Reid Detmers Is Finally Looking Like a Finished Product
The Los Angeles Angels entered this summer’s trade deadline as a definite seller with possibly the most players on the trade block. The organization traded away seven players from their active roster while receiving nine players in return, making them one of the more active teams at the deadline. Starting pitchers Jose Soriano and Reid […] The post Reid Detmers Is Finally Looking Like a Finished Product appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Los Angeles Angels’ Year of Change Continues
The Los Angeles Angels have had a year filled with change. First, they changed their ways from handing out large contracts to overpriced, past-their-prime veterans. Then, a few months ago, general manager Perry Minasian was fired after another poor start to the season. Today marked the biggest, and perhaps most significant, change yet, as owner […] The post The Los Angeles Angels’ Year of Change Continues appeared first on Just Baseball .

After Chris Sale, Who Starts for the Braves in October?
There has been plenty of discourse surrounding the Atlanta Braves‘ lack of significant transactions, both during the offseason and leading up to the trade deadline. Yet, as we enter the final month of the regular season, the Braves are in as good a position as almost anyone. Atlanta enters September with an 82-56 record, the […] The post After Chris Sale, Who Starts for the Braves in October? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Mariners to Promote Top Prospect Lazaro Montes for MLB Debut
Originally brought to the Seattle Mariners as an international free agent signing back in 2022, Lazaro Montes has done absolutely nothing but mash since the moment his professional career began.

Where Does Drew Thorpe Fit in the White Sox Rotation?
The White Sox spent much of August trying to cover innings at the back of their rotation, but September could bring a different problem.

The Jac Caglianone Breakout Has Arrived
“Jactani.” That was the incredibly intimidating nickname bestowed upon Jac Caglianone by University of Florida fans and college baseball fans alike during his breakout sophomore season with the Gators.

Jackson Holliday Is Proving Why Prospects Are Never Guarantees
Phrases and terms such as “generational” and “can’t-miss” flood player evaluation more and more with each top prospect. Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday is another member of that long list. Perhaps some of it is his bloodline, as being the son of an All-Star like Matt Holliday comes with a set of expectations. We […] The post Jackson Holliday Is Proving Why Prospects Are Never Guarantees appeared first on Just Baseball .
Can the Padres Rotation Be a Strength in September?
While sporting the worst offense in baseball, the San Diego Padres were simultaneously rolling out one of the worst rotations. The rotation was a combination of Michael King, Walker Buehler, Randy Vásquez, Lucas Giolito, Germán Márquez, Griffin Canning, and JP Sears. And to make matters worse, Nick Pivetta went on the 60-day injured list on […] The post Can the Padres Rotation Be a Strength in September? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Payton Tolle’s 2026 Leap Has Been Essential for Red Sox
For some, it’s the high fastball velocity and elite extension. For others, it’s the five-pitch mix. For everyone, it’s the Magnum P.I. mustache, niche references, and interview gems. Payton Tolle is one-of-a-kind on and off the diamond. And he’s been one of the key factors in Boston’s absurd two-month turnaround. The Boston rotation was a […] The post Payton Tolle’s 2026 Leap Has Been Essential for Red Sox appeared first on Just Baseball .
Alejandro Kirk Is Keeping the Blue Jays in the Race
The Toronto Blue Jays entered the 2026 season as reigning AL Champions thanks to their run to Game 7 of the World Series last year. While most of this season hasn’t gone their way and they’ve performed well under expectations, their recent stretch of games has seen them surge back into the playoff picture. Among […] The post Alejandro Kirk Is Keeping the Blue Jays in the Race appeared first on Just Baseball .
Could Yordan Alvarez Win the Triple Crown Along With His MVP?
By now, I think we can all agree that Yordan Alvarez is a special player. Since his debut in 2019, Alvarez has posted a wRC+ of 160 or better three times, with 2026 tracking to be his fourth. A career .300/.397/.579 slash line and 166 wRC+ puts you in a category that few players ever […] The post Could Yordan Alvarez Win the Triple Crown Along With His MVP? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Marlins Notebook: Huge Ninth-Inning Rally, Junk, Edwards Takeaways
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Miami Marlins were on the verge of losing the first three games of a four-game set with the Washington Nationals on Sunday. They trailed 2-0 entering the top of the ninth inning, but a huge six-run rally, which may be better described as a complete meltdown by the Nats’ bullpen, gave […] The post Marlins Notebook: Huge Ninth-Inning Rally, Junk, Edwards Takeaways appeared first on Just Baseball .
Kyle Leahy Is Just What the Doctor Ordered for the Cardinals
One of baseball’s biggest mysteries is the starting pitcher. Finding innings in a game that’s become so synonymous with injury is hard. So much so that teams have started to introduce young hurlers to the big leagues in a bullpen role – and it’s working. The Brewers turned Freddy Peralta and Corbin Burnes into monsters […] The post Kyle Leahy Is Just What the Doctor Ordered for the Cardinals appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Guardians Are Surging at the Right Time
The Cleveland Guardians are one of the more well-oiled machines in baseball.

Is Willson Contreras the Best First Baseman in the AL?
It’s hard to overstate how important Willson Contreras has been to the Boston Red Sox. Through all the ups and downs Boston has had, Contreras has been one of the few consistent spots on the team, all while having a career year. His leadership and fire are present every game. He flips his bat not […] The post Is Willson Contreras the Best First Baseman in the AL? appeared first on Just Baseball .

Eugenio Suárez’s Disaster Season Summed Up by Clearing Waivers
When the Cincinnati Reds reunited Eugenio Suárez, it was a cause for celebration. Suárez became a fan favorite quickly after joining the Reds in 2015 and gave fans some of their favorite memories during dark times, which led to a team-friendly contract extension.
