It’s been 97 days since the Yankees were eliminated in Game 4 of the ALDS by the eventual pennant-winning Toronto Blue Jays. While the Yankees have done some minor housekeeping in the offseason, they have yet to add an external player who isn’t a waiver claim, on a minor-league deal, or dealing with Rule 5 […]
On January 9th, ESPN’s Charlie Creme put out a new bracketology for women’s college basketball, one that we will not judge harshly because it is after the first of the year.

The San Diego Padres acquired right-handed pitcher Bryan Hoeing, along with Tanner Scott, in a trade with the Miami Marlins on July 30, 2024 as part of the trade deadline acquisitions that would help the Padres push toward the postseason. Hoeing, 29, was drafted by Miami in 2019 and made his MLB debut in the […]
A silver lining for the San Diego Padres has been the rapid rise of Jackson Merrill through their minor league system. He went from a promising prospect to a top-of-the-order run-producer in 2024. The rookie centerfielder became a legitimate force in the Padres’ lineup. Merrill batted .292 with 24 HR and 90 RBI in 156 […]
It looks like we are going close to the finish line on the Kyle Tucker chase. The Mets have made a “short-term’ offer to Tucker. Apparently, they have offered $50 million a season for three-years. And the Blue Jays have made a longer term offer to him, but there are no details on their offer. […]
While the Astros and Yainer Diaz find themselves in an arbitration standoff, the 27-year old remains firmly entrenched as the club’s primary catcher in 2026, but as the start of spring training nears, the question of who will back him up remains unanswered. Victor Caratini is the incumbent, but appears to be headed elsewhere in […]
RJ Anderson was supposed to join us for this week’s episode; however, he came down with the flu. So, we pivoted to a different voice, one that’s growing in the Cardinals content sphere. His name is Tyler Gettinger, and he uses the handle @RedbirdFarmHands across multiple media platforms. Tyler is a co-host of his show […]
Atlético Madrid are through to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, thanks to a 1-0 win away to Deportivo La Coruña. A sublime Antoine Griezmann free-kick was the only difference on the scoresheet, but Atleti were comfortably in charge against the team from the second division. Into the Calderón rates the Atlético players for […]
It’s no particular secret that the Cardinals have been trying to get out from under the Nolan Arenado contract for some time. The origins of this date back all the way to February 2019, when he signed an eight-year, $260 million deal while still a member of the Rockies. At the time, it was celebrated […]

I think, by now, most Cubs fans are sober to the fact that whichever version of Alex Bregman we get over the life of his contract (or even just in 2026) is NOT going to be the version the league saw in 2018 and 2019, when he was a legitimate MVP candidate. Over those two seasons, Bregman hit a combined 72 home runs while slashing .291/.409/.561 (162 wRC+) and walking (15.4%) more than he struck out (12.0%). Elite stuff. Since then, however, he’s been a lot closer to All-Star level, r...
The San Francisco Giants have excellent players in place at three infield positions. They’re looking to upgrade at the fourth. Second base was not a strength for the Giants during the 2025 season.

Just two Season In Reviews left guys! Now’s the time to go back and check to see we missed anyone but I don’t think so. Today’s recap goes to right-hander Mitch Spence, who was a starter for most of his rookie season in 2024 but was relegated to bullpen work early last season before finally […]
By any measure, the Houston Astros are running out of easy ways to improve their roster. With the signing of Tatsuya Imai and the team operating near the Competitive Balance Tax, ownership has made it clear that more significant free-agent spending is off the table. That leaves one realistic path forward: trades. The problem? Moving […]
