We also saw Yankees shortstop George Lombard Jr. and Guardians shortstop Angel Genao get called up. As discussed last week, I expect several more prospects to reach the majors […]
Royals slugger Jac Caglianone put together the signature performance of his young career in a 6-3 win over the Cubs on Saturday. In going 4-for-4 with two home runs, a pair of doubles and four RBI, the 23-year-old helped spoil newly acquired right-hander Clay Holmes‘ Cubs debut. Along with reaching the 20-HR mark for the […]

Chase Shugart blew another game for the Phillies on Saturday and it brought up a topic that I think the Phillies deserve some scorn over. I know every team needs to have someone to soak up some innings here and there. Shugart has mostly been that guy this year with cameos by Seth Johnson, Kyle […]

The Yankees have had some decent success in replacing franchise cornerstones over the years. Back in the day, they had a run at catcher that, with some small gaps, went from Bill Dickey to Yogi Berra to Elston Howard to Thurman Munson.
