The Milwaukee Brewers play big. The zythophilian juggernauts of the NL Central have the same number of division titles as the Dodgers over the past half decade. They’ve been punching down on the incompetent and/or uncompetitive clubs in their division, while managing to outmaneuver the Chicago Cubs, and pushing the St. Louis Cardinals into their […]

Righty Chase Petty has the stuff to potentially end up #1 on this list at some point. He also had a poor enough 2025 season that a repeat of said production could see him off this list altogether by 2027. Here’s hoping the uber-talented starter figured it out over the winter and shows up to […]

It didn’t take long for the Chicago White Sox to use their Luis Robert Jr. savings, as they’re bringing in the guy who might be the last big-ish name reliever on the free agent market. Seranthony Dominguez, who has long been an effective reliever, is coming off a particularly strong age-30 season in 2025, and gets paid VERY handsomely as a result: Right-handed reliever Seranthony Domínguez and the Chicago White Sox are in agreement on a two-year, $20 million contract, sources tell ES...

There was plenty of speculation – and a couple rumors – earlier this offseason that the Washington Nationals, setting about a rebuild under a new front office, were making shortstop C.J. Abrams available in trade talks, in addition to lefty MacKenzie Gore. The chatter there didn’t really seem to go anywhere, and with the market focus shifting to free agents like Alex Bregman and Bo Bichette, it’s been a while since Abrams came up. Now, with Gore suddenly traded to the Rangers, the qu...

We made it to another Friday. I had my birthday yesterday and didn’t really do all that much differently than a normal Thursday, which made it a nice day. I had a cardio tennis class, which is just a run-yourself-into-the-ground-for-an-hour thing, and squash last night, which, again, is run-yourself-into-the-ground. And there were calls from our […]

When it comes to all-time baseball records, there are some that were set in a different era and will never be approached—such as the 59 wins Old Hoss Radbourn compiled in 1884. The Colorado Rockies won only 43 games last summer. Ouch. Cy Young’s 511 career wins and 749 complete games also fall into this […]

31-year-old Carson Franklin Kelly had a real nice year in 2025, registering 3.6 bWAR and a slash line of .249/.333/.428 with 17 home runs and 50 RBI in 421 plate appearances. Not too shabby.

There is one player on the New York Rangers who is seemingly good as gone, and that's Artemi Panarin. While he has control over where he goes and will very likely be choosing a team with a chance to hoist the Stanley Cup, it will also likely reduce his return because of this. Panarin is in the final year of his deal at $11.6 million AAV and has 19 goals and 56 points in 50 games. The 34-year-old has been one of the best offensive players over the last decade and hasn't been able to win the Cup...
