As of today, we’re almost exactly two weeks from the day when pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training.

Wednesday was a strange one for Juventus. They entered the final game of the Champions League league phase with an outside chance at making it to the top eight, but also stood to lose some ground in the playoff draw should they lose. Do you go gung ho to win, or do you set the […]

It’s been enough of a theme around here this offseason that, by the time farm system rankings were due to start rolling out, I would hope most of you already know that the Chicago Cubs are not going to fare especially well. There’s a lot of young talent on the big league roster, and the Cubs have used prospects well in trade, but the natural thinning that has accompanied the trades and promotions tended toward a reduction in overall talent down on the farm. Combine that with relatively po...

Anthony Rizzo took a little time to settle in as the clubhouse leader of the Chicago Cubs of yore, with an outwardly quiet demeanor that belied the charismatic, funny guy who was lurking in there. But once we got to see it, you got the sense that Rizzo was an enjoyable guy to be around in the baseball environment. And, having done a little mic time over the years in a media hit here and there, Rizzo is apparently ready to take that skill set to a wider audience: NBC is set to hire fo...

Remember when everyone was excited about Matt “Mash” Mervis making the major leagues?

I’m taking a break from looking at players on the 40-man roster, because there is one man outside it, who increasingly appears to be a candidate to make the Opening Day 2026 squad for the Diamondbacks.
