Here are three things we’ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world headed into the weekend: 1. NLCS nearing conclusion? The Dodgers won their first home game of the NLCS last night, giving them a 3-0 lead over the Brewers that’s begun to look insurmountable. Milwaukee will now enter tonight fighting for their…

After the Edmonton Oilers eked out a Tuesday night win over the New York Rangers on the back of a tremendous performance from Stuart Skinner, the team knew there were some things to address. They were sloppy early, turned over far too many pucks, and could’ve let the game slip away if not for their…
October 17th: Evan Petzold of The Detroit Free Press reports that Detroit’s offer after 2024 was for four years and less than $100MM. October 16th: The Tigers are now down to their final season of control over the American League’s best pitcher. Tarik Skubal is entering his last year of arbitration and trending towards the…
Take a trip back through the time with me, if you will, to May 21, 2022. That was the day that Adley Rutschman made his major league debut — and the fortunes of the Baltimore Orioles were forever changed. It had been a long, slow, painful rebuild for the Orioles, who at that point were […]
In case you weren’t aware, it was reported earlier this week that the Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman would indeed be opting out of the remaining two years on his contract with Boston and will enter free agency. It was not really an unexpected move, as Bregman sat around all of last offseason looking […]
By now, everyone knows what just took place with former Cardinals manager Mike Shildt in San Diego and how it mirrors what led to him being fired in 2021. I have to say it’s nice to finally have some answers, but I don’t think I’m alone in that my opinion on the matter has changed. […]
It wasn’t all that long ago when Red Sox fans were dreaming of Vlad Guerrero, Jr. hitting after Rafael Devers in the lineup, when Red Sox Twitter was awash in photoshops of Vladdy, Raffy, and Juan Soto (Juanny?) all wearing the red ‘B’. Alas, that’s not what fate (or Fenway Sports Group) had in store […]

Whoever it ends up being […]
Jon Heyman of the New York Post began stirring up the offseason pot on Thursday with a report claiming that the Tigers and star pitcher were $250M apart in extension talks. While no one doubts Heyman’s assertion that agent Scott Boras wants a contract in the $400-420M range, his claim that the Tigers offered less […]
Meet the Mets Mets prospect Nick Morabito spoke about his experience thus far in the Arizona Fall League and his approach at the plate. Abbey Mastracco wrote about some things the Mets might be able to learn from the four teams still alive in the playoffs. The Mets posted in support of Spirit Day, the […]
Under Mike Elias, the Orioles are yet to invest major assets into big league pitching. Yes, they made the trade for Corbin Burnes heading into 2024, and they have ponied up some cash for one-year free agent deals, but those are relatively low stakes in the modern game. Pair that with a draft strategy that […]
All examples of famous robots. Joining that list in 2026 will be Major League Baseball’s Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System (ABS), pejoratively known as “robot umps”. Site-runner Ben already dove into the ABS details a number of weeks ago so I won’t rehash that, other than to say it is interesting that only batters, pitchers, or […]

Back in February, Krajewski was hired as the performance coach for the High-A Spokane Indians. Upon accepting the job, she became the first woman coach […]
Craig Breslow is probably riding high right now. The Red Sox made the playoffs. Garrett Crochett looked excellent. The lineup needed Roman Anthony. Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman looked good – as did some of the other bullpen members. Over the Monster has, to various degrees, called this season a qualified success. But more needs […]
Happy Friday, Camden Chatters! It’s the start of the weekend and it’s going to be lovely fall weather. Hopefully you can get out there and enjoy it.

The Maple Leafs and Rangers recorded just four shot attempts each at five-on-five in the first period of this game, with special teams time taking up nearly half the period.
