For the second straight and now the fifth time, a player has topped the ballot in his first try (and technically, No. 1 overall voted prospect Braden Montgomery sorta doesn’t count). 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. […]

Good morning! The Red Sox released a behind-the-scenes video from Story Camp yesterday and I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking to improve their form on barbell squats. But the most intriguing thing in the video may come at about the 10-minute mark, when Jarren Duran is briefly shown wearing an infielder’s glove […]

The San Diego Padres have needs, but to this point in the offseason, they have not been addressed. Thomas Conroy of Gaslamp Ball talks about the need for the Padres to address the first base position and includes a possible trade candidate in Nick Castellanos as well as a free agent candidate that San Diego […]

The acquisition target made sense on paper. Eli Morgan was a guy who’d had lots of success as a big league reliever. The Cubs had some big needs in that area. He was cheap. He still had an option year left. And he was coming off a year with an injury that may well have kept the acquisition price down. I didn’t love what that acquisition price ultimately wound up being – outfield prospect Alfonsin Rosario, who was looking like a breakout player with more to come – but I understood the trad...

Greetings! It’s that magical time of the year when baseball pundits publish their annual rankings and Orioles fans can argue about whether Samuel Basallo should be the fourth-best prospect in baseball or the eighth. But beyond the fortunes of individual prospects, where does the organization as a whole stack up heading into 2026? The Orioles’ […]

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Nate Baez and he comes from Oro Valley, Arizona. Oro Valley looks like this: …so I can only assume that baseball is Baez’s second career after robbing stagecoaches didn’t work out.

The kids wound up getting the entire week off of school because of the massive dump of snow combined with the sub-zero temps. A little bonus winter break for them. We have reached the part of the offseason where the edge-of-40-man-roster moves have started happening. I’m talking about trades, specifically, and the same kinds of ones we see at the a rostering deadline in the fall. Things are getting crowded on the 40-man, teams are contemplating who has options left and who doesn’t, waiv...

Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are now the third MLB team facing a potential class action lawsuit regarding the alleged use of “junk fees” tacked onto the price of tickets above their advertised price. Specifically before 2024, when laws to restrict these types of fees were put into place by the Federal […]

As one of the 5,000 Rockies fans to hear from the new front office and coaching staff and lean into the new-look Rockies organization at Rockies Fest on Jan. 24, I was struck by three things: First, a genuine feeling of optimism. Coming off 119 losses, it almost seems impossible, but I was inspired by […]

I used to be a “small Hall” guy—generally believing that the hallowed halls of Cooperstown should be reserved for “the best of the best of the best—sir!” Then I saw this in 2023… Truth be told, I wouldn’t have checked the box next to Scott Rolen’s name on the HOF ballet. But seeing his emotional […]

As my mind’s eye turns to Spring Training, hope stirs. What once seemed so far away is now just around the corner, even though it hasn’t moved one iota (for those keeping score at home, iota is the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet and is proxy for really, really small amount). My mind wanders […]

The Yankees offseason hasn’t been as bad as the average fan believes: it has been worse. All kidding aside, things haven’t been explosive on the player acquisition front, but the Bombers have done plenty of work. They brought back Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, Amed Rosario, Tim Hill, Ryan Yarbrough, and Paul Blackburn while also trading […]

The New York Rangers ’ sell-off chatter has (somehow) moved past just Artemi Panarin. Frank Seravalli ’s recent take is that Vincent Trocheck might actually be the more valuable deadline piece. His logic is that Panarin is the bigger star, but he’s a pure rental with a full no-move clause and a massive cap number, which narrows the market fast. Trocheck is a playoff-style center, signed for multiple seasons at a far easier hit, and that kind of cost certainty can make GMs do reckle...
