2025 In a Discarded-on-the-Dugout-Floor Nutshell Whitlock returned to the bullpen this year and morphed into one of the most trustworthy and dependable relief pitchers the team has seen in years. As the designated setup man for Aroldis Chapman, he nearly always provided clean innings and allowed Chapman, in his very dominant season, to shut games […]

Earlier this week, our own Ethan Witte wrote about possible destinations for J.T. Realmuto in free agency. It’s possible that Realmuto could receive a three-year deal despite turning 35 before Opening Day 2026. Realmuto is not the same player he once was, and he is clearly in the beginning of his decline. He posted his […]

The 3-5-1 Dallas Cowboys won’t be back on the field until November 17th, yet another Monday Night Football game at the Las Vegas Raiders, but after this Monday’s loss at home to the Arizona Cardinals, the sense of positive anticipation for this game, or any of the much tougher ones that follow it, is woefully […]

As the Orioles set out to reshape their bullpen this offseason, one veteran lefty seems to have a spot sewn up. The O’s just need to make sure they don’t move him out of his comfort zone. Nearly 10 years after he was drafted, Keegan Akin is the longest tenured pitcher in the Orioles organization, […]

Okay, this is admittedly a silly, and petty, question. I still can’t get over the part where the Braves fired Matt Tuiasosopo from the third-base coach gig and then Alex Anthopoulos had to have a public speaking appearance where he had to talk about how it was so amazing that Fredi Gonzalez was so available […]

It is clear that the New York Rangers aren't going to get a team-friendly deal from Artemi Panarin, despite him reportedly wanting to stay and already signing a huge ticket last time around. The Rangers aren't in a great spot, sitting outside of the playoff picture and just 6-6-2 on the season. Panarin, along with the rest of the Rangers, has really struggled offensively. The veteran has two goals and seven points in 14 games despite being a point-per-game player or better in eight consecutive...

Ricky Romero turns 41 today. Ricky was the Jays’ first-round pick in the first round of the 2005 draft (6th overall), out of California State University, Fullerton). As we all know, Troy Tulowitzki was the next pick by the Rockies. No one mentions that the Mariners used the third pick on Jeff Clement. Ricky didn’t […]

A major lesson from the 2025 World Series is one that the Rockies need to seriously learn: starting pitching is everything. When or — as it more and more feels like — if the Rockies finally hire a general manager/president of baseball operations, it will be a great chance to do something big. After all […]

If a player on a losing team gets traded at the deadline, but is then reacquired three months later, were they ever really traded at all? Well, yeah, but getting them back makes the whole deal look like an absolute steal. It seemed as though the Andrew Kittredge era with the Orioles had ended back […]

With the offseason officially under way, it is now the time of the year to speculate, and to consider how and by what means the Yankees might improve their roster headed into 2026. While there was plenty of good to take from the ‘25 campaign, there is just as much that can be done to […]

I don’t want to talk about the offseason. Not today anyway. For whatever reason, when I sat down to think of what to write, I wanted to make a fun post. I actually wanted to list my five favorite baseball movies, but I don’t have five favorite baseball movies. I have three very clear favorites. […]

We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Ryan Brasier, Willi Castro, Aaron Civale, Brad Keller. Drew Pomeranz, Taylor Rogers, Carlos Santana, Mike Soroka, Caleb Thielbar, and Kyle Tucker have declared Free Agency. I’d bring three of them back. Your mileage may vary. The answer from my end is Keller, Pomeranz, Thielbar… with Thielbar […]
