To the surprise of many in baseball, Luis Severino left New York, where he’d pitched for both the Yankees and Mets, and signed a three-year, $67 million deal with the Athletics before the 2025 season.

The […]

The Orioles traded Andrew Kittredge to the Cubs at the trade deadline last July. Baltimore received a 17-year-old shortstop prospect, and Chicago gained a veteran reliever with a club option for 2026. The Cubs could have kept Kittredge around for the upcoming season, but Baltimore wanted him back. The Orioles reacquired the 35-year-old by sending […]

With three rotation holes to fill, the San Diego Padres have no doubt been monitoring the dollars that have been given out to starting pitchers to this point in free agency. The contracts imply that addressing the pitching needs through free agency may not be attainable for San Diego from a monetary standpoint. Thomas Conroy […]

Good morning! The Red Sox made a trade last night. And, regardless of whether you think it’s a good trade (Matt makes a pretty strong argument that it is) it’s definitely a curious trade, because Johan Oviedo certainly seems to fit the profile of one of those mid-rotation starters that Craig Breslow had said the […]

The cold certainly tests your commitment to taking a walk outside every day, no matter what. Matthew Boyd, in addition to announcing his spot on Team USA , talked on Foul Territory about what happened in Game One of the NLDS, and how, from his perspective, it had nothing to do with pitching on short rest or anything like that: Matthew Boyd says his rough outing in Game 1 of the NLDS had nothing to do with short rest.

It’s no secret that the 2025 Orioles offense underperformed. For all the talent on the roster, which helped the team win 192 games from 2023-24, things did not gel. None of us knows exactly why both the vibes and the performance were lackluster, but I know one thing that would help: Kyle Schwarber. Look, I’m […]

From George Springer to Carlos Correa to Yordan Alvarez, those arrivals played a major role in defining the organization’s golden era. While 2025 didn’t see that same level of […]

The Los Angeles Rams are coming off a tough loss, but have a chance to rebound against the slumping Arizona Cardinals this weekend. Arizona is already eliminated from playoff contention and can play spoiler in Week 14, but don’t count on them to come through when it matters, given their overall body of work this […]

We saw in our previous piece that the Astros stood in 19th in MLB with a .651 team BPO. For those that haven’t read the first piece, we noted that bases per out is a more comprehensive way of looking at offense and pitching because it includes a base running element. Naturally, most catchers do […]

During the 2015 season, the Minnesota Twins underwent a youth movement. Exciting prospects such as Miguel Sano, Byron Buxton, & Eddie Rosario all received big league call-ups and—combined with a now-established Brian Dozier superstardom—helped the ’15 squad compete for the postseason right down to the wire. With the next wave of success seemingly positioned to […]

Last year, the Yankees were theoretically in the market for some sort of infielder. It became pretty clear early on that they were likely going to let Gleyber Torres go. That would open second base for them to move Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to his more natural position, while freeing up third base. In the […]
