Things have not always been pretty for the Yankees of late, but they will go into the All-Star break on a good note. Capping it off on Sunday, the Yankees had a trio of comeback wins over the weekend during their series in DC against the Nationals. There’s still plenty of things they need to […]
The back half of the MLB Draft is where we leave the bonus pool minimums behind. Some players might sign for pretty decent amounts, but it’s the wild west and most will not demand much compensation to fill the Rays org needs. Out of their 21 selections overall, the Rays took 17 pitchers, and that […]

That game was nearly less bad than the last few games I’ve recapped. Nearly. The Mariners lost 6-1 to the Rays on Saturday. But they had a shot right from the get go. Griffin Jax could not find the zone in the top of the first. Randy Arozarena drew a walk. Dom Canzone chopped a […]

Headlined by second overall pick Grady Emerson, the class is already shaping up to be another strong haul for one of baseball’s best player development organizations. It all starts with Emerson, whose […]

Offense was somewhat surprisingly at a premium last night in DC after the two-hour rain delay, as the Yankees couldn’t do more than hit register two solo shots against the Nationals’ Carson Palmquist/Zack Littell combo across the first seven innings. They weren’t dominating by any stretch; it just felt like the Yanks weren’t landing that […]
