The FanGraphs MLB Free Agent Projections Are Out – Let’s Compare and Discuss

Although I most anticipate the annual MLB free agent projections and rankings from MLB Trade Rumors (which are not out yet), FanGraphs may have the most useful list of all .

So if you haven’t made your way over there yet to check the full list, go do that now. I’m just going to pull out a few key MLB free agent projections from FanGraphs and comp...

One Source Thinks Shōta Imanaga Will Still Be With the Cubs Next Year

Take this only as a for-what-it’s-worth from The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, because I don’t hear this as him “reporting” something. But Rosenthal believes that the Cubs declining Shōta Imanaga’s three-year, $57 million option, and then Shōta Imanaga declining his own two-year, $30 million option, were just precursors to the Qualifying Offer.

Cubs walkoff heroes: Lindy McDaniel, June 6, 1963

EDITOR’S NOTE: A version of this article originally ran on the 60th anniversary of this game, in 2023. I’m reposting it, lightly edited, as part of the walkoff wins series. 1963 was a watershed year for the Chicago Cubs. The widely-mocked College of Coaches was quietly ended. Bob Kennedy led the team for the entire […]

With the closure of the World Series and free agency officially open, we are now into the 2025-2026 MLB off-season. This will potentially be the last “normal” off-season before a looming lockout/labor stoppage, especially given the renewed discussion of a salary cap after the Dodgers’ repeat World Series title. The off-season isn’t my favorite time […]

2025 Atlanta Braves Prospect Reviews: Rayven Antonio

How was he acquired? The Braves signed Rayven Antonio for just $10k as an international free agent in the same 2023 class where they landed Luis Guanipa. Antonio was a bit of a lottery ticket with some upside, but also a lot of development needed. What were the 2025 expectations? There were none. After signing […]

Level-Setting the State of the Chicago Cubs Bullpen

Thanks to the needs in the rotation, the bigger names at play there, and the nature of Chicago Cubs bullpen construction (read: less sexy), I have neglected to lay out explicitly the bullpen situation for the Cubs entering this offseason. Now that Andrew Kittredge has been sent back to the Orioles , the following Cubs relievers who threw 20+ innings in 2025 are still under team control: Daniel Palencia Porter Hodge End of list.

As we sit here in early November with the last vestige of the 2025 Major League Baseball season still fresh in our minds, it’s somewhat hard to believe that in under 100 days, pitchers and catchers will report to Florida and Arizona for the beginning of 2026 spring training.
