The Phillies didn’t sign Trea Turner because they thought he was a great defender at shortstop. They mostly wanted his batting-title winning righthanded bat at the top of the lineup. However, they likely expected him to provide at least solid defense at the position. But over the first two years with the team, his defense […]
Quick turn around for our boys as they go from ending last night’s game around 9 P.M. to first pitch today at 11:05 A.M. Ready for another exhibition contest for your Saturday morning?

We’re just days away from the season starting for real, and that can make the remaining Grapefruit League showdowns feel kind of underwhelming. For today at least, the big hook is the starting pitching matchup, with one of the game’s most reliable workhorses facing one of its bright up-and-comers, as the Yankees travel down to […]
ST. LOUIS — It happened again. Mizzou basketball was invited to the Big Dance, but once more, it only made a brief appearance before leaving, falling to No. 7 Miami (Fla.) 80-66 in the Round of 64. Since 2010, the Tigers have made the NCAA Tournament nine times. They have two wins to show for […]
The moment that news broke late Friday afternoon that the Yankees would be optioning Jasson Domínguez to Triple-A, it seemed like a cinch that big-league veteran Randal Grichuk would make their Opening Day roster. Although he arrived to camp as a late-signing non-roster invitee and manager Aaron Boone tried to make it sound like it […]
For this week’s Reacts poll, we asked who y’all expected to be the Rays closer in 2026, and the majority said… NOBODY! Very few seemed to agree with my assessment that Baker is in line for the starring role this season, but I’m excited to see what the Rays pitching lab might unlock there. As […]

The Braves have one of their final tune-ups of spring against the Red Sox and they are facing Garrett Crochet, who has had a fairly unimpressive spring. Still, the star pitcher who the Braves reportedly were interested in trading for should be a good test for the Braves’ bats. You can see the lineups here […]

There are multiple former […]

When the Mets signed Jorge Polanco to a two-year, $40 million contract to be their first baseman just days after Pete Alonso got five years from the Baltimore Orioles, it was, to put it lightly, a surprise. Polanco has been a good offensive player for a number of years, with a standout 2025 for the […]
I have a busy Saturday, in front of leaving for Japan on Sunday, so getting this together Friday night. The Jays are in Bradenton, Florida, which is a very pretty town.

In 2022, the “It’s not my Moneyball” series was created in response to the lockout imposed by the owners that disrupted Spring Training and arguably cost Clayton Kershaw a perfect game in Minneapolis (I had fun).
