Cubs extend Nico Hoerner with six-year, $141 million deal
This news just broke, so here it is, without details: I think everyone here is thrilled with this news. Nico Hoerner has become the heart and soul of this Cubs team, a terrific player offensively and defensively and a great human being as well. Presuming this deal begins after this year — as PCA’s extension […]
Joe Musgrove has begun throwing again
San Diego Padres starter Joe Musgrove was in the bullpen during team introductions on Opening Day.

Colorado Rockies game no. 1 thread: Kyle Freeland vs. Sandy Alcantara
It has been a busy six months since the 2025 season ended at Coors Field with a loss to the Giants, capping off the most torturous season in franchise history. The Rockies finished 2025 on a six-game losing streak enroute to 119 total losses on the season — a number that still doesn’t quite feel real. A […]
Game #1, Athletics vs. Blue Jays Game Thread
The day we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. A’s Opening Day baseball is hours, minutes or just seconds away.

Gamethread I – Royals at Braves
The long winter has finally ended. Baseball is back. And while we got to laugh at the misfortunes of nearly half the teams in the league yesterday – seriously, Oneil Cruz seems very badly miscast as a centerfielder – it’s finally our turn to fret about our own team’s foibles. Let’s play ball! Today’s starter […]
Jeremy Peña to Make Season Debut on Friday
Astros All-Star shortstop Jeremy Peña will make his season debut on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels after missing Opening Day due to his recovery from a fractured right index finger.

2026 Charlotte Knights preview
Welcome back to the Charlotte Knights’ redemption season. Last season didn’t go as expected, as the Knights finished 65-85, the fourth-worst record in the International League East. Despite spending time early in the season with a winning record and flirting with .500 for a while, the club ultimately struggled because the bullpen frequently gave up […]
Arizona Cardinals Have A Crowded Backfield, But Sneaky Good Offense
Cardinals Offense has Underated Depth The Arizona Cardinals’ depth chart is full of question marks entering the offseason, but the talent is there. The Cardinals have not informed quarterback Jacoby Brissett that he will be their starting quarterback in 2026, but all signs point to him being the guy. Brissett is still under contract. He [...]

The Orioles are staying busy even on the off day between Opening Day and the second game of the season.

That’s a serious vote of confidence in a player who […]

How much has the bullpen cost the Arizona Diamondbacks?
This was provoked – triggered might be a better word – by paulnh’s feed post about the D-backs’ bullpen. The key conclusion was, “Since Mike Hazen has taken over, the Diamondbacks bullpen has been the second worst position in all of baseball, better only than the Pirates shortstop. That’s an even 300 positions (30 teams […]

No Reason Why: Blackhawks at Rangers
The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up a set of back-to-back games against the New York Rangers on Friday night. In the house of the worst home team in the NHL, the Hawks have a chance to make amends for last night’s turnover debacle . The last time these two met was a 3-0 shutout for Chicago at the United Center on Dec. 3. The New York Rangers were having an up-and-down start to the season. Since then, it’s been mostly down. The Rangers sit in 31st place with 65 points and were officially elimin...
Mariners place RHP Carlos Vargas on IL; recall RHP Cole Wilcox from Tacoma
The Mariners announced today that RHP Carlos Vargas is going on the 15-day IL, retroactive to March 24, with a right lat strain. The lat issue must have cropped up suddenly, because Vargas was on a relatively regular schedule this spring, appearing every 3-4 days. His last appearance was in the spring training finale against […]
Blake Butera is going to keep Washington Nationals fans on their toes this season
When Nationals fans saw the lineup card yesterday, many of them scratched their heads. It was an unconventional alignment, with Andres Chaparro hitting second and CJ Abrams hitting sixth.

Discussion: Who do you want to be the Detroit Lions’ opening opponent?
The Detroit Tigers opened their season on Thursday with a banger. The San Diego Padres never stood a chance, as the Tigers jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first inning thanks to a phenomenal debut from 21-year-old slugger Kevin McGonigle. Detroit would walk away with a decisive 8-2 win, kicking […]
Y’all like spending money on the rotation
Cristopher Sanchez was phenomenal during Thursday’s season opener against Texas. Seeing him put up six innings of shutout baseball is more and more becoming the normal expectation for a start of his, a mark of not only an exceptional player development success, but also the work put in by Sanchez to get to that point. […]
