The situation involving Mizzou’s All-American running back Ahmad Hardy remains unclear. He’ll likely play this coming season, but the return timeline is wide.

Aaron Nola stepped off the mound on Monday having delivered another quality start, his third in his last six games. He allowed three runs over six innings and departed with the Phillies down 3-0. But Nola had kept the Phillies stagnant offense in the game long enough for them to come alive against the Nationals […]
After a scorching hot month of July, Mariner catching prospect Luke Stevenson mashed his way to the top of the High-A Northwest League offensive charts and earned himself the title for the league’s player of the month.

The Los Angeles Angels pulled the plug on outfielder and designated hitter Jorge Soler Tuesday after a year and a half.

He hasn’t been the same player he blossomed into in the late […] The post The Red Sox Should Pursue Jorge Soler appeared first on Just Baseball .
The San Francisco Giants were one of the most active teams at the 2026 MLB trade deadline. The team was big-time sellers who traded away a number of veterans, especially players headed for free agency at season’s end. Rarely are sellers viewed at as deadline winners, but that is exactly what the Giants deserve to […] The post Giants’ biggest 2026 MLB trade deadline mistake appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Veteran reliever Dennis Santana has inked a minor league deal with the Diamondbacks, per his MLB.com transaction tracker. The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Pirates in late July. Santana chose free agency instead of heading to the minors and has found a new organization. After securing a career-high 16 saves in 2025, Santana […]
It's been a bad season for the 37-year-old pitcher Miles Mikolas. He's got an ERA of 5.67, and he's made a habit of starts where a bunch of guys just wallop what he offers. Only two pitchers in MLB have allowed more dingers than he's surrendered, and the signs point to Mikolas giving it another go in Japan once his one-year contract expires. The silver lining, however, is that he plays for the Washington Nationals, and nothing that the Nationals do really matters anymore in the grand scheme...
Ian Happ’s struggles against left-handed pitchers are nothing new, but recent developments do not bode well for his hopes of reaching a new deal with the Cubs when his current contract expires at the end of the season.

As we all know, it has not exactly been a banner year for the Nats bullpen. They have spent most of the season blowing games for fun. However, there is one reliever who has really impressed me this season. Orlando Ribalta has had a breakout year for the Nats, and looks like a guy who […]
The White Sox are 27-27 since the beginning of June. That's mostly viewed as a victory, since the White Sox lost 102 games last season. But even within the prism of assessing them as a 2026 contender, that snapshot includes going from one game back in the AL Central to three games ahead, a lot of playing without Munetaka Murakami and a lot of playing through very difficult stretches of schedule; such as this current one against the Yankees, Rays, Red Sox and Guardians. The post Colson Mont...
The Twins may want to add another starter if Joe Ryan lands on the IL, but they should still avoid reuniting with this right-hander.
Two days later, and the Braves haven’t felt the effects of a relatively quiet trade deadline. If anything, the current rotation is pitching with something to prove, allowing just one run over the last 13 innings on the way to back-to-back wins. However, let’s be very clear about something: the Braves acquiring more arms at […]
Another trade deadline has come and gone, and the contending Philadelphia Phillies were once again in need of plenty of help. This year, the Phillies were far more aggressive in addressing their offensive shortcomings. Dave Dombrowski pulled the trigger and went out to get the top bat on the market. The move certainly bolstered the […] The post Will the Trade-Off Be Worth the Addition of Luis Arraez? appeared first on Just Baseball .

We love to romanticize baseball, don’t we? The truth is, today’s baseball isn’t the “game of base” once played in 1846 in a sprawling park in Hoboken, NJ. From its onset, the sport oozed myth, just as the park that derived its name from a fabled afterlife paradise reserved for heroes, demigods, and the exceptionally … The post MLB, Owners May Burn Down Elysian Fields to Force ‘Great Egalitarian Reset’ appeared first on .
