Before the 2025 season began, the Cubs reportedly approached Pete Crow-Armstrong with a contract extension offer: It’s unclear how many years and option years would have been included in such a contract, but nothing was done beyond that. And all of that happened either early in the 2025 season or perhaps before it even began. […]

Morning, all! The Rangers traded for Jake Burger last year in the hopes to improve on their weak 2024 offense, but things didn’t exactly work out as planned. Burger is aiming to turn things around in 2025 after undergoing wrist surgery. We also have a podcast that asks if the Mariners were the perfect team […]

2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell Payton Tolle, a towering lefty who started his first professional season in High-A Greenville a few months ago, tore through the minor league system and showed a burst of promise before his lack of command on his secondary pitches got the best of him. He’s still not yet 23 and […]

A couple months ago, I talked about the Cardinals somewhat odd pitching depth situation. The pitchers who were supposed to be solid MLB depth for the 2026 season (if not in the rotation) got hurt. Tekoah Roby, Cooper Hjerpe, Tink Hence and Sem Robberse without injuries were supposed to all be pitchers you were relatively […]

The Phillies made a bit of a surprise trade last offseason when they acquired Jesús Luzardo from the Miami Marlins in exchange for one of their top prospects in Starlyn Caba.

The Orioles selected Kade Strowd in the 12th round of the 2019 draft. The West Virginia product became Rule 5 eligible after the 2022 season, but Baltimore did not feel any pressure to protect the reliever. Strowd reached Double-A Bowie in 2023, but the O’s got away with leaving the Mountaineer off the 40-man roster […]

Despite the ALCS going a full seven games and the Blue Jays not needing to travel anywhere before the World Series starts, we’re now sitting through day three of no baseball. The reason for this is of course money. MLB and the networks pre-determine the World Series dates and want them locked in ahead of […]

32 Years Ago Today I remember the moment. I remember thinking that win or lose, we would be okay. The Blue Jays had Pat Hentgen ready to be our starter in Game 7, and he had a great start in Game 3. But I’m happy with the way it ended. No matter how many times […]

Royals brass is not concerned about Jac Caglianone’s poor rookie showing ($): “It didn’t go as we may have liked it to have gone,” Picollo said. “But we’ve got to remind ourselves that he is one of the best players in baseball. He was probably on his way to being Minor League Player of the […]

The Orioles farm system has a number of prospects who did some truly exciting things in the course of the 2025 season. The organization added a wave of intriguing talent in the July amateur draft and still another wave as it traded away veteran players from a failing team going nowhere to stock up on […]
