If anyone stepped into the Major League Baseball scene for the first time and hit just .184/.231/.263 with 49 strikeouts in 122 PA, you’d have some initial concerns. Maybe they’re just getting their feet wet. Maybe they’re still young enough to figure it out. It’s rough out there at first, after all. If they backed […]
There has been some discussion in the comments for the past week-plus about who folks were rooting for in the ALCS. In advance of tonight’s Game 7, I figured I would do a poll and ask…who are you pulling for to advance to the World Series? Cast your vote below…
LOS ANGELES — Kiké Hernández is right in the middle of things with the Dodgers in October again, which has come to be expected at this point. Hernández didn’t have a hit in the last two games against the Brewers, but is still hitting .306/.375/.417 with four doubles and seven runs scored in 10 games […]
Just when we thought we figured out who Nasim Nunez was, he threw us a curveball. The light hitting shortstop was a heavy hitter in September, slugging four home runs in what was a massive month for him. Was that a fluke, or will we see more power from the slick 5’8 shortstop? That is […]
It’s the Monday Crawfish Boil! Houston Astros News Injuries and roster moves A look at second base in 2026 Astros sign Nate Pearson Wohlgemuth making a name for himself in AFL Two Astros land on the list for Gold Glove finalist Maldy calls it quits (NYT) AL West News M’s can’t finish off the Jays […]
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell One of the most valuable players on the 2025 Red Sox was, for two months, one of the worst players in baseball. But at least he was playing baseball at all. The Good Trevor Story was saved by money. Amidst a Red Sox tenure that had been defined almost entirely […]
From bad to worse. Any hope the Edmonton Oilers had in salvaging their five-game eastern road trip blew up in their face Sunday afternoon, losing 4-2 to the Detroit Red Wings. While the team secured an ugly 2-0 shutout victory over the New York Rangers to kick things off, they put up a stinker against…
I’ve written on this topic previously, but now I’ve got some new information that I wanted to pass along to you. As you know if you attend Cubs games when there are promotional gate giveaways, the team limits those to the first 10,000 (or “up to” that number, as they generally say) who come to […]
Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]
In Mariners news… Around the league…
Happy Monday everyone! We got an epic evening ahead of us, baseball fans. An epic Game 7. Win or go home. A ticket to the Fall Classic on the line. The stakes don’t get much higher than this. The Toronto Blue Jays lost the first two games of the series (at home!) but rallied back […]
The Mets used 66 players in 2025, with 46 of those appearing on a pitching mound at some point in their 162 games. While some 2025 performances are not soon to be forgotten (Juan Soto’s 43 home runs, Nolan McLean’s phenomenal second half), there are a fair number of players who, if you haven’t already […]
On the MLB Trade Rumors podcast, we regularly answer questions from our readers and listeners. With the next episode set for Wednesday, we’re looking for MLBTR’s audience to submit their questions and we’ll pick a few to answer. The 2025 regular season is now over and the playoffs are in full swing. Do you have…

As the playoffs continue, here are three things we’ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today: 1. ALCS Game 7 After a resounding win over the Mariners in Game 6 of the ALCS last night, the Blue Jays have managed to force a Game 7 to determine who will…
Maybe it wasn’t a work of art, but the Chicago Bears found a way to win (by multiple scores) a total trap game in nasty conditions. That’s four straight wins for the first time in seven years. A random combination thought about the Cubs’ bullpen group that I want to keep in mind for the offseason. For the last several years running, two things have been true every single year. First, the Cubs find reclamation relievers who wind up being big contributors. Second, younger/newer guys who w...
Guerrero, Barger homer, Yesavage deals as Blue Jays force Game 7. The post MLB Playoffs News & Moments: League Championship Series 10/20/2025 appeared first on Pitcher List .
Today’s question of the day is pretty simple: who wins tonight? The Mariners had a chance to move on to the World Series last night, but they started swinging at everything under God’s blue sky. Trey Yesavage was very good in his start, but the Mariners had him on the ropes a few times by […]
Good morning. Evan Grant writes that in an unsuccessful season, one of the successes was that people could actually watch the team for the first time in years. Jeff Wilson looks at potential catcher trade candidates should the Rangers move on from Jonah Heim this winter. At MLB Trade Rumors, Mark Polishuk checks out the […]
No Detroit Tiger broke out on the national stage this postseason as much as their closer, Will Vest. Tarik Skubal is a known star after his dominant, Cy Young-winning 2024 campaign, Kerry Carpenter’s ascent thanks in part to Aaron Judge’s hitting coach has been well covered, and everyone knew Javy Baez already. Meanwhile, the “pitching […]
Imagine if, back in March, someone told you that Dean Kremer would spend most of the season as the #1 or #2 starting pitcher for the Orioles. You would know that if this person’s prediction was going to prove true, things would either have to go very, very well for Kremer himself, or very, very […]
2025 stats: 81 IP, 54 G, 4.00 ERA, 3.70 FIP, 1.33 WHIP, 6.78 K/9, 2.78 BB/9, 0.4 fWAR In 2024, the 29-year old right-hander’s debut in the big leagues was the feel-good story of the year. He had spent a decade on a very long-and-winding road with no promise it would guide him anywhere. Still […]

With those winning picks YankeeJacket is now at 58 correct picks on the year putting him only 1 spot behind the leading picker of the year donkeygoatrunner. Congrats YankeeJacket! The race for top picker of […]
Prior to the start of each season, the Draysbay community takes part in an excercise in which the top prospects in the Tampa Bay Rays system are ranked by popular vote. This season, the Draysbay community ranked the top 25 prospects in the Rays system with several others receiving votes but just falling shy of […]
Dave Collins turns 73 today. Unfortunately, we don’t have a picture of him in a Jays jersey. Dave (they called him Davey a lot back then. I think if I were a Dave, I’d punch anyone who called me Davey) was with the Blue Jays for two seasons of a 16-year MLB career. How we […]
