2026 hasn't gone as Chris Paddack had envisioned. And now he's made a big move. The former highly-touted pitching prospect signed a $4 million deal to join the Miami Marlins this offseason. After just six starts and seven appearances with a 7.63 ERA with the Fish, he was designated for assignment. But that was only the start of his tough year. After that, he was picked up by the Cincinnati Reds, where, in three starts in six appearances, he posted a 6.04 ERA. Another DFA. Finally, ...

Please bow your heads for a moment of silence to commemorate the 14-minute period where the White Sox officially had more bats than spots. After Jacob Gonzalez was optioned to Charlotte to clear a spot on the 26-man roster for Munetaka Murakami’s return, the White Sox traded him to Pittsburgh along with Brandon Eisert for…

One of the names we've been hearing on the rumor mill for well over a year now is Sandy Alcantara, the Miami Marlins former Cy Young winner. His return from Tommy John surgery in 2025 was a bumpy road, but he's gotten better results this season with a 4.00 ERA, though his strikeouts are down. But there are no more questions about his elbow, as he leads the majors in starts (19) and innings pitched (123.2). He's been linked to nearly every team in need of pitching the past couple of years...
Bats were hot on Thursday, as hitters around the league combined for 39 homers and a .185 isolated power. Tigers rookie Eduardo Valencia went deep in his very first big league at-bat, while Mike Yastrzemski hit a ninth-inning grand slam for the Braves. Matt Olson also homered for Atlanta on the same day that he […]
At one point Thursday, the Mariners theoretically had a chance to come away with a game from their three-game set against the Marlins. As it turns out, that chance was short-lived. The Mariners were swept away, losing the third and final contest in Miami 8-4. The game came unraveled in the bottom of the fourth. […]
Marlins 8, Mariners 4 Even the dumbest hits can turn into runs: Josh Naylor, +0.08 WPA Unfortunately, walks can also turn into runs: Bryce Miller, -0.31 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
The Mariners are on the brink of returning to .500 for the eleventh time this season as they aim to avoid a sweep by the Marlins in the second-to-last series before the All-Star break. They are coming off being shut out Wednesday in an uninspiring performance. They’ll call upon perhaps their most reliable starter of […]
The Marlins announced that they have placed outfielder Owen Caissie on the ten-day injured list with a right calf strain. Left-hander John King hits the 15-day IL with a left lateral ankle sprain. They also optioned righty Zach Brzykcy to Triple-A Jacksonville. To take those three rosters spots, righty Janson Junk has been reinstated from […]
I think about the 2023 Texas Rangers a lot. (Wait, isn’t this daily question post supposed to be about the Marlins? Yes, bear with me.) Not because they won the World Series. (Did they win the World Series? I have no idea.) But because of this: So, it was kind of a weird double-whammy. They […]
I don’t want to write this recap. The Mariners lost 2-0 to the Marlins on Wednesday. It was a very boring game. George Kirby pitched well, in the way that George Kirby often pitches well, but not in the way that he pitched so well as to be newsworthy. The Mariners lineup hit poorly, in […]
Marlins 2, Mariners 0 Josh Naylor, +0.20 WPACole Young, -0.34 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
The Mariners are about to play baseball again. They’ll be playing the Marlins tonight after losing to them last night in extras. They’ll face Tyler Phillips, who Jake Mailhot previewed for the site yesterday. George Kirby will pitch for the Mariners and looks to build off an eight-inning performance last time out. And yeah, that’s […]
Something I like to harp on here is that news articles that rage against governments still paying off stadiums after they’ve been torn down are missing the point: How to pay for a stadium, whether with cash now or bonds that can be refinanced into the far future, is just a financing choice, like deciding […]
Good morning everyone! Happy Wednesday. Last night, the Mariners lost a heartbreaker to the Marlins 6-5 after blowing several key run-scoring opportunities. Cal Raleigh seems to be heating up, with a pair of doubles in last night’s contest. Do you think we’re about to see a resurgence for Big Dumper? In Mariners news… Around the […]
There was a moment where the Yankees’ hopes of turning their deficit around in one series burned a little brighter on Tuesday, as Ben Rice launched a three-run home run to give them a one-run lead in the third inning. Unfortunately, an inning later those hopes were dashed when the Rays scored four runs and […]
