Last week, Andy McCullough at The Athletic did one of those “if each MLB team could make one Black Friday move” things, and he landed on righty Michael King to the Cubs . Mark Feinsand has done the same kind of exercise at MLB.com , and what do you know, he landed on the same guy to the same team: “Cubs: Michael King, RHP Even with the return of Shota Imanaga via the qualifying offer, the Cubs are in the market for a frontline starter this offseason.

It 2024 CJ Abrams flashed greatness, with a .295 7 homer April and hitting .373 / .464 / .663 in May earning him a trip to the All-Star Game and getting Nats fans excited about his potential. The only problem was... well... he might have been the worst fielding shortstop in baseball in years. The plan for 2025 was to start him at SS and hopefully watch him solidify his position as an MLB offensive star while playing some better defense. This didn't quite happen. His 2025 at the pla...

The free agent market was slow to start this offseason, much as it is every year. Very few splashes came before Thanksgiving, with not very many rumors floating around.

With the top of the free-agent market thinning out and Kansas City once again shopping in the second tier, one name stands out as a realistic fit: Harrison Bader. The 30-year-old outfielder isn’t a franchise-changer, but he checks several boxes the Royals are looking for – elite defense, legitimate speed, and occasional pop to lengthen […]

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Sonny Douglas Gray and, although he was born and raised in suburban Nashville, if you’d listened to his introductory press call yesterday, you would’ve thought he grew up in a triple decker off Dot Ave: What does it mean, in his case, that he’s “more […]
