities for him to learn, grow, and highlight his skills to professional scouts and evaluators. A student at Bill […]
Mike and Dan look back at a packed week of trades, wins, a season sweep and one terrible loss that makes an already daunting upcoming week for the Islanders even more scary. For five days last week, Islanders fans were feeling good. Three wins, two over the Rangers in a humiliating season sweep complete with […]
Errors and strikeouts. If you’re a Red Sox fan you’re probably sick of seeing both of those things. The 2025 Red Sox led all of baseball in errors last year, after committing the second-most errors in 2024 and the fourth-most in 2023. The strikeout numbers don’t look much better, as Red Sox hitters finished with […]
With the Mariners’ announcement that Logan Evans will miss the entire 2026 season with UCL surgery, the Marinersphere is debating who will be the new sixth starter. Kade Anderson’s not ready, and Mariners fans are all too familiar with the flaws of Emerson Hancock and Dane Dunning. So a lot of eyes have turned to […]
Spring training is around the corner, and while teams can still make some moves, the bulk of the offseason is complete. Some Royals fans may be pleased with the improvement the Royals made with the roster, while others may conclude the team failed to do enough to upgrade the outfield. Either way, it is probably […]
It’s a great time to be a Brewers fan. The foremost reason is that the Brewers just had their best regular season ever, finishing 97-65 and winning the NL Central. While it’s not exactly realistic to project improvement, that 2025 team could very well be the least talented Brewers team of the next few years. […]
There were some sketchy moments over the past two games, but the Pittsburgh Penguins kept their winning streak going this past week with a 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night and a 6-5 win over the New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon. The week got off to a rocky start with a […]
It’s Monday! The work week has arrived and with it comes the news from this past weekend. Surely Jacob Wilson’s 7 year/ $70 million contract extension was the biggest story to dominate the news cycle. All anyone could talk about was the A’s locking up their prized young short stop, right? Wait, what’s that? Something […]
As we enter a new month, I want to make a point of posing questions to the audience. The first question I wanted to ask you guys is what has been your favorite move Paul Toboni has made this offseason? In his first winter as President of Baseball Operations, Toboni has made a few moves, […]
The Dodgers were enamored with Tommy Edman long before they traded for him during the 2024 season, then extended him last winter. His versatility on the field has proved quite valuable even as he’s struggled with a right ankle injury during the last two seasons. Even if Edman is limited to mostly one position in […]
Jared Jones maybe isn’t the greatest first basemen in LSU Baseball history, but he had one of the better careers in program history. Bear Jones appeared in 189 games and started 181 times the past three seasons. Over that span he earned Freshman All-American honors and helped LSU win the 2023 national championship; two years […]
In Mariners news… Around the league…
For 99.99999% of major league baseball players, the fact that they made the major leagues is the most historically notable fact about their life. For at least a brief period of time, they were among the best X-number of baseball players in the world. That’s a pretty incredible thing. However, in some very rare cases, […]
19. Carson Palmquist (201 points, 16 ballots) Palmquist has a low, funky arm slot and has utility as both a starter and reliever — he worked in both roles in 2025 for the Rockies long enough that he’s only about a week short of exceeding rookie eligibility, so this could also be his last PuRPs […]
There’s something about night games at Mizzou Arena that just feel more special. I don’t know how to describe it; you just have to see it for yourself. The entertainment value is cranked up an infinite amount. It’s magical. To see this many people in the arena — a season-high 5,164 — so invested in […]
As much as we would like to believe otherwise sometimes, baseball teams have no crystal balls. Sometimes things happen out of the prescribed order, gambles don’t pay off, or players who you just brought in may almost instantly become redundant. The latter might be what happened to Carl Edwards Jr. Not that when Edwards was […]
If you are a person who prays, former Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians needs your help. He is set to have open heart surgery on Friday, February 6, in Philadelphia, just two days before the Super Bowl. He made the announcement on the “Today” show with Rob Gronkowski, who played for Arians with the […]
