Through his first 15 starts, Michael McGreevy has been solid for the St. Louis Cardinals. He sports a 3.35 ERA, ranking him 15th in the National League.

However, he’s far from […] The post The D-Backs Need Ketel Marte to Start Carrying His Weight appeared first on Just Baseball .
When the Giants drafted Bryce Eldridge 16th overall in the 2023 MLB Draft, they knew they selected a high-risk, high-reward prospect with an offensive ceiling as high as any player in the class.
