Major League Baseball's upcoming CBA negotiations have generally been framed around the question of the salary cap. Owners want it . Players don't. The rest of it—Juan Soto makes $50 million a year, a third of the league's teams keep forgetting to try, so on—is both true enough and primarily noise made for the sake of making noise. Every CBA negotiation is at least a little bit like this.
The question of “Which side are you on?” is complicated somewhat by the fact that this is a dispute bet...
At the conclusion of the Diamond Ducks’ seasons, we have become accustomed to player movement through the portal. That said, the loss of so many promising players in baseball was rather startling. That should not distract us from some significant coaching changes in Oregon baseball and softball. Seismic movement has been happening in both programs, […]
The Marlins need to make up their minds fast.
The Orioles completed a seven-run comeback to take two of three from the Tigers on Wednesday. They’re off today and will play a three-game set against the Phillies this weekend as the lead-up to the deadline. Baltimore sits three games under .500 at 53-56 but find themselves in the muddled AL Wild Card picture. They’re […]
If the Miami Marlins opt to trade All-Star shortstop Otto Lopez mid-breakout, it could net them a haul of short- and long-term contributors.
These bold predictions for the MLB trade deadline are going to leave you stunned.
These 3 teams are ALL IN on George Springer.
There could be a trade in the works between the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays.
Max Muncy hit five home runs in 245 plate appearances in parts of two seasons with the Oakland A’s before signing a minor league contract with the Dodgers, hit 12 home runs in 110 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City in his first year in the organization, and didn’t debut with the Dodgers until he was […]
Las Vegas Raiders football is back, baby! Kind of… We still have a couple of weeks before the Raiders have their first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 13. But training camp is underway with the veterans reporting on Tuesday and the team’s first practice of the summer on Wednesday morning. So, it’s […]
Lefty takes no-hitter into the seventh for AA Chesapeake
Thursday notes… Cubs lineup: Cardinals lineup: Javier Assad, RHP vs. Andre Pallante, RHP This start was originally going to be Shōta Imanaga’s, but the Cubs announced late Wednesday that Javier Assad would go in this game. Assad last pitched Saturday against the Pirates, throwing three scoreless innings and posting a save. He threw only 32 […]
The Rangers acquired a middle reliever in the most complicated way possible.
The MLB 2026 trade deadline of Monday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m. MDT is fast approaching. The Colorado Rockies (and, frankly, most teams) were disappointingly quiet on so far this week, but it’s a new day, so we can all hope for action. As the day progresses, we’ll keep this tracker updated with the most […]
Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan has been alarmingly bad in the second half throughout his career.
I never thought I’d say this about the 2026 New York Mets but folks, I’m tired of them. I think y’all would agree with me on that as well. Indeed, the Mets have seemingly had Atlanta’s number this season and it’s coming at an inopportune time — one when the Mets are about as vulnerable […]
Back in August, I began a series here at Pinstripe Alley where I was going to put together an All-Star Yankee team of players who were born in a given month. Since then, we as a staff have started doing daily posts for the year 2026, highlighting a Yankee from history whose birthday happens to land on that […]

Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals preview, Thursday 7/30, 1:15 CT
The Jays have the day off and then play 17 days in a row. One of those fun parts about being a baseball player is that there are often long stretches between weekends and, generally, weekends are just one day long. I’m using much of this day off watching The Odyssey. I haven’t been to […]
Mizzou DL Sterling Webb has been granted a TRO against the NCAA and will be eligible for 2026.
The post Mizzou DL Sterling Webb granted TRO against NCAA, will be eligible for 2026 appeared first on Saturday Down South .
Just from a theatrics standpoint, perhaps the most interesting move the Phillies could make before Monday’s 6 p.m. ET trade […]
Go Rays!
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays are having a nightmare season, and I'm finally able to tell you why.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are approaching the 2026 MLB trade deadline as a likely buyer or at the very least should be a seller. But being that the Bucs are a contender in the NL Wild Card hunt, they are expected to make some moves come the August 3 MLB trade deadline. There are some serious […]
A new trade rumor suggests the New York Mets could end up getting a big return for Freddy Peralta from […]
