Chase Petty did not have a good 2025 season. At the big league level, he was roughed up for 14 R (13 ER) in just 6.0 IP, with a trio of long balls yielded – and walked more (8) than he struck out (7). Down at AAA Louisville, he was tagged for 91 R (80 […]

Jake Cronenworth has been talked about as a potential trade piece for the past couple of seasons. He has value in that he can play multiple positions and is steady at the plate. For now, Cronenworth is projected to be the second baseman for the San Diego Padres on opening day although that could change […]

Having lost his starting place to new signing Milos Kerkez over the summer, it has seemed something of a foregone conclusion that Liverpool left back Andy Robertson would move on at the end of the 2025-26 season when the 31-year-old’s contract expires. Now, though, it appears an earlier departure is possible. Though far from certain […]

Last time, we took a look at starting pitcher projections for ERA. We will do the same here for relief pitchers. Obviously, there is a ton to get into here and before we dive in we need to talk about some issues that come up with all pitchers. Certainly, hitting and pitching is partially reliant […]

In 2017, starters averaged five and a half innings per start. Now, there’s no such thing as half an inning, but that’s the beauty of math. That number dipped slightly in 2018, to 5.4 innings per start. Even ignoring 2020, where teams felt more comfortable and/or harried into just getting through the 60-game season, the […]

The Arizona Cardinals were one of 10 NFL franchises that were without a head coach after the 2025 season. The first step after their head coach was fired, was to compile a ledger of qualified candidates. Then, whittle that down to a short list. Next, submit requests to interview to other clubs that have these […]

The Atlanta Braves snuck this through the transaction wire earlier this week, but the team has brought back utility player/pitcher Luke Williams on a minor league deal.

Wednesday was quite a baseball day in New York. The Yankees signed Cody Bellinger back to their squad for $162 million, and the Mets acquired Freddy Peralta from the Brewers in exchange for prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat.

Good morning, baseball fans! With the news earlier this week that (briefly) former San Francisco Giants outfielder Carlos Beltrán will be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame this year, there was unfortunately bad news for another former Giants outfielder. Hunter Pence, the very definition of a Forever Giant, did not receive enough votes to […]

Baseball, in many cases, can serve as a very effective microcosm for the world and the country it inhabits. From social progression, justice, or the dawn of the information age, baseball has often travelled right along with the world surrounding it. Looking back, that means we can find stories that are nearly impossible to imagine […]

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a trend making its way around social media where folks are posting pictures of themselves from 2016 to compare where they are in 2026.

Earlier, I described the various technologies that I’ve found are being used in baseball in general, and mostly, by the Cardinals. As I followed the trail of breadcrumbs around, I began to discover that it wasn’t so much the technology the Cardinals had fallen behind in (yes, there was and still are some deficits there), […]
