There’s a presumption that this offseason is far from finished for the Cincinnati Reds. Though they were rendered second fiddle (at best) in their pusuit of slugger Kyle Schwarber and have so far not managed to land any other impact bats via trade, their seemingly genuine efforts to acquire some legitimate bats shows they know […]

When looking back on the 2025 season of Michael Conforto with hindsight, one realizes that the Dodgers were using Conforto to answer a question that was quickly rendered moot: what do the Dodgers do if Teoscar Hernandez decides to sign with Toronto or elsewhere? Unlike the 2021-signing of Trevor Bauer or the 2025-signings of Tanner […]
Julio Rodríguez has time to kill (more fly balls). Julio is one of the 10 best defensive centerfielders in MLB. He finished seventh in 2025 with 11 OAA; he’s second since his debut with 38 OAA. It’s the skill that separates him as one of the best young players in history. How long can he […]

He was good. Then he was disappointing. Then he got hurt. One could also say that Alvarado’s injury was a major inflection point for the 2025 Phillies season and not really in the good way. 2025 stats 28 G, 26 IP, 7 SV, 28.1 K%, 6.1 BB%, 1.38 HR/9, 3.81 ERA (3.60 FIP), 0.3 fWAR […]
The Royals are making moves, and this episode breaks down what they really mean. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco are joined by Thomas Nestico (TJ Stats) to analyze one of the most surprising trades of the offseason, as the Kansas City Royals strike a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers that could quietly pay dividends. The […]
There has been a lot of Tom Fitzgerald discourse lately, and rightfully so. Between the New Jersey Devils’ slide down the standings, the general inaction from the front office in addressing this slide, and perhaps most importantly, the blockbuster Quinn Hughes trade to the Minnesota Wild over the weekend, the fanbase has been given a […]
Happy Monday A’s fans! This winter has been a quiet one for the A’s and with Christmas right around the corner baseball season is fast approaching. There’s just 57 days left until pitchers and catchers report (give or take a day) and then a week later spring games will get underway. Meanwhile the Athletics have […]
This is my case for the Seattle Mariners not to trade for Brendan Donovan. Earlier this month, Jerry Dipoto was honored with Baseball America’s 2025 Executive of the Year. It’s the first time a Mariners executive has been awarded thusly, with Pat Gillick in 2001 winning the Sporting News honor that predated BA’s version back […]
While the 2026 MLB draft is six months and an entire spring season away, it’s time to start looking at mocks now that the draft order is set. Things will no doubt change rapidly once the college and high school seasons begin this season. Typically even the current top amateur players in the country will […]
In their hunt for a first baseman, the Nats are no longer going to be able to have Josh Bell as a fall back option. According to multiple reports, Bell will be signing with the Minnesota Twins on a one-year $7 million deal with a mutual option for a second year. We will break down […]
Over the weekend, the Mets signed Jorge Polanco to a two-year, $40 million deal. The move was the club’s first noteworthy move on the offensive side after trading Brandon Nimmo and letting Pete Alonso sign with the Orioles. While the move doesn’t perfectly replace the production lost from either player or neatly fill the vacated […]
In Mariners news… Around the league…
In this week’s coverage of Photos of the Week, gymnastics gets the first feature of the season! The Tigers hosted their Black & Gold intrasquad meet on Friday and Team Gold took the win 158.150-157.650. Men’s basketball faced Alabama State on Thursday and Bethune-Cookman on Sunday, winning 85-77 and 82-60, respectively. My favorite part about […]
The Royals had nine potential honorees on last year’s ballot. I made a case that at least eight of them could deserve to be elected, even though we were restricted to only voting for five. Because of that restriction, I chose to intentionally leave off Wade Davis and Alex Gordon because I felt it was […]
As you know, I have posted a series of articles here on players who could be free agent or trade targets for the Cubs this offseason. As a refresher, here are links to all those articles (except for two players who have already signed elsewhere). Dec. 5: Luis Severino (trade) Dec. 4: Edward Cabrera (trade) […]
Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]
In this edition, we are going to play agent for Jeremy Pena. There is no drama over whether Pena will be the shortstop for the Astros in 2026. He is arguably the most valuable position player on the team according to wins above replacement. Obviously, a healthy and productive Yordan Alvarez may challenge him on […]
A recent Padres Reacts Survey on Gaslamp Ball found the majority of San Diego Padres fans wanted to see Michael King return to the team, if the Padres had the financial means to sign just one of the top free-agent pitchers. Reports started to come out Sunday that King was close to making a decision […]

With nothing left to play for this season except pride, Dan Quinn’s squad showed they still have some fight left in them. Despite being outgained in total yards 384-340, going just 3-11 on third downs, losing the turnover battle 2-1 and getting flagged 11 times on the afternoon, Washington escaped MetLife Stadium with a 29-21 […]
For the first time in his career, Chris Kreider returns to MSG wearing different colors for a night that promises to be heavy, heartfelt, and unforgettable.
From now until the end of the year, Camden Chat writers will be revisiting some of the biggest moments and storylines of the disappointing 2025 Orioles season. For nearly a decade, the Orioles have had at least one of three familiar faces patrolling a portion of their outfield. But unless an unlikely move is coming […]
