The New York Rangers have been discussing multiple trades the past few weeks and one Ranger who is drawing the most trade interest is two-way center, Vincent Trocheck Trocheck, 32, is one of the few Rangers' trade candidates who doesn't have a full no-movement clause. He holds a 12-team no-trade list so there's certainly some say in the matter, but GM Chris Drury has some options if he wants to pull the trigger. Trocheck's appeared in 38 games this season, scoring 11 times and adding 21 points...

It feels like the MLB roster is all but set for the Yankees. With Cody Bellinger back in the fold, and backing up Aaron Judge, the club will more or less return the same nine or ten everyday players that we saw last season. The other major position player signing this winter was of course […]

A lot of people around the team’s fanbase are expecting the Phillies to have a worse season in 2026 than they had in 2025. Whether that be though lack of moves on the free agent/trade market or a natural regression to their true talent, there seems to be a bunch of things people see going […]

The recent talk about Dustin Pedroia on the Hall of Fame ballot has only further increased my desire for a capable, reliable Red Sox infield. We’ve seen it before, and we could get there again. Alex Bregman’s departure not only opened up a hole which the front office thought it had solved in 2025, but […]

1939 It was the early years of the Hall of Fame, so voting results could still tend to be pretty weird. Case in point, Eddie Collins was voted into the Hall of Fame — on his fourth try. Collins, by his 124.4 WAR the best second baseman in baseball history, had fallen 110 votes short […]

Welcome to the weekend. We can expect some winnowing around the edges, but it looks like the personnel are settled, more or less. I have some concerns about the handedness of the bench but it’ll work out. Or it won’t. Ability counts more, really. But I like balance. Apparently I’m not alone. I understand that […]
