Gage Jump Has Wasted No Time Proving His Worth
Gage Jump wasted no time making it to the big leagues. After being drafted in the second round of the 2024 MLB draft, Jump was recalled earlier in the season by the Athletics with just one full professional season under his belt.

Why Defensive Versatility Could Be Max Anderson’s Ticket to the Big Leagues
TOLEDO, Ohio — Keeping up on Nebraska baseball comes easily for Joba Chamberlain. While his time as a member of the Cornhuskers baseball team may have been limited, he has remained an ardent supporter of the program since being drafted by the New York Yankees in 2006. So, when the Detroit Tigers selected Nebraska infielder Max Anderson as their […] The post Why Defensive Versatility Could Be Max Anderson’s Ticket to the Big Leagues appeared first on Just Baseball .
Should the Detroit Tigers Trade Casey Mize?
After a disastrous May, the Detroit Tigers rebounded in the start of June and finally started to look like the team many projected them to be. Health improved, hits started to fall in, hell, even Colt Keith had a moment of flashing power. Climbing back into the race would take a remarkable run but we […] The post Should the Detroit Tigers Trade Casey Mize? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Week of June 29
The calendar will officially flip to July this week, which is always the month I feel comfortable drawing conclusions on specific players or teams.

The Padres Would Be Foolish Not to Lock Up Adrián Morejón
Adrián Morejón’s rise to one of the best relievers in baseball has been anything but conventional. The San Diego Padres originally envisioned him as a starting pitcher, but in 16 games (eight starts) from 2019 to 2021, he would post a 5.91 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP in 32 innings. In between the lack of […] The post The Padres Would Be Foolish Not to Lock Up Adrián Morejón appeared first on Just Baseball .
Dillon Dingler Is the Best Catcher Nobody Is Talking About
For much of the first half, the conversation surrounding the Detroit Tigers hasn’t been about the players producing. It’s been about the players who might not be around much longer. As Detroit has stumbled to a 35-48 record and fourth place in the American League Central, attention has shifted toward the trade deadline and the […] The post Dillon Dingler Is the Best Catcher Nobody Is Talking About appeared first on Just Baseball .
Not Every MLB Veteran Is Ending Their Career On a High Note
An interesting component of every MLB season is the performance of its legends, and how some of those veterans perform at the tail end of their careers. Some thrive, but for others, age catches up with them.

Bryan Reynolds is Having a Career Year for the Pirates
Throughout the course of his time wearing the black and gold, Bryan Reynolds’ presence in the lineup has been one of quiet consistency and steady production. Up until 2025, Reynolds had never posted a wRC+ lower than 110 across a full season, earning multiple All-Star nods along the way. However, this unexpectedly changed in 2025 […] The post Bryan Reynolds is Having a Career Year for the Pirates appeared first on Just Baseball .
Lonnie White Jr. Is Getting Back On Track in 2026
Back during the 2021 MLB Draft, all eyes were on the Pittsburgh Pirates leading up to draft day. Possessing the number one overall pick in the draft, the Pirates had a very tough decision to make.

Maybe the Varsho-Moreno Trade Doesn’t Have Just One Winner After All
In recent years, MLB has seen many trades that have been very one-sided and exclusively beneficial to only one of the teams involved. The Toronto Blue Jays have found themselves on the right side of many trades over the last few seasons, and there are very few that their front office has missed on. However, […] The post Maybe the Varsho-Moreno Trade Doesn’t Have Just One Winner After All appeared first on Just Baseball .

Ranking the 10 Greatest MLB Debuts of All-Time

Is Eric Hartman the Next Great Braves Prospect?
Since the graduations of players such as Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozzie Albies, Dansby Swanson, and Austin Riley, the Atlanta Braves’ farm system has consistently ranked near the bottom of the league.

Juan Soto’s Outstanding Year Is Being Overshadowed
After Wednesday night’s doubleheader sweep by the Chicago Cubs dropped the New York Mets to a season-worst 12 games under .500, play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen summed it up best: “This team is in the depths of despair.” The Mets have been nothing short of awful despite entering the season with MLB’s second-highest payroll.

Closer Volatility on Full Display This Season in MLB
A tale as old as time, the volatility of a Major League Baseball reliever. Often given just three outs to get, sometimes even less, it’s easy for a few bad outings to spoil an otherwise dominant campaign. Because of this, that separates the greats from the rest of the pack even further. Even the really […] The post Closer Volatility on Full Display This Season in MLB appeared first on Just Baseball .
How Can the Cardinals Get Joshua Báez’s Bat in the Lineup?
The St. Louis Cardinals have been the definition of a surprise contender this season.

This spring, Cardinal fans familiarized themselves with the name Joshua Báez. In ten games, […] The post How Can the Cardinals Get Joshua Báez’s Bat in the Lineup? appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Royals Have More Questions Than Answers Now and Into the Future
