There are some players that just look the part. Dylan Crews firmly falls into that category. Despite not producing in his first year and change in the MLB, I still have a lot of faith in him. Some of that may be irrational, but Crews just looks like he should be a really good player. […]

Unless you are new, you know the drill by now. But for those who actually keep track of the annual update, when not writing long-form essays, I travel the world following the Dodgers around. I am up to two continents and three countries, which was just my 2025. In my lifetime, I have attended 126 […]

Teams rebuild all the time. If you aren't blessed with an owner willing to spend your team cycles through times when they spend more and times when they spend less based on the talent they have. What you don't do is rebuild from a rebuild. This is what the Nats are doing and it means one simple thing : The Nats screwed up. So the question is where and when and like many things that are wrong it's not just one moment, but a series of bad decisions and bad luck that lead them to this...

Some baseball players are memorable for having long and successful careers. Some are memorable for coming up with a huge play or hit in a big moment. Some are memorable for the wrong reasons, like making a mistake in a big moment or for some other controversial reason. Then, there are some who are memorable […]

In the early days of the off-season, the Mets signed Joe Jacques to a minor league deal. The left-handed side-armer has had a couple cups of coffee with the Red Sox and the Diamondbacks, but did not pitch in the majors in 2025. This is clearly a depth signing for the Mets, as there’s not […]

Truck Day is happening later this week, and the Royals still seem to be short of what many fans hoped they’d accomplish this offseason. For those uninitiated, Truck Day is when the team loads up most of the equipment it will need for Spring Training into a truck and begins driving it from Kansas City […]

18. McCade Brown (275 points, 18 ballots) Brown is what I’d call the first consensus PuRP on this list — he was on all but one ballot and he received five top-ten votes, including mine (I ranked him seventh as a 45 FV player who should be a big league contributor in 2026). The 6’6”, […]

Over the last couple of years, a number of MLB teams have had their RSN deals either end or collapse, and their TV rights have reverted to the league. Prior to 2026, the Padres, Diamondbacks, Rockies, Guardians, Twins and Mariners had their TV rights assigned to MLB Local Media, the league’s production arm for local […]

After the Naylor signing at the very outset of free agency, the Mariners went uncomfortably quiet until the buzzer-beater Brendan Donovan deal yesterday. While we’ll get into more specific breakdowns of the AL West rosters over spring training, we were curious: with this latest move, how do you feel about the Mariners lineup (or team […]

Good morning! Yet another infield option is off the board, as the Seattle Mariners acquired All-Star Brendan Donavan in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday. Perhaps you’re still holding out hope for an Isaac Paredes deal, but it’s looking increasingly likely that the Red Sox will head into Opening Day with Marcelo Mayer […]

As Danny Russell reported, the Rays have traded for infielder Ben Williamson. Williamson is known for his plus plus defense, but he’s struggled to translate his college and minor league hitting success to the majors. The Mariners promoted Williamson early in 2025, but sent him back to Triple A Tacoma to work on his hitting. […]

Quickly piggybacking on yesterday’s news, the question is simple. What’s your excitement level? In theory, it doesn’t have to be very different. MLB.tv is still MLB.tv for out-of-market folks like me, though this may offer you a cheaper monthly option than A) buying all teams through MLB.tv or B) whatever FanDuel direct-to-consumer option previously existed, […]

Harper. Schwarber. Realmuto. Turner. Wheeler. The Phillies have some of the biggest names and best players in baseball today — at least, on paper. The five core names on this roster have been together for a few years now, and will mostly be together for the next few years as well. We’ve seen what they’re […]
