Special teams has been a major area of concern the last two seasons for Mizzou, and a vocal point of frustration among the fanbase. After consecutive years of inconsistent play that cost the team in some close games, the Tigers took major steps to fix the problem by allowing Erik Link’s contract to expire and […]

Last week, even as the Cubs were signing outfielder Chas McCormick to a minor league deal, Dylan Carlson was spotted working out in Arizona with the team . Fair to wonder, then, whether the Cubs were also going to try to bring in Carlson on a minor league deal as additional depth/upside/bench competition. Greg Zumach hears that, yes, Carlson is coming: There was some ambiguity about whether the Cubs would sign Dylan Carlson with Chas McCormick and Justin Dean in the organization, but...

Weather update – the game will be played as scheduled. Duke’s road victory over Louisville comes with an unfortunate asterisk: the Cardinals’ best player, freshman Mikel Brown Jr., was inactive. In fact, Brown had missed all of Louisville’s ACC action before playing in their win Saturday over Virginia Tech. Brown certainly performed like a player […]

Our CPL continues on this bright and beautiful morning and the third spot in our community’s rankings goes to another left-hander in Gage Jump. The Athletics’ second round pick last year had an amazing first season in the professional ranks, starting the year in High-A before getting promoted to Double-A, where he spent the majority […]

Despite being short of numbers in both defence and attack as the end of the January transfer window looms, a Liverpool side currently in sixth place and at threat of missing out on Champions League qualification appear set not to make any moves to strengthen their squad. That doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of rumour […]

Jake Bloss is a 24-year-old (25 in June), right-handed pitcher. We picked him up (with Joey Loperfido and Will Wagner) from the Astros, at the trade deadlin in 2024, for Yusei Kikuchi. Kikuchi made 10 starts for the Astros and had a 2.70 ERA with a 5-1 record, helping them get the Wild Card spot […]

The MacKenzie Gore trade made it abundantly clear that Paul Toboni is thinking about the long game. It is not just that Toboni traded Gore that has me thinking this. The prospect package he chose is full of high upside players that are multiple years from the MLB. Four of the five pieces in the […]

Ryan Clifford, a North Carolina native, attended high school at Leesville Road High School, a public school in Raleigh for his freshman and sophomore seasons. It quickly became apparent that he was a big fish in a small pond, as he posted a .526 with 4 home runs over 21 games in his freshman year, […]

One of the things that have always been synonymous with the long and illustrious history of the New York Yankees have been the sheer amount of cash their biggest superstars make. Since Babe Ruth was making $52,000 in 1922, numerous players in pinstripes have had the distinction of being the highest-paid player in MLB. When […]

I do have more to come but you know - snow storm . So for today - what do you expect back for CJ Abrams. They don't HAVE to trade CJ but it seems EXTREMELY unlikely that they will be competitive in the time before he becomes a FA. Are they going to be good enough to convince him to stay? Do you take that chance instead of selling him on a decently high note with a couple years of control left? The way I read the Nats management the answer is no. So what do you want back...

There is latent hope in just about every baseball prospect. Prospect, by definition, implies a good bit of promise and a lot of expectation with variability. With Arnaldo Lantigua, though, there’s an added bit of prospect pressure. Acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers, he was dealt to the Cincinnati Reds for an amount of international […]

Ben Williamson doesn’t rush; he just moves quickly. The defensive standout’s quick feet and steady hands earned him a promotion to MLB after just 689 plate appearances in the minors, despite his college career coming in the decidedly mid CAA. And he spent most of the first two-thirds of the 2025 season as the Mariners’ […]

Another Chicago Cubs player is going to be participating in the most star-loaded World Baseball Classic yet. Outfielder Seiya Suzuki, who had to miss the WBC last time around because of an ill-timed oblique injury, will be suiting up in March for Team Japan ( also, very cooly, known as Samurai Japan ), consistently one of the best teams in the international tournament. Suzuki’s comment to the official team site , via translation: “I regret not being able to play last time, so I’m going to...

24. Wilder Dalis (93 points, 11 ballots) The 19-year-old Venezuelan switch-hitting third baseman and shortstop was signed as an older 16-year-old in May 2023 (most of the highly touted prospects sign in January) to a small enough bonus that it wasn’t reported, indicating that Dalis wasn’t highly sought after as a prospect. No matter — […]

One of the things the Cubs lacked in their 92-win team in 2025 was a good, traditional backup outfielder. They had Vidal Bruján backing up Pete Crow-Armstrong in center field, and that, as you know, was hardly optimal. Willi Castro and Jon Berti also played outfield for the Cubs last year. Apart from Ian Happ, […]

If you’ve been paying any attention over the last few years, you’ll have noticed that a smaller and smaller percentage of movies make it to the theaters. These days, many, if not most are being released directly to streaming. This used to be the sort of thing movie production companies only did when they had […]

When Brewers fans talk about the bullpen, names like Trevor Megill or Abner Uribe usually dominate the conversation. That makes sense. Closers and flamethrowers tend to get the attention. But one of the most important arms in Milwaukee’s bullpen is not the one finishing games or lighting up the radar gun. It is Jared Koenig, […]

We have hit the lull in between the hot stove league and Spring Training. There will be more deals made between now and then, but your Houston Astros are probably winding down their additions and changes. This affords us time to dive into some side conversations that could prove interesting. Last week, the BBWAA elected […]

THE CHICAGO CUBS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL! AS IN, THEY WILL BE PRESENT IN MY MIND THERE! BECAUSE NO MATTER WHO ACTUALLY WINS, THE CUBS SEASON STARTS IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER! SOMEHOW THAT WORKS IN MY BRAIN! WOO! FOOTBASEBALL! I have been thinking about Javier Assad from time to time, as one does when discussing the possibility of the Cubs adding another locked-in starting pitcher to a group that already goes at least five deep with other locked-in types, plus another five deep in swing...
