Since most of the conversation lately seem to have zigged towards the Nolan Gorman question and somewhat the Riley O’Brien question, I decided to zag in another direction. My curiosity? Of the minor leagues prospects we’ve been watching, who has the most interesting pitch shape metrics (ie. the under the hood stuff)? We seem to […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The path to getting there might not have been ideal, but the Orioles salvaged a split with the Mariners in the opening series of their seven-game homestand. The O’s have snapped a four-game losing streak by winning their last two, taking last night’s finale by a 7-5 score. A six-run third […]

The 22-year-old right-hander had a 4.50 ERA and a 1.481 WHIP at Triple-A Indianapolis this season, which are hardly sparkling numbers, but as the team continues to […]

Wtih a dreadful .174 average and .528 OPS through the first six or so weeks, it seemed like a complete lost season for him. But then a three-week run that included a 10-game hitting streak and 15 RBIs in 14 games had Duran back as a premier leadoff man with the BoSox, and as a primo trade candidate once again. He's cooled off over the past week, but has still reignited some interest on the market.&...

They’ve won five of six since the Captain’s injury was officially announced, with the offense particularly stepping up in a series sweep in Cleveland. The road trip continues with […]
Nick Pratto did not have to travel far for his next opportunity. The San Diego Padres signed the first baseman to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A El Paso.

McCarthy.Many are asking if there’s even a reason to keep McCarthy around town if Minnesota felt compelled enough to sign Murray. Murray still has good years ahead of him, and isn’t the typical “bridge” QB. When he’s on, he’s arguably […] The post Vikings WR Justin Jefferson Doesn’t Hold Back on J.J.
