Since we just looked at what teams would stand to receive in draft compensation if they lost a free agent who rejected a qualifying offer, now it’s time to explore what each team would have to give up in order to sign a QO-rejecting free agent. To recap the mechanics: if a free agent has…
After a day entirely free of post-season baseball, courtesy of the terminally-inept Milwaukee Brewers, we get back on track with Game #6 in the American League Championship Series. This has now gone back up to Canada, with the Blue Jays hoping to stave off elimination, and trigger a winner-takes-all Game 7 tomorrow night. TBS must […]

The Green Bay Packers did not lead until two minutes were remaining in the game on Sunday, but they did just enough in the second half — and got a few big plays from their recently-embattled defense — to emerge victorious in their matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Josh Jacobs scored the go-ahead touchdown with […]
Who knows man. We can have a conversation about the quarterbacks when a quarterback not named Kyler Murray wins a game. That’s not to say Jacoby Brissett was the issue, he’s absolutely not. But we need to understand that under Jonathan Gannon the Arizona Cardinals are 1-10 without Kyler Murray. So, it’s less about Murray […]

We know the Los Angeles Dodgers are headed back to the World Series on the NL side after holding the Milwaukee Brewers to just four runs and 14 hits in four games. And, of course, that was punctuated by Shohei Ohtani’s once-in-a-lifetime 10-strikeout/three-homer game on Friday night to punch their ticket. Geno Suárez also hit […]

2025 stats: 65.2 IP, 21 G (10 GS), 4.80 ERA / 4.96 FIP, 1.492 WHIP, 22.8 K%, 12.4 BB%, 0.0 fWAR Some of us will spend most of this offseason wondering what happened to Hayden Birdsong. It’s not just that the 6’4” 23-year old who captured hearts and minds last season only to lay a […]
It is… close? The Arizona Cardinals offense looks fine but I guess between playing a good defense and having a backup quarterback it is pretty good to be winning 13-6 at halftime. The run game continues to be an issue, while the passing attack is getting yards when it matters. I got a text from […]
Being at the helm of a Major League Baseball franchise for an eternity is a special honor for an exclusive group of team executives. The average lifespan for a front office member is five-and-a-half years. A.J. Preller has outlasted some of the top business leaders in the United States, as he completed his 11th season […]
The qualifying offer is one of the key mechanisms of free agent season, as teams have until five days after the end of the World Series to decide whether or not to issue the one-year contract (this winter worth $22.025MM) to eligible free agents. If a player has played with his team throughout the entire…
It is an 8:00 Easter start time. Just win Jays. The good news is George Springer is playing. Hopefully he’ll be able to swing the bat and run the bases. I wouldn’t look for any stolen bases. But a home run or two would be a good thing. Tonight’s lineup: And, of course, Trey Yesavage […]
I’ve been thinking about how to start this article for two days, but all of my thoughts can succinctly be distilled into two words. That sucked. The 2025 regular season was filled with excitement and hope that the Brewers would finally return to the World Series for the first time since 1982. Those aspirations were […]

It’s game time once again for the Green Bay Packers. The 3-1-1 Packers are in the Phoenix area today, on their longest road trip of the 2025 regular season as they take on the 2-4 Arizona Cardinals.

It was less than a year ago that the Cardinals made the decision to move three-time All-Star Willson Contreras to first base after the veteran slugger indicated he wasn’t interested in waiving his no-trade clause to leave St. Louis ahead of their impending rebuild. That decision was intended to open up the catcher position so…
It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This past week was the first full week that the Yankees have been home, after their elimination in the ALDS more than a week and a half ago. Just as we have here at Pinstripe Alley, the players […]
