Meet the Mets Keith Hernandez sat down for an interview with the Post and revealed he would like to stay with SNY even though his current contract is up. Hernandez is also firmly in the re-sign Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz camp. Should the Mets lose Edwin Díaz if he opts out, who could replace […]

As you’d expect after the struggles from the Detroit Tigers offense in the second half of the 2025 season, coaching changes are in the works. Whether they’ll be positive ones is anyone’s guess at this point. Hitting coach Keith Beauregard will not return to the Tigers in 2026. He joins first base coach Anthony Iapoce […]

Earlier this week, I wrote a post that looked at each position on the Brewers and identified shortstop and the outfield as the most likely places that the team could improve the team in 2026 (with a TBD in the starting rotation). As a follow-up to that post, I’m going to look at the upcoming […]

The Blue Jays followed up a brutal Game 3 loss that went 18 innings with a late blowout to even the series up at two all. Now facing the final game in Los Angeles, the scales could tip heavily in their favor if they managed to snag a 3-2 series lead heading back to Toronto. […]

Good morning, baseball fans! With today being an off-day for the World Series, let’s get back to some of our regularly scheduled content about the San Francisco Giants for today’s BP. While the team may have had another lackluster season on the whole, they did have some absolutely awesome defensive gems. And the Giants’ social […]

The Orioles claimed Bryan Baker from the Blue Jays all the way back in November 2021. The move came shortly after the team reinstated Jorge López and DJ Stewart from the 60-day injured list. Baker went on to join fellow relievers Paul Fry, Dillon Tate and Joey Krehbiel on the 2022 Opening Day roster. Baker […]

We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. The Cubs have things to do. I’ve no doubt that the current scarcity of Cub coverage is only due to the ongoing finale to the season, a dramatic World Series between the mighty Dodgers and ineffable Blue Jays, who seek to cast a fog upon LA. […]

The Arizona Cardinals worked out nine free agents on Wednesday at their practice facility, three of whom were quarterbacks. NFL General Managers regularly bring in players at various positions in order to update their records in the event a position of need arises from an injury. It is called “keeping current.” The players were (in […]

Back on June 2, I wrote an article about the Colorado Rockies then-record, but also rescored each game based on “Banana Ball” rules, inspired by the Savannah Bananas. At that time, the Rockies were 12-50 with a run differential of -181. Based on Banana Ball rules, they would’ve actually been 14-15-33 with a run differential […]

Braves History 2021 – The Braves take a three-games-to-one lead in the World Series by winning Game 4 at home, 3 – 2, over Houston. The Astros take an early 2 – 0 lead, scoring a run against unlikely opener Dylan Lee in the 1st and another on a solo homer by Jose Altuve in […]

Marco Scutaro turns 50 today (sorry Marco, but it only gets worse from here). Many of my favourite Jays have birthdays in October. We picked up Scutaro in trade from the A’s back in November of 2007. In the post about the trade achnegy said: I am not surprised at who this trade partner is […]

Hello, friends. There are now 147 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2026. At most two of these days will have real baseball, depending on whether the World Series finishes in six or seven games. Today is not one of those days, as the teams will travel back to Toronto to settle whatever is left. […]

I have to say, it’s been fun watching the Sixers and Flyers so far this season. Sure, all of us here are just staring into the wintry void waiting for baseball to come back, but the winter sports teams at least being entertaining helps pass the time, especially on an Eagles bye week. Now if […]

There’s a reason why it’s so rare that teams win back-to-back World Series. It’s Not Easy! The New York Yankees were the last team to pull off a repeat (actually their most recent was a three-peat) in 1998-2000. The last National League team to do it was the Big Red Machine in 1975-76. Diehard A’s […]

1959 He was acquired before the start of the 1958 season, and part of the cost was trading the popular Minnie Miñoso, so pitcher Early Wynn didn’t start out on the right side of things with a lot of Sox fans. Compounding the issue was a mediocre 1958 season. In 1959, however, Wynn turned back the clock, leading the major […]

It’s the final offday of the 2025 Major League Baseball season, and tomorrow could be the end of the road. The Blue Jays won Game 5 last night to surprisingly take two out of three in LA despite the 18-inning marathon loss. The Dodgers’ repeat dreams are on life support ahead of Game 6 on […]

Babe Ruth retired from professional baseball in 1935, but even 90 years later, he stands as a titan of the game. Everyone knows who he is or at least understands when someone makes a reference to him. He was the dominant player in a glamorous era and still retains an aura. The Sultan of Swat, […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates’ bullpen had some pleasant surprises in 2025, which led to a quick turnaround and a better outlook going into this season than last. Late in 2024, the backend of the bullpen (Holderman and Bednar) completely collapsed, and it was pretty bad to start in 2025. While Holderman was even more of a […]
