Offseason Outlook: Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers fell short in their pursuit of a three-peat but the roster is still loaded with talent for another run in 2027. Guaranteed Contracts Shohei Ohtani, RHP/DH: $490MM through 2033 ($68MM deferred annually) Yoshinobu Yamamoto, RHP: $248MM through 2035 (Yamamoto has conditional opt-outs after 2029 and 2031) Mookie Betts, SS: $205MM through 2032 (including […]
Eugenio Suarez Could Be A Bargain
Slugger Eugenio Suarez returned to the Reds this year in what was supposed to be a cool comeback story. He’d spent the majority of his career in Cincinnati and was set to bring a veteran presence to a young lineup. Instead, he struck out every three at-bats and ended up on waivers in August. While […]
Finding Solutions For Tatsuya Imai
Astros right-hander Tatsuya Imai’s transition from NPB to MLB did not go well. He tumbled out of the rotation and ended the year as a seldom-used reliever. He made the postseason roster but didn’t pitch in the Wild Card round. The final line was a 4.93 ERA across 76 2/3 innings. Imai made 23 appearances, […]
Austin Wells’ Impact On The Yankees’ Offseason
The Yankees were connected to pretty much every vaguely available catcher last season. The rumblings stemmed from a need to improve an Aaron Judge-less lineup, along with the struggles of the in-house options. Austin Wells was the key figure in the catching discussions. His brutal first half led the club to entertain finding an upgrade. […]
Pablo Lopez On Track In Tommy John Recovery
Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez is working his way back from a February elbow procedure. He returned to playing catch in August and is targeting a return in Spring Training. His current outlook would make starting the year on the Opening Day roster a possibility. Lopez didn’t need full Tommy John surgery. Instead, he had an […]
Guardians Notes: Kwan, Velazquez, Rotation
The Guardians won the American League Central for the third straight year and reached the doorstep of the World Series in 2026, but their season ended with a six-game loss to the Rays in the ALCS. With their championship hopes dashed again, Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti, general manager Mike Chernoff and assistant […]
NL East Notes: Murphy, Mets, Marlins, Compton, Miller
Before Pat Murphy was promoted from bench coach to Brewers’ manager in November 2023, Murphy was known to be one of the finalists in the Mets’ 2019 managerial search that eventually resulted in the hiring of Carlos Beltran. Then-Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen (who is now Murphy’s agent) preferred Murphy as the hire and made […]
Todd Benzinger Passes Away
Former big leaguer Todd Benzinger passed away on Wednesday at age 63, according to a statement released by the Reds earlier this week. Three of Benzinger’s nine MLB seasons (from 1987-95) were spent in Cincinnati, with the switch-hitter playing a memorable role in the Reds’ World Series-winning squad in 1990. A fourth-round pick for the […]

The Opener: World Series Begins, Late-Game Drama, Game 2
It was on this day in 2012 that Pablo Sandoval kicked off the World Series by going 4-for-4 with three home runs in the Giants’ 8-3 victory over the Tigers in Game 1. Sandoval joined Albert Pujols, Reggie Jackson, and Babe Ruth (twice) as the only players to deliver a three-homer performance in a WS […]
Offseason Outlook: New York Yankees

Yankees Notes: Boone, Judge, Massey
The Yankees made the decision to bring manager Aaron Boone back for a tenth season. Boone, who’ll become the seventh skipper in franchise history to reach a decade with the club, is under contract via the two-year extension he signed in February 2025. Owner Hal Steinbrenner told reporters on Wednesday that there’d not yet been […]

Offseason Outlook: Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians again rode another strong September to their third straight AL Central title. They nabbed a first-round bye and overcame a 2-0 deficit to bounce the White Sox en route to the ALCS. Cleveland looked generally overmatched against the best team in the American League, though, and they again face questions about whether there’s […]

Two Pitchers Elect Free Agency
Veteran right-handers Connor Brogdon and Carlos Hernández elected free agency earlier this week, according to the MiLB.com transactions log. Both hurlers had been with the Guardians organization. The Guardians gave Brogdon a major league contract worth $900K last winter, but the low-cost flier didn’t pan out. The 31-year-old made 16 appearances out of the bullpen […]
