We are now days away from Opening Day for the Atlanta Braves which means it is time for the final Opening Day roster projection. For a look at the prior projections, start with the last version on March 12. Most seasons, who make the Opening Day roster matters little in the grand scheme of things, […]
Hello friends and happy Saturday! The Mariners have been fully re-formed following the conclusion of the World Baseball Classic, and they celebrated by putting together their best performance of the spring in a 20-8 win over their soon-to-be Opening Day competitors — the Cleveland Guardians. With his two home runs, Cole Young is now third […]
Do not be fooled by the headline; Manny Machado is still the top run-producer for the San Diego Padres. But he deserves some assistance, and Fernando Tatis Jr. is ready for the challenge. Fernando has been a Padre for nearly a decade Tatis Jr. has been under the local spotlight since being acquired from the […]
They say Spring Training results do not matter, but you still do not want to lose two games on the same day to divisional opponents. That is what the San Diego Padres did by losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies in split squad matchups at Camelback Ranch and the Peoria Sports […]
Meet the Mets The Mets fell to the Cardinals 4-3 as we enter the last weekend of Grapefruit League action before the start of the regular season. Francisco Alvarez left Thursday’s game early with back tightness, but he already appears to be on the mend. Bo Bichette got some time at shortstop yesterday as he […]
MESA, Arizona — On an day when the Phoenix area tied its all-time March temperature record of 105 degrees — set the day before! — and the Cubs game at SloanPark was moved from afternoon to evening, the team got shaky pitching outings from Matthew Boyd and Jameson Taillon and lost both of their split-squad […]
The Braves shed 9 players on Thursday and Friday. The roster is starting to take shape. The Braves say that there are 36 players that are “in camp.” So here’s what we came up with for those 36: Pitchers (19)Aaron Bummer, Bryce Elder, Didier Fuentes, Daysbel Hernández, Grant Holmes, Raisel Iglesias, Tyler Kinley, Dylan Lee, […]
From the moment I introduced myself to Shea Langeliers it was clear he was just an easy guy to talk to. Friendly, personable, and laid back, Langeliers’ manner belies the insane job description of a major league catcher. That became one focus for our interview Saturday, March 14th, starting with the newest challenge. Pun intended. […]
Our ongoing birthday series here at PSA gives us the full range of the Yankees’ rich history, which includes both the likes of Lou Gehrig and Miguel Andujar. Today’s edition features a former Bomber more akin to the latter, as disappointment is the strongest association with Frankie Montas for Yankees fans. The big right-hander has […]
At this point each season, everything is fresh and new, and nearly anything seems possible. For the Red Sox infield, the mystery of what the season holds is even more intriguing because the Red Sox have an almost completely new-look infield. For the most part, the players are new to each other and to Fenway: […]
Roki Sasaki has struggled with command this spring training, all while adding new pitches to his repertoire. The Dodgers have been exceedingly patient with the 24-year-old right-hander, insisting all spring that he will start the season in the starting rotation, rather than get optioned to the minors to continue his work in progress. Bill Plunkett […]

Newcastle United’s Champions League exit against Barcelona has sparked a new wave of rumors and speculation around several players, none more so than midfielder and Italy international Sandro Tonali. The Daily Mail’s Craig Hope reported after the game against Barcelona that Tonali underwent an MRI scan after being forced off in Spain with an upper-leg […]
Game results: Reds 8, Cubs 6. A’s 6, Cubs 2. Well, that was no bueno. At least the televised game started out well. I made a bad coin flip and started out listening to the Reds game. Boyd wasn’t exactly good Friday night. Taillon wasn’t much better. Miguel Amaya had some juice. Al will have […]
Good morning Birdland, The final day of spring training has arrived! Huzzah! Kind of. At 1 p.m. today, the Orioles will host the Phillies for their last game down in Florida. It will be broadcast on MASN and the Orioles Radio Network. Then, they will head north for a home-and-home of exhibitions with the nearby […]
Kyle Freeland will take the ball for the Rockies on Opening Day in 2026 — the fifth Opening Day nod for a pitcher who has quietly built one of the most unique résumés in franchise history. By Baseball-Reference, he is already the Rockies’ all-time leader in WAR among starting pitchers (19.2), a reflection of both longevity and effectiveness in baseball’s […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We have officially reached the last weekend before baseball gets back! Opening Day for the San Francisco Giants is right around the corner. So this weekend, I wanted to get one last temperature check before the season starts. Personally, I’m just excited for baseball to be back. I have a tiny, […]
Every new season promises new surprises. Teams and players will drastically under- or overperform projections. Part of the fun of being a fan is planting your flag ahead of time and predicting the next breakout or disappointment (less fun). For example, I think Masyn Winn is going to overachieve every projection system this year and […]
The Los Angeles Dodgers are making a farce of the league. After winning back-to-back championships on the back of impossibly stacked rosters, they gave the best free agent on the market almost as much guaranteed money over the next four years than the White Sox, Guardians, and Marlins’ entire 2026 team payrolls combined. It is […]
The team’s starting rotation is out and it should not be a surprise. Cristopher Sanchez will start the opener and will be followed by Aaron Nola and Jesus Luzardo. Anyone thinking Rob Thomson would keep the lefties back-to-back has not watched Thomson manage these past few years. Not there is much to gain from it, […]
Maryland baseball found itself with a runner on base against No. 1 UCLA at the top of the seventh inning after Aden Hill singled to right field. Brayden Martin took the box after him, hitting a fly ball to center field. With no outs, Hill sped toward second base and began rounding the bases. But […]
We’ve arrived at the final weekend of spring training, and we can now count the number of exhibition games the Yankees have left on one hand. New York has four spring training dates left on the schedule, and by Wednesday next week, they’ll be in San Francisco to begin the season with a special Opening […]
March brings the most unpredictable period of basketball of the year. Usually, that uncertainty is reserved for the college game, but on Saturday, it may carry over to the NBA in San Antonio, not because of the product on the court, but who may even play in the game. The Indiana Pacers’ injury report is […]
On a night that celebrated its 1976 national championship team, Arizona couldn’t put together a performance befitting a champion. The Wildcats kept it close for a majority of the game, but Texas Tech’s powerful batting was too much in a 9-5 loss on Friday night at Hi Corbett Field in the opener of a 3-game […]
