It happens every couple of years. It’s like the Olympics, but it involves baseball. Although the Olympics sometimes have baseball. So disregard that.

These days, whenever a young Japanese player is posted to come to MLB, the assumption is that he will join the Dodgers. And why not? The Dodgers are good every single year. They have more money than they can spend. They’re in a somewhat Japanese-friendly time zone. And they have a sizeable Japanese contingent already […]

The Detroit Tigers, undeniably, need pitching help. Their starting rotation is Tarik Skubal and then a cluster of arms you can probably call better than average as a group, but each comes with distinct question marks.
