Brooks Raley had a 2024 season to forget. The veteran lefty performed well in eight games for the Mets that season, not allowing a single earned run in seven innings, but an elbow injury forced him to undergo Tommy John surgery, ending his season in late May. He was a free agent after the season, […]

The Yankees’ “Plan B” after losing Juan Soto in December 2024 will be talked about for years to come. After failing to match the near-$800 million commitment from the Mets, the Yankees pivoted to sign the likes of Paul Goldschmidt and Max Fried, trade for Cody Bellinger in an effective salary dump, and package Caleb […]
I want Brebbia back, Brebbia back, Brebbia back pleeeeease. Preferably without barbecue sauce. John Brebbia holds a special place in my heart, which probably seems weird in regard to a fiery-ish red-bearded reliever. I started in a sim league back in 2018, and in a nice turn of fate, my team was becoming good. I […]
The 2025 baseball season will officially end tonight! With the improbable, Dodger-centric finish to Game 6, the series is knotted up at three apiece, which means this evening’s contest will be the final game of a very interesting ‘25 campaign. It’s the first Game 7 since 2019, a rare taste of November baseball, and a […]
In this video interview with trainer Stephen ‘Breadman’ Edwards he reveals that he’s officially split with Caleb Plant over the summer, following Plant’s loss to Armando Resendiz.

Until this week, it was unknown if 3B/1B Kazuma Okamoto would even be available for MLB teams. The Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball are known for refusing to post their star players, so if Okamoto wanted to play stateside, he’d naturally become an international free agent in another year’s time. Despite an injury-shortened season […]
In the 2003 Michael Lewis book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning An Unfair Game," the Oakland A's acquired David Justice. Justice was a two-time 40-home run player who gave the Athletics what hockey men call Rings in the Room, but that's not nearly why the A's targeted the 36-year-old for the 2002 seas...

When the Oilers and Rangers met up on October 14th, Edmonton grinded out a 2-0 win on the back of a Stuart Skinner shutout. It was one of those games where the boys needed their goalie to steal one, and that’s exactly what happened. So, with New York in town for the rematch on Thursday…
Mike Maddux, the Texas Rangers’ pitching coach for the past three seasons, is leaving the Rangers to join the Anaheim Angels, per multiple reports.

The 49ers are aiming to bounce back from a hugely underwhelming Week 8 display when they face the New York Giants on the road. San Francisco is favored to improve to 6-2, but victory is far from a given for the 49ers considering their injuries and the issues that are afflicting them on both sides […]
How you view Francisco Alvarez’s 2025 may say a lot about how you view life. If you want to look at it as a glass half full situation, he had his best offensive season by a mile, and after his demotion to Triple-A in late June and his subsequent promotion back to the Majors in […]
New Nationals skipper Blake Butera, as noted by many, does not have much professional playing experience, spending just 2 seasons in the minor leagues for the Rays before calling it quits, peaking at the Low A level. Before that, he spent 4 years playing collegiate ball at Boston College, where he was a spark-plug up […]

This week’s poll asked an overly simplistic question. Forget nuance, I wanted a clear direction. Should the Rays operate as usual to build for 2026, or try something new: Spending Money. Here’s what y’all had to say: The Tampa Bay Rays have long operated as baseball’s perennial underdog, trading stars like David Price, Blake Snell, […]
As the World Series rolls on, the Toronto Blue Jays represent an interesting mirror-image of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Both teams, renowned for their defense and plate-approaches, are […]

At the beginning of the week, the Dodgers were looking to take control of a World Series tied at one game apiece. What followed was a marathon game that will likely be lost to the sands of time due to the Dodgers picking the most inopportune moment to play their worst ball of the year. […]
Good morning, LSB. Not much out there in the way of Rangers news this morning, but today could be the last day of the 2025 season as the Blue Jays look to close out the Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw had a nice moment with family after Wednesday’s game saying goodbye to Dodger Stadium. Fangraphs has a […]
