Pondering Ben Rice as possible Yankees leadoff hitter

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 […]

How about a defense-forward infield for the Red Sox?

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 […]

Today in White Sox History: January 24

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 […]

A closer look at the Tigers 2026 international free agent class

The 2026 international signing period opened a week ago (Jan. 15), and Detroit signed seven players. While prospects can sign any time between Jan. 15 and Dec. 15, the good ones come off the board almost immediately. Of course, even more so with prep picks in the amateur draft, these players are a real roll […]

Chicago Cubs news and notes — Carlson, Hoerner, McCormick, Shaw

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 […]

Farewell and thanks, Freddy

I am not here to analyze that trade (Jason both reported on the trade and looked at what the return, Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams, will offer the 2026 Brewers, and we’ll have […]

Orioles news: As season nears, available pitching upgrades dwindle

Good morning Birdland, The Orioles’ search for another rotation upgrade probably feels a lot like going to the grocery store ahead of the big snow storm about to tear through half the country. Many of the shelves are barren. If you poke around, you can probably find that last gallon of milk or loaf of […]

Purple Row After Dark: It’s Rockies Fest Eve!

Rockies Fest is always great, but it’s especially notable in 2026 given the significant front office and coaching changes the Colorado Rockies have made. Still, it’s great to be at Coors Field (even though it’s extraordinarily cold out!), eat some ballpark food, and hang out with other fans and players. Just to get everyone in […]

Is the Joon Lee report for real?

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ signing of Kyle Tucker for four years, $240 million caused an uproar in baseball last week. The outrageous overpay triggered many around the game to say enough is enough. With the coming end to the current Collective Bargaining Agreement between MLB and the MLBPA, negotiations for a new agreement will probably […]

As spring training draws ever nearer, the Mariners have again fortified the group of arms they’ll bring to camp (known around here as The Pitching Pile), acquiring RHP Cooper Criswell from the Mets for cash. Long-tenured sixth (or seventh or eighth) starter Jhonthan Díaz was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Criswell, 29, was […]
