Good morning, baseball fans! Not only is it Wednesday, but it’s the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, which means that many of you are likely going to be hard at work preparing for tomorrow’s festivities, traveling to partake in festivities elsewhere, or bored at a relative’s house (or at work) and looking for something to do. To […]
Good morning. The Cold Stove League is thawing.
The Detroit Tigers, undeniably, need pitching help. Their starting rotation is Tarik Skubal and then a cluster of arms you can probably call better than average as a group, but each comes with distinct question marks. Reese Olson can’t stay healthy, Casey Mize regressed heavily after the All-Star Break, Jack Flaherty pulled a Jekyll and […]
Braves Franchise History 1935 – The National League takes over the bankrupt Boston Braves franchise after several failed attempts to buy the club. 2018 – The Braves sign free agents Josh Donaldson and Brian McCann to one-year deals. Donaldson will appear in 155 games while hitting .259/.379/.521 with 37 home runs. McCann posts a .249/.323/.412 […]
MLB.com’s Anne Rogers wrote about how Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen is giving back to the community during the holiday season. “At the end of the day, the people in Kansas City are super passionate about sports – about the Royals and Chiefs. And they show up for the players when the players are […]
The Yankees have struggled to find themselves a leadoff hitter for a while now — Aaron Judge gets on base like half the time, but his power is probably too valuable to slot him there, especially without a pair of future Hall of Famers behind him the way Shohei Ohtani enjoys. Trent Grisham was solid […]
Many moves were made last week in my offseason attempt as the new Colorado Rockies general manager in Out of the Park Baseball 26 to turn the team around quickly. With a new cast of characters, we set sail into the 2026 season from spring training, all the way to the All-Star Game to finish […]
The Red Sox have a new top of the rotation arm in Sonny Gray, who has put up a career ERA+ of 117 in 13 seasons. But it hasn’t always been pretty. The nadir of his career came in 2018, when Gray fell flat on his face in his lone full season with the Yankees. […]
Good morning and happy one of the drunkest days of the year to all who celebrate. Being from Venezuela, Carlos Narvaez probably does not celebrate Thanksgiving by spending the night at his hometown dive bar with his high school frenemies. But he will be celebrating in some capacity today, because it’s his birthday. Talk about […]
It was a quiet day for the Atlanta Braves on the news front, but things continued here on Battery Power as we move through our player review series. Up next, we take a look at Dylan Lee’s 2025 season. The club recently tendered a contract to left-handed Lee, so he will return to the bullpen […]
I had a vision for my prediction last week, but I came two sacks short. Detroit Lions EDGE Aidan Hutchinson came in clutch with the game-ending sack on Sunday afternoon against the New York Giants, but he didn’t have the big game I expected he would. I’m flipping the script this time, and I want […]
2025 stats (both SFG & BOS): 11 G 35.2 IP, 4.04 ERA / 3.72 FIP, 38 K, 14 BB, 4 HR, 1.27 WHIP, 39 GB%, +0.5 fWAR, big part of the Rafael Devers trade Usually, these year end player reviews focus on what a player did for the Giants, but it’s tough to talk about […]
As you might expect around this time of year, our friends over at BreakingT have gotten their holiday deals underway, and you can view all of the offers right here. For several years now, we’ve shared a bunch of their gear that’s been right up our alleys. From shirts featuring current stars Francisco Lindor and […]
Today we are wrapping up our series looking at potential targets from outside the Brewers’ organization that could help the team in 2026. We’ve already looked at starters, relievers, and infielders (and catcher), and today we’ll finish up by looking at the outfield. As always, we’ll start by looking at Milwaukee’s internal options, then survey […]
Thanksgiving is still one day away and it’s a perfect time to ask those who celebrate. When do you start listening to Christmas music? I wait until after I’ve had dinner on Thanksgiving. Is that a good strategy? Bad one? Who cares! I don’t know. On to the links: Phillies News MLB News
After a rookie season with a 3.53 ERA, Chad Patrick is already set to be a fundamental player in the Brewers’ rotation plans come 2026. The 27-year-old righty spent parts of three seasons at the Triple-A level before breaking out with the major league club. Although his debut campaign was already remarkable, is there room […]
Mike Kafka once joined the quarterback room in Foxborough on a futures contract. But the connections between the New England Patriots and New York Giants extend beyond the interim head coach. Beyond the staffs featuring Carmen Bricillo, James Ferentz, Troy Brown, Bryan Cox, Cam Achord, Zak Kuhr, Ben McAdoo and Tom Quinn, too. From the […]
Happy birthday to Matt Garza* and other former Cubs! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Bleed Cubbie Blue is pleased to present a Cubs-centric look at baseball’s colorful past. Here’s a handy Cubs timeline, to help you follow the various narrative paths. “Maybe I called it wrong, but it’s official.” — Tom Connolly, HoF Umpire. Today in baseball history: Cubs Birthdays: […]
It’s time to dream and warm up to the hot stove. Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone! I am about to go from fasting to feasting in record time. Although tonight I ate heartily: a bison burger with garlic, seasoning, havarti, stone ground mustard, chipotle mayo, a dash of ketchup, and some sauerkraut. But it will soon […]
Good Morning Birdland, Over the last week, things have slowed down around the warehouse. Meanwhile, the hot stove remains pretty active throughout the league. The Brandon Nimmo/Marcus Semien deal a few days ago was an interesting one. And then, on Tuesday, the Red Sox traded for Sonny Gray. Gray is a few years removed from […]
It’s rumor season and that means people are starting to move. We’ll start hearing about players that are on the trade block for a variety of reasons, but this one is interesting. Marte, as you know, has been a force lately while playing second base for the Diamondbacks. 2024 saw him land a top three […]
The hot stove stayed warm yesterday, as it was the Yankees’ archrivals turn to make a move. Boston traded for former Yankee Sonny Gray, getting him from St. Louis for a pair of pitchers including former Yankee farmhand Richard Fitts (and we can now go back to rooting for a 60-grade prospect name). Gray wasn’t […]
After a two-week hiatus, EuroLeague Women action resumes Wednesday, Nov. 26 for the sixth and final week of group play. Remember, the top three teams from each of the four groups will advance to the second round, where the 12 total clubs will be placed into two new groups of six. Second round play will […]

Hansi Flick’s high line at Barcelona came in for more criticism on Tuesday during a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League. Former striker and television pundit Alan Shearer had some harsh words for the Catalan giants and felt Barca were deservedly beaten by Stamford Bridge. “They keep on getting done time and time […]
