Just because we didn’t have a a Manchester United match to watch this weekend didn’t mean that the players weren’t busy. Four players under contract with United suited up in the 1-1 draw against Uruguay at Wembley. Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford, who is on loan at Barcelona, started for Thomas Tuchel’s England while Manuel […]
The Dodgers have a new Class-A affiliate in the California League this season. After 15 years linked with the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, 2026 is the inaugural season for the Ontario Tower Buzzers. Ontario’s first roster is headlined by shortstop Emil Morales, who was named to top-100 prospect lists this offseason by Baseball Prospectus, FanGraphs, ESPN, […]
The 2026 Major League Baseball regular season is officially underway, and the Yankees have begun their “run it back” season without a hitch after a three-game series sweep against the Giants. The first two games, including the first MLB game of 2026, were shutouts in favor of the visiting Bombers. Max Fried continued his dominance […]
Texas A&M is coming off a weekend road sweep of Missouri, and as a result, some players have earned some deserved recognition. 1B Gavin Grahovac was named the SEC Player of the Week, and OF Jorian Wilson was named SEC Freshman of the Week. Grahovac blasted four home runs in the series at Missouri, logging […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to stay above .500 here in the infancy of the season and they’ll likely need a strong start from Bryce Elder if they’re going to pick up their third win in four games so far. The Athletics are coming into this game licking their wounds a bit. The defending American […]
After covering 32 prospects last week, we’re back to do the top 8. Today, four pitchers in the upper minors with different ceilings and 2026 outlooks. 8. Fernando Perez, RHP, age 22 (DOB: 2/12/2004), grade: 40+, 2025: 10th Signed out of the Domincan Republic in 2022, Perez was a steady one-level-a-year guy until 2025, when […]
We did it, folks. We survived the long and cold baseball offseason, and now not only has San Francisco Giants baseball returned, but also San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball. Only one of the organization’s affiliates has started play, but that team — the AAA Sacramento River Cats — played a trio of games over […]
Opening Day is a time for hope. Anything can happen, even a team everyone predicted would finish in the cellar going on a run and sitting in first place most of the year! That’s what happened in 2003, when Runelevys Hernandez tossed a gem on Opening Day, beating the White Sox 3-0. That was the […]
We’re still in March. And the Cubs are once again facing a team that only comes in once… and this time, a team from the West Coast. And after today, the weather forecast looks dicey. So expect either a) postponements or b) games played in poor conditions or c) both. For more on the Angels, […]
Fresh off the heels of a big Opening Day weekend, the Mariners and KING 5 made a significant announcement this morning. Friend of the blog Joe Veyera had speculated on this two days ago after coming across a peculiar TV scheduling on April 10: And it all became official this morning: This is a pretty […]
After getting knocked around Saturday to the tune of a 10-2 loss, the 2026 Nats showed a level of resilience hardly ever shown by the 2025 club, taking command early thanks to a 3-run shot by Joey Wiemer to defeat the Cubs 6-3 and win their first opening series since 2018. The story of the […]
The Scarlet Knights hosted Michigan at Bainton Field in Piscataway over the weekend. Rutgers opened the series with a victory before losing the final two, falling to 15-12 overall an 4-5 in Big Ten play. Game One It was an exciting start to the series as Rutgers earned a come-from-behind victory to kick off the […]
A total of 20 Dodgers minor league games will be televised on SportsNet LA this season. That includes 12 games of the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets and eight games of the Double-A Tulsa Drillers, with all of these games coinciding with either a Dodgers off day or a major league game exclusively on national television. […]
What a difference a week makes. I planned to write this post, and a week ago it was a very different feel around the Ole Miss baseball program. The team has ascended back into the top 25 and had an SEC series notched on its belt. Then the last seven days played out about as […]
The Dodgers complete their homestand on Wednesday night with the finale of a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians at Dodger Stadium. After a pair of 7:10 p.m. start times, the Wednesday game has the odd start time of 5:20 p.m. The Guardians are flying home after Wednesday’s game to a Thursday off day, before […]
In a tough recruiting loss for the Kentucky Football team, in-state wide receiver Ja’Hyde Brown announced his commitment to the Louisville Cardinals on Monday, opting to stay home and play for Jeff Brohm and his staff. Brown, a 5-foot-10, 186-pound 3-star prospect in the class of 2027, had recently decommitted from Indiana, reopening his recruitment […]
It’s never good when your collection of high-priced hitters channels the performance of the worst Phillies team the city has seen in the 21st century. And yet, after their first three games of the 2026 season, the Phils are off to their worst offensive start since 2015. They enter their three-game series against the Washington […]
The Twins won the division in 2023, and appeared to be on their way to a playoff spot in 2024 before the bottom fell out and they finished with 82 wins. Things went even worse last year, and they traded away several key players, losing 92 games, their worst season since 2016. The Royals took […]
Jan Virgili’s name keeps on cropping up in the rumor mill amid speculation that Barcelona could try to bring him back in the summer if they don’t land Marcus Rashford permanently. Barcelona have first refusal on the winger and the talk is that he could be a good low-cost option for the summer transfer window. […]
The 1970s were a pivotal time for baseball labor relations and player negotiating power, that decade bringing about the end of the reserve clause and the advent of free agency. There are several trailblazing names associated with that movement, chief among them Curt Flood. But nearly as important in terms of setting a precedent to […]
After an unideal opening series against the Rangers, the Phillies will get their first look at a National League East opponent this season. And in what is hopefully good news, it’s the NL East opponent that most pundits expect will finish last in the division. Washington Nationals Record: 2-1 (Second place in National League East) […]
March was a very mixed month indeed for Reading – although, to be fair, I feel like I say that every month this season. The Royals earned a return of three wins, two losses and a draw, but that block of six league games included some of the best and worst of what we’ve seen […]

Sal Stewart hit 5 homers for the Cincinnati Reds once called upon for the stretch run of the 2025 season, and he backed it up with a pair of hits (and 4 RBI) in Cincinnati’s brief postseason play against the Los Angeles Dodgers. People saw him. People became aware of him. The brash rookie in […]
Welcome back to “Three up, three down,” a review of the previous week’s worth of Cubs action during the regular season. Of course, we don’t have an entire week to review, just three games. Nevertheless, there are some positives — and negatives — that came out of the season-opening series against the Washington Nationals. Here […]
