Former MLB manager Joe Maddon went on KNBR and said he considered the San Francisco Giants hiring Tony Vitello to be “insulting.” Current broadcaster Duane Kuiper said he found Maddon’s insulting comments, well, insulting.

It was a successful week for the Giallorossi, as Roma achieved matching 2-0 wins over Rangers and Udinese.

A look at projected contracts for the Giants free agent targets

It’s that time again: free agency. Where you dream about what the San Francisco Giants might do, and then they almost surely do something else entirely. For a few years now I’ve had an annual article that I write at the beginning of free agency, and you’ve stumbled across this year’s iteration. The goal is […]

Scott Boras Speaks: Useful Imai Info, Cease Comments, Less Useful (But Mildly Entertaining) Puns

The tortured Scott Boras puns have become fun at this point, haven’t they? We expect them from the super-agent at any of these national baseball gatherings, and he delivers the two-parts corny, one-part clever zingers while holding court with the media. And, occasionally, he mixes in some actually useful info. Boras spoke today at the GM Meetings in Las Vegas, and I’ll start with the useful info: Boras said that Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai will be posted November 19, starting his 45-da...

2025 Diamondbacks Reviews: #58 Connor Kaiser

Overview Voting overview 2025 review My first player review this offseason, Jeff Brigham, had a very similar path to the team as today’s subject.

The Duran dilemma

Among all of the other offseason discourse, a question looms large: “What’s the best thing to do about Jarren Duran?” The Sox just came to an agreement on a new salary number with him, but there’s still a definite chance he gets traded away. Would keeping him make more sense, or would trading him be […]

The 11-season run by Austin Barnes with the Dodgers ended when the veteran backstop was released in May.

Cubs walkoff heroes: Luis Salazar, Sept. 9, 1989

The hit by Luis Salazar that won this day’s game might have been the single play that cemented the NL East title for the Cubs in 1989. To understand that statement, a little context is needed. Salazar had been acquired in trade just 10 days earlier from the Padres. It was just his ninth game […]

Wednesday Bantering: Jays Bits

There isn’t all that much for Jays’ news, which isn’t a surprise. John Schneider came in second for the Manager of the Year award. A lot of us figured he would win, because he took the Jays from last to first in the AL East. Of course, he was the manager when they finished last […]

So Far So Good On MLB Awards

Like with the Academy Awards, sometimes the committee gets it right and sometimes it leaves you dumbfounded as to how a group of people convened for the sole purpose of having good judgment can see things so differently from you. And like the Academy Awards, at the end everyone is talking about a guy named […]
