Until this week, it was unknown if 3B/1B Kazuma Okamoto would even be available for MLB teams. The Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball are known for refusing to post their star players, so if Okamoto wanted to play stateside, he’d naturally become an international free agent in another year’s time. Despite an injury-shortened season […]

In the 2003 Michael Lewis book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning An Unfair Game," the Oakland A's acquired David Justice. Justice was a two-time 40-home run player who gave the Athletics what hockey men call Rings in the Room, but that's not nearly why the A's targeted the 36-year-old for the 2002 seas...

When the Oilers and Rangers met up on October 14th, Edmonton grinded out a 2-0 win on the back of a Stuart Skinner shutout. It was one of those games where the boys needed their goalie to steal one, and that’s exactly what happened. So, with New York in town for the rematch on Thursday…

The 49ers are aiming to bounce back from a hugely underwhelming Week 8 display when they face the New York Giants on the road. San Francisco is favored to improve to 6-2, but victory is far from a given for the 49ers considering their injuries and the issues that are afflicting them on both sides […]

How you view Francisco Alvarez’s 2025 may say a lot about how you view life. If you want to look at it as a glass half full situation, he had his best offensive season by a mile, and after his demotion to Triple-A in late June and his subsequent promotion back to the Majors in […]

New Nationals skipper Blake Butera, as noted by many, does not have much professional playing experience, spending just 2 seasons in the minor leagues for the Rays before calling it quits, peaking at the Low A level. Before that, he spent 4 years playing collegiate ball at Boston College, where he was a spark-plug up […]

This week’s poll asked an overly simplistic question. Forget nuance, I wanted a clear direction. Should the Rays operate as usual to build for 2026, or try something new: Spending Money. Here’s what y’all had to say: The Tampa Bay Rays have long operated as baseball’s perennial underdog, trading stars like David Price, Blake Snell, […]

As the World Series rolls on, the Toronto Blue Jays represent an interesting mirror-image of the Milwaukee Brewers. While Milwaukee struggled in their 4-0 series loss in the NLCS, their roster bears similarities to the Blue Jays, who have put up a much more convincing effort. Both teams, renowned for their defense and plate-approaches, are […]

A weirdo with the perfect personality for the city of Philadelphia, Brandon Marsh is beloved by all demographics of Phillies fans. Whether he’s barking in people’s faces, sharing his infectious laugh, or hyping up his teammates, there’s no shortage of appreciation for his antics.

At the beginning of the week, the Dodgers were looking to take control of a World Series tied at one game apiece. What followed was a marathon game that will likely be lost to the sands of time due to the Dodgers picking the most inopportune moment to play their worst ball of the year. […]

Kansas City Royals reliever Lucas Erceg made a great first impression with the team in 2o24. The right-handed reliever was acquired at the trade deadline from the then Oakland Athletics and immediately became the most important bullpen piece for Matt Quatraro. In 25 innings after joining the Royals, Erceg posted a 1.17 FIP, striking out […]

I like Seiya Suzuki and what he’s brought to the Cubs. He’s been worth 11.1 bWAR in his four years with the team, about 3 WAR per season. He will hit his 100th home run as a Cub next year, most likely (almost certainly, as he’s averaged 22 per season). The Cubs have wanted to […]
