This is an absolute stunner; less for the content of the decision and more for the timing.
The chief baseball officer in Minnesota is out, after almost the entire offseason played out, and on the eve of Spring Training:

On January 21, 2026, Jett Williams was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. This list, and Williams’ place on it, was compiled back in late-November. For continuity’s sake, I decided upon including Williams’ profile, but for all intents and purposes, every player on our list below Williams can be considered to have moved up a spot […]

Cavan played 30 games for the Dodgers, hitting .192.306/.329 and was released in early August. He went from there to the Giants, then the Braves, […]

In Thursday night’s open thread, I discussed the weather forecast that was a bit concerning for Saturday. Saturday was important because that was when this year’s edition of Braves Fest was scheduled. Well, the weather forecast for Metro Atlanta hasn’t gotten any better since Thursday and as such, the Braves have officially made the decision […]

One thing Paul Toboni has made clear is that he values every single spot on the 40-man roster. He is happy to use the waiver wire and uses every spot on the 40-man. It is becoming clear that there will be a lot of churn on the backend of the 40-man roster this year. Yesterday […]

Trocheck is too valuable to keep, Lafrenière might be broken (or fixable), and Braden Schneider could be the kind of trade chip GMs convince themselves they can save.

Kyle Louis, LB, Pitt Kyle Louis has been one of the best players all week in Mobile, and has been fiercely competing with Jacob Rodriguez for best Senior Bowl LB. The hybrid WLB/SS has been predictably phenomenal in coverage reps and 1 on 1 drills, but has also displayed an impressive ability to find and […]

There are 365 days in a year, with a Yankee born on each of them over the years. Recounting each of these 365 days may not always bring us a Ruth or a Jeter; sometimes we may spend a day looking back on the likes of a Hipólito Peña. It is no small feat to […]

It is never fair to blame a team’s collapse on a single player, let alone one as otherwise likeable as Cedric Mullins, who ultimately was a pretty small cog in the grand scheme of the spectacular failure that was the 2025 season. But if there is a player who came to symbolize—justly or not—that failure, […]

Last year, the player I was the most optimistic about bouncing back from a tough season was Maikel Garcia. I didn’t foresee him taking a huge step forward, but you could see heading in 2025 that there were still lots of positives in his batted-ball profile despite the poor results. Garcia worked hard on his […]

Good morning, LSB. The Rangers formally introduced new pitcher MacKenzie Gore yesterday. Kennedi Landry says the Rangers hope Gore can “level up” in Arlington. Evan Grant asks if adding another pitcher to this offense starved roster will be enough to compete in 2026. Kevin Sherrington says the Gore deal was too logical to pass up […]

(UPDATE: An incorrect salary was fixed, and a better summary is included at the bottom of the post.) At the start of the offseason, we looked at the initial payroll projection for 2026. While not much has changed to the roster since then, there have been some adjustments. As the end of January approaches, and […]

But this round, Phil Fox has joined Mathias LaCombe, Ky Bush and Zach Franklin as first-timers and Vote winners all in one sweep. Fox […]

In Economics, there is a fairly basic concept known as the law of marginal utility. We usually explain this to students through the use of pizza. Each slice of pizza is a little less satisfying than the one before it. This lesson is usually taught at a similar time as the law of diminishing returns. […]
