Gonna try to ACCOMPLISH A LOT today. Just feels like one of those Saturdays. Best of luck to you if you decide to do the same … (this is a subliminal message for Jed) …
We mostly focus on free agent starting pitching around here these days because (1) there are still several impactful starters available and they WILL sign at some point, (2) the Tatsuya Imai posting deadline is just a week away , and (3) there was a little flurry of starting pitcher trades and the prices looked kinda nut...

We still have almost two months until pitchers and catchers report in mid-February, and plenty more signings and trades are still coming around the league. On the other hand, just about every notable free agent reliever is now accounted for with Tuesday’s signing of RHP Pete Fairbanks by the Miami Marlins. There are still plenty […]

The last of the clear late-inning free agent relievers is now off the board, with Pete Fairbanks reportedly signing with the Miami Marlins. This became something of a vogue rumor in recent days, especially after the Ronny Henriquez surgery , and now it’s happening.
Pete Fairbanks stays in Florida and reunites with baseball chief Peter Bendix, who use to be in the Rays’ front office back when Fairbanks was at his best:

There is perhaps no pitcher who has seen his name surface in trade rumors more over the last five years than Sandy Alcantara. Practically from the day he inked his five-year, $56 million extension, speculation swirled as to when the miserly Marlins ownership group would look to get out from under the rest of the […]

Former Cub and Ray Christopher Morel is now a Marlin, sources reveal. It sucks about Devin Williams, who would surely have been a fine Cub. Also revealed: several MLB players have signed with teams that aren’t the Dodgers. Dennis Franz still wants to know “What is a Met?” Insiders predict that the Dodgers plan to […]

Christopher Morel is staying in Florida, just switching sides of the peninsula. The Miami Marlins are inking Morel to a one-year deal, and perhaps the most interesting part is where they plan to play him.
Versatile by necessity more than by skill, Morel, who’d moved to the outfield from the left side of the infield, is now moving over to the right side of the infield:
Source confirms: Free agent Christopher Morel in agreement with Marlins on one-year contract, pending physical. Expec...

The Phillies have checked the biggest item off of their offseason to-do list, as they have ensured that Kyle Schwarber will be back in Philadelphia for 2026 and beyond. There still is a lot of work to do, namely answering the J.T. Realmuto question and remaking the outfield, but retaining Schwarber or finding a replacement […]

It’s an unfortunate and familiar story. Giancarlo Stanton misses a considerable amount of time with injury during the regular season. The frequency with which this has happened since the Yankees acquired him from the Marlins is distressing not only for the team, but for him. From the beginning of the 2019 season onward, Giancarlo has […]

You all know the story of Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara. He had several good seasons in Miami, including winning the Cy Young Award in 2022 at age 26. It looked like he was headed for a good-to-great career, until Tommy John surgery cost him the entire 2024 season. Returning in 2025, he had a typical […]

Even after Shota Imanaga accepted his one-year, $22M qualifying offer last week, the Chicago Cubs are expected to pursue another front-half-of-the-rotation starting pitcher this offseason.
Whether that pitcher is signed out of free agency ( Dylan Cease , Tatsuya Imai , Michael King , Zac Gallen , etc.) or acquired via trade ( Joe Ryan , Kris Bubic , Sandy Alcantara , Edward Cabrera , MacKenzie Gore , etc.) remains to be seen. But the need, willingness to act, and supply of quality options...

As we all know, there are some matters of concern about the extent to which the Chicago Cubs spend commensurate with revenue, market size, and brand identity. I’m not about to throw stones without at least some measure of humility.
But there’s a nine-figure chasm between the Cubs’ alleged parsimony and that deployed by clubs like the Pittsburgh Pirates and Miami Marlins. Two clubs that have been the subject of grievance(s?) by the MLB Players Association for how little they actually spend...

Earlier this week, the Miami Marlins announced their new General Manager, and it was a name very familiar to Phillies fans. Quick refresher: After the Ruben Amaro reign ended, the Phillies were determined to pivot hard in the other direction and become the most analytically based organization in baseball.
