That is due to a combination of injuries and underperformance from players in the 2024 draft class. However, there are three players in the system that […]

It seems impossible that the Detroit Tigers would actually do it. A team that is a true World Series contender should never consider such a thing. Despite it lacking all common sense and defies instincts of self preservation, there apparently is a chance that the best pitcher in baseball, the soon-to-be 29-year-old left-handed flame-thrower Tarik […]

For the Astros’ fan, deprived of any meaningful games since late September, this World Series might not seem worth watching. Hard to blame the Houston fan for thinking that.
