Paul Toboni pulled the trigger on a massive move by sending Dylan Crews to Triple-A to start the season. Even as Crews struggled mightily this spring, I did not think they would pull the trigger and send him down. However, I was wrong and the former second overall pick will be starting his season in […]
Previous Winner Victor Valdez, SS17 | R/R | 6’1” | 186 A pretty swing with a low whiff rate earned Valdez a big payday this winter — $3.5 million — with as good of a power projection as you can reasonably ask for from a a teenage bat, having been given a 25+ home run […]
Diamondbacks News (SI.com) Diamondbacks’ Eduardo Rodriguez Has a Chance to Flip Ugly Narrative Rodriguez is entering the third year of a four-year, $80 million deal he signed ahead of 2024. He was not brought on to be an ace, but rather to bring veteran stability to the D-backs’ rotation after posting a career year in […]
On the heels of another fun World Baseball Classic — this one with an unexpected result, as Venezuela emerged with the gold — it seemed a good time to review how it’s being received by White Sox fans. There has been a fair amount of discussion over the timing of the tournament, what with the […]
Even after recording the best record in their league, winning a pennant, and getting to within a fateful bounce or two of winning the World Series, the road is not always easy in perhaps the league’s most competitive and balanced division. That is precisely where the 2026 Blue Jays find themselves. 2025 was a resounding […]
The outdoor season is coming in fast, and the Tigers are ready for their first meet at the Yellow Jacket Invitational on Friday and Saturday, March 20-21. This meet will hopefully mark the season debut for Mizzou’s javelin throwers, adding an extra layer of excitement to the competition. It also gives many of our athletes […]
The 2025 Cincinnati Reds won more games than they lost, finished 3rd in the National League Central, and still somehow found a way to sneak into the expanded playoff system (for a minute). Clearly, Nick Krall and the rest of the front office think they’re on to something, as the club went out and signed […]
Less than a week away from the start of the 2026 regular season, the St. Louis Cardinals will send Matthew Liberatore to the mound for a Spring Training matchup against the New York Mets at Clover Park with a start time of 12:10pm. MLB.com shows that the Mets will start Tobias Myers.
As usual, this figures to be the strongest division in baseball — one where you could make an argument for four teams and if you squinted really hard, a fifth one as well. Still, this division has sent the American League representative to the World Series for the past two seasons in a row and […]

First pitch against the Boston Red Sox is at 1:05 at Charlotte Sports Park and the Rays will be providing tv and radio coverage.
Spring Training is winding down. The Jays sent some regulars to Fort Myers to play the Twins and Max Scherzer gets the start. Straw, Lukes, and Sanchez are playing in the outfield. Schneider is there to DH. And Tyler Heineman and Leo Jimenez are playing too. I’ve enjoyed watching Arjun Nimmala and Josh Kasevich too […]
The Dodgers added pitcher Logan Allen on a minor league deal, Shi Davidi of SportsNet reported on Thursday. Allen on Thursday himself posted pictures of himself at Camelback Ranch on Instagram as well. Allen pitched in parts of five seasons in the majors, the last coming in 2024 with the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 45 career […]
As the Houston Astros inch closer to Opening Day, it’s time to confront an increasingly uncomfortable reality: this roster already has some notable “have-nots,” particularly in the bullpen. The team entered camp knowing it would be without closer Josh Hader to begin the season as he continues to recover from a bicep issue. That alone was a […]
Is it on TV? Yup! First pitch is on NESN at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? Why should we watch? Do you need another reason to watch other than the return of Roman Anthony? We’ve got Willson Contreras in there, too, whom we haven’t seen much of this spring. And while Blake Wehunt isn’t much […]

In the 2022 MLB Draft, Gavin Cross was taken ninth overall by the Kansas City Royals. The Virginia Tech outfielder had just wrapped up an outstanding three-year career with the Hokies. In his “freshman” season in 2020, he started all 16 games and hit .369, recording seven multi-hit performances before the pandemic cut the season […]

It seems like a […]
Although it ultimately came down to a two-horse race, the National League West fielded four teams in 2025 that showed flashes throughout the year. Those four squads started hot and held a winning record as July kicked off. While the Los Angeles Dodgers would ultimately hold serve throughout September, the San Diego Padres were within […]
1900 The still-minor league White Sox purchase second baseman Dick Padden from the Washington Senators. In truth, Padden was sold to Detroit, but in some transaction lost to time, Padden ended up on the South Side, as the White Sox’s first player-manager. (Charles Comiskey is regarded as the 1900 team’s manager, but player-managers were the […]
Paul Mirabella pitched in the big leagues for 13 years, tossing nearly 500 innings for six different teams, mostly in relief. He was never an All-Star, never a league leader, never a closer, and never appeared in the playoffs. Considering those facts, his longevity is a remarkable achievement and a testament to power of a […]
