1948 New White Sox GM Frank “Trader” Lane made his first deal, and it was a beauty. Lane traded backup catcher Aaron Robinson to the Tigers for a young, left-handed pitcher named Billy Pierce and $10,000. Pierce would become arguably the finest lefthander in White Sox history.

After weeks of leaks, secrecy, and confusion, the Colorado Rockies have finally hired their new head of baseball operations to lead the front office.

Once again, the Chicago Bears came back in the fourth quarter, this time after being down by 10, and they pulled off a 24-20 win against the New York Giants. With this win, they advance to 6-3 on the season. While some of their games have been ugly and often too close for comfort, this […]
Bold Predictions Paul Dietrich: The Brewers have three outfielders in the All-Star Game To be fair, I didn’t really buy this when I made this prediction in March, BUT: I was pretty wrong.

Brayan Bello entered 2025 looking to take a step forward. The Red Sox were rolling out Garret Crochet and Tanner Houck as a 1-2 punch, with Bello, Lucas Giolito, and Walker Buehler set to figure out the 3, 4, and 5 spots in the starting rotation. But, of course, the rotation suffered a lot over […]
