Cody Bellinger might not have the most impressive underlying hitting metrics in baseball.

This kinda was inspired by samath’s comment, saying that baseball has never been more popular. That seemed a stretch: but like defensive metrics, it turns out that the truth of the statement depends on how you measure it.

Logan Evans’ future depends on two numbers from his rookie season: That .493 difference was the largest such split in 2025 and one of the 20 largest splits in MLB history.

Among all the offseason free agent possibilities, this one seemed like the surest bet to play out eventually: Cody Bellinger's deal with the Yankees is for five years and $162.5 million, sources tell ESPN. There are opt-outs after the second and third season, a $20M signing bonus...

As soon as outfielder Cody Bellinger decided to exercise his opt-out in early November and hit free agency again this offseason, it seemed like he and the Yankees would find their way back to each other.

According to Francys Romero , the Chicago Cubs are signing another reclamation pitcher, bringing in righty Yacksel Rios on a minor league deal. The 32-year-old reliever spent parts of the 2017-21, and 2023 seasons in the big leagues, pitching for the Phillies, Pirates, Mariners, Red Sox, and A’s, flashing big stuff without much in the way of results (6.32 career ERA, 5.61 career FIP, but only 98.1 big league innings).

With the Toronto Blue Jays reportedly not that interested in pursuing free agent outfielder Cody Bellinger, it’s looking more and more likely that the only true threat to ‘steal’ the player away from the New York Yankees is, well, the Mets.

According to family lore, the first team I ever rooted for was the St. Louis Cardinals, the football version. See, I entered this crazy world on a Sunday around 11 a.m. back when the Cardinals still played in Missouri, and about an hour later, my parents and I—well, I’m guessing just my father—turned on the […]
