November 4: Mariners exercise club option on closer Andrés Muñoz. Mariners decline mutual option on catcher Mitch Garver, who is now a free agent along with Josh Naylor, Eugenio Suárez, Luke Jackson and […]
The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Arizona Cardinals. At just about no point in the game on Monday night were the Cowboys competitive. All the worst fears and speculations were realized in the manners in which we predicted in our worst thoughts and the cruelest part of it all is that none of us are […]
With the closure of the World Series and free agency officially open, we are now into the 2025-2026 MLB off-season. This will potentially be the last “normal” off-season before a looming lockout/labor stoppage, especially given the renewed discussion of a salary cap after the Dodgers’ repeat World Series title. The off-season isn’t my favorite time […]

How was he acquired? The Braves signed Rayven Antonio for just $10k as an international free agent in the same 2023 class where they landed Luis Guanipa. Antonio was a bit of a lottery ticket with some upside, but also a lot of development needed. What were the 2025 expectations? There were none. After signing […]
Thanks to the needs in the rotation, the bigger names at play there, and the nature of Chicago Cubs bullpen construction (read: less sexy), I have neglected to lay out explicitly the bullpen situation for the Cubs entering this offseason. Now that Andrew Kittredge has been sent back to the Orioles , the following Cubs relievers who threw 20+ innings in 2025 are still under team control: Daniel Palencia Porter Hodge End of list. It’s one thing to say that the Cubs always fin...
As we sit here in early November with the last vestige of the 2025 Major League Baseball season still fresh in our minds, it’s somewhat hard to believe that in under 100 days, pitchers and catchers will report to Florida and Arizona for the beginning of 2026 spring training. The MLB season is indeed long, […]
It has certainly been a strange few days for the Dallas Cowboys. Coming off the 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, it felt like the season was over. And it may still be. But Jerry Jones decided to take one last throw of the dice in 2025 and trade for Logan Wilson, and more importantly, […]
The Atlanta Braves may have promoted from within when it comes to new manager Walt Weiss but they’re letting the new skipper make his own decisions when it comes to filling out the coaching staff. Longtime Braves pitching coach Rick Kranitz is officially on the outs and he has been replaced by former Mets pitching […]
Jarren Duran and the Red Sox have negotiated a new contract for the 2026 season, agreeing to a deal worth $7.7 million with an additional $75,000 that can be earned via incentives. Duran was not a free agent, of course; we’re talking about arbitration negotiations here. And, interestingly, the Sox had an $8 million option […]

The San Francisco 49ers are ready for the stretch run, sporting a 6-3 record and a 3-0 record in the NFC West. Although Mykel Williams is done for the season, the 49ers convincingly handled the New York Giants in New Jersey on Sunday afternoon. The question becomes: Are the 49ers getting offensive reinforcements, and will […]
How was he acquired? The Braves drafted Patrick Clohisy in the 11th round of the 2024 MLB Draft out of Saint Louis. The speedy outfielder, who began his college career at Purdue hit .345 with a .454 on base percentage for his college career, drafted for his ability to make contact. What were the 2025 […]
Overview Introduction Hey…coincidence is my middle name. Let me explain. These end-of-season-player-reviews are normally my kind of articles. I sign myself up for a bunch load of players we hardly knew and who, normally, are not given much love by most of us. Except for me. I love writing about the nobodies, and try to […]

We’d be remiss if we didn’t start today with an acknowledgement of what transpired in the city last night. Seeing UPS planes on a daily basis and taking pride in a global shipping company residing in our city is in the DNA of each and every Louisvillian. Virtually everyone in this city has spent time […]
Luis Robert Jr., you are still a South SiderThe White Sox are officially rolling the dice by exercising the $20 million club option on Luis Robert Jr. for the 2026 season. The team chose this over a $2 million buyout despite his struggles and an injury history that has seen him play in only 210 […]

Mentions of José Caballero as a player often get tagged with “someone you love to play with and hate to play against.” He’s a bit of a pest in that he’s fast on the basepaths, leading MLB in stolen bases in 2025. He’s also versatile and can play several different positions in the field. He’s […]
