Dodgers minor league pitcher Hyun-Seok Jang was dominant in his High-A debut last Thursday for the Great Lakes Loons, and for his efforts the 22-year-old right-hander was named Midwest League pitcher of the week after his very first game at the level. Jang last Thursday allowed only a double and two singles in his six […]
Now that the dust has settled after the MLB trade deadline, the Atlanta Braves must move forward and focus on their schedule ahead, which includes an NL East showdown against the Miami Marlins (on the road) on Tuesday.

With the trade deadline in the past, expect plenty of analysis over the moves that teams did or didn’t make to address roster holes. For the Diamondbacks, their relatively quiet deadline day came and went with the addition of outfielder Lars Nootbaar, but nothing done to upgrade the rotation or bullpen. It wasn’t for lack […]
The San Diego Padres’ Single-A affiliate, the Lake Elsinore Storm, rebounded with a strong week, going 5-1 in their six-game series versus the Stockton Ports while seeing the debut of LHP Adler Cecil into full-season Padres baseball. With his 2024 UCL surgery in the rearview mirror, Cecil spent all of 2025 rehabbing and made his […]
Wait what the hell? The day I signed up to cover links turns out to be the day after the trade deadline? They should really announce the date of the trade deadline in advance to avoid this kind of problem. It was a busy day around the league, though a number of rumored names stayed […]
There was a flurry of activity yesterday, the trading deadline for MLB, and the Phillies were caught up in the maelstrom of it all. Bringing in Luis Arraez and Brooks Raley earlier in the day, followed by , there is a new roster in place that will try and get into October and hopefully, further […]
Good morning! Jake Roy makes a strong case today that the 2026 Red are better today than they were yesterday, and that that should be the key takeaway from the trade deadline. Yesterday, I argued (as I have, many, many times before) that there is far too much emphasis put on future production from prospects, […]
Last week’s Rangers Reacts Survey asked, in light of the (very depressing, in my opinion) Corey Seager trade rumors, whether you thought the Rangers should deal Seager at the trade deadline. The Rangers, obviously, didn’t trade Seager, which makes me happy, but that’s a separate discussion. Most folks aren’t interested in giving Corey Seager away, […]

The victory moved the Diamondbacks two games ahead of […]
So… here we are. There’s something cruel about the scheduling gods sending the Los Angeles Angels into Camden Yards the day after the trade deadline. Both of these teams spent Monday afternoon dismantling pieces of their roster, and now they get to spend three days looking at what’s left. If you’re looking for a series […]
Yesterday was that more elusive kind of day in the Major League Baseball regular season when fans paid more attention to news and trade rumors than the actual action on the field. Such is the Trade Deadline! And it was a busy one, even if Yankees fans saw no catching or bullpen help come through […]

The Nats only make one more deal but as expected it's for Foster Griffin. To Cleveland for four guys pitchers Will Dion, Kendeglys Virguez, and Josh Hartle, and outfielder Nick Mitchell If you thought the Garcia haul was about quantity this one REALLY is about quantity. But to be fair that is what Griffin should bring back - next to nothing. He's been good but his ERA is under what the fancy stats say it should be. He's a back end starter for 2 ...

The trade deadline was a wild ride yesterday, with quite a few teams upgrading their lineups, rotations, and bullpens for the stretch run. We didn't see too many closers moved, though it looks like Jeff Hoffman is clearly the new closer in Minnesota and Luke Weaver certainly could be the Pirates' top ninth-inning option. Now […]
Maybe we've been viewing Harrison Bader all wrong. Not that he hasn't behaved like a Thanksgiving ham in a batting helmet , but he may have spurred his soon-to-be former employers to accept their current situation with a clearer eye and purpose. And with some gelignite . The San Francisco Giants have been freefalling all season long, which if nothing else marks a refreshing change from their decade of mediocrity in stasis. The amazing thing about their season is that they still haven't ch...
