After a 23-17 double-overtime win at Auburn last Saturday night, the Missouri Tigers are officially bowl eligible. In his first six seasons, head coach Eli Drinkwitz has had a bowl eligible record every year leading the Tigers. Though at 6-1 and ranked No. 15 in the latest AP Top 25 poll — Mizzou has their […]
I was sure Kevin Gausman would start game one, but I was wrong. Trey Yesavage is getting tomorrow’s start. He’ll be the second youngest pitcher ever to start a game one. Ralph Branca, who started for the Dodgers way back in 1947 was the youngest, 21 and 267 days. Right now, one of my kids […]
Tonight is officially listed as a home game for Edmonton, but it feels like part of an eight-game road trip. The Oilers played the Rangers, Islanders, Devils, Red Wings, and Senators on the road, and they host the Canadiens tonight before playing in Seattle and Vancouver this coming Saturday and Sunday. It’s an odd one-game…
There is no longer an undefeated team in the state of Florida as Miami fell from the ranks with a 24-21 defeat at the hands of Louisville. It was an eventful week in the state as the University of Florida fired head coach Billy Napier, and Florida State gave Mike Norvell the dreaded vote of […]
Free agency will begin shortly after the World Series ends, so clearly, we are getting close to that, and with that adjustments in many teams’ 40-man rosters. I thought it would be interesting to look at the Cubs’ 40-man roster and how it will shape up after free agents are deleted. Here is the 40-man […]
Here’s something you might not be aware of: the Red Sox absolutely own the third base Silver Slugger award. Of the 45 trophies given out at that position, 11 of them have gone to Red Sox third baseman. This has been thanks mostly to Wade Boggs, who won the award six times with the Sox. […]
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Thursday! We apologize for the delay for today’s Moose Tracks. In Mariners news: Around the league:
Remember all of those MacKenzie Gore trade rumors at the deadline, well they are back as we approach the offseason. In the last 24 hours, we have gotten even more smoke about the Nationals trading their 26 year old ace. The Nats were close to trading Gore at the deadline, but did not pull the […]
The Silver Slugger finalists across baseball were revealed on Thursday morning and three Athletics saw their names among the contenders for the prestigious award: None of these are a surprise to A’s fans. The trio were the heart of the Athletics order and look like they will be again next year. All three were near-locks […]
In case you missed it, we here at TGP have officially started our offseason series where we take a look back at every player who suited up for the Phillies during the season. The series kicked off with a look at one of the Phillies biggest questions of the offseason in J.T. Realmuto. So, now […]
My first conscious memory of the Silver Slugger award was opening a pack of Upper Deck baseball cards and pulling out a Daryl Strawberry card (when he was on the Dodgers) with a Silver Slugger award logo in the corner. I asked my dad, “What’s a Silver Slugger?” and he probably said something like “oh […]
On October 22nd in 1997, Wayne Gretzky's wife Janet Jones was bloodied and knocked unconscious when a heavy hit by New York Rangers defenseman Ulf Samuelsson on Chicago Blackhawks forward Sergei Krivokrasov dislodged a large pane of plexi-glass striking the 36 year old actress. Jones was treated by team doctors before being carried out of Madison Square Garden on a stretcher and transported by
I know, I know, the Brewers aren’t in the World Series. It’s unfortunate. Still, it will be an interesting series (with potential collective bargaining ramifications!) as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays take the field. Check out some of the connections these teams have to Wisconsin and the Brewers here! The Dodgers are […]
Fifth-round pick Nathan Aspinall is now officially part of the Rangers’ future after signing his entry-level contract following a red-hot start in the OHL.
Awards season is close. The Detroit Tigers already had the likely AL Cy Young award returning to ace left-hander Tarik Skubal. Catcher Dillon Dingler has a solid shot at a Gold Glove. On Thursday, outfielder Riley Greene and utilityman Zach McKinstry were named by Louisville Slugger as the Tigers’ Silver Slugger finalists at their respective […]
Happy Thursday. Tomorrow we has something we haven’t seen for 32 years, the Blue Jays in the World Series. Ben Nicholson-Smith tells us that Bo Bichette has been taking balls at second base. I’ve always thought that second would be his position. But expecting him to learn a new position for the World Series is, […]
1911 News broke early, in the Chicago Tribune, that Nixey Callahan would be returning as White Sox manager in 1912, replacing Hugh Duffy. Owner Charles Comiskey emphasized having a manager in Chicago year-round, to help with spring training arrangements and offseason moves — Callahan was a Chicago resident. (The official announcement was made on October […]
The School: University of Missouri Record: 6-1 (2-1 in the SEC) Ranking: AP #15, Coaches’ Poll #14, and SP+ #8 Mascot: Truman the Tiger, who looks like he might have gotten into some special catnip. Location: Columbia, Missouri. Coach: Eliah Drinkwitz. No, I did not leave out a letter. “Drink” may have the dorkiest headshots […]
The abrupt end of your postseason life leaves little time for teams to formally say goodbye and thank the fans for their support. Instead of preparing for an opponent, the players are clearing out their lockers and getting ready for an unexpected start to the offseason. Dylan Cease is entering the unknown void of baseball […]
Last week, the Pittsburgh Pirates made one of their first additions of the offseason, claiming outfielder Will Robertson off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. INF/OF Ryan Kriedler was designated for assignment to make room for Robertson on the 40-man roster. Robertson was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 4th round of the […]
Four Royals hitters were named finalists for the Silver Slugger Award at their respective positions – catcher Salvador Perez, first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino, shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., and third baseman Maikel Garcia, who was nominated at the utility player position.

On a Wednesday night in Frankfurt filled with positive signs as a Liverpool side that had struggled to start the 2025-26 season—and especially struggled over the past four games, all of which had ended in defeat—one of the best was watching left back Andy Robertson dominating his flank both on and off the ball. One […]
With the 2025 Texas Rangers season having come to an end, we shall be, over the course of the offseason, taking a look at every player who appeared in a major league game for the Texas Rangers in 2025. Today we are looking at first baseman Blaine Crim. The fact that we are writing about […]
Somehow, Edwin Díaz has never finished a season with the Mets with more than 32 saves. Having recently wrapped up his sixth season—and seventh year—with the team, Díaz was utterly dominant, finishing the 2025 campaign with 28 saves as he threw 66.1 innings with a 1.63 ERA. That’s his second-best single season ERA, even in […]
