The reigning American League champions couldn't even manage a winning record in 2026, as the Blue Jays fell to 79-83 and last place in the AL East. The Jays were set back by a ton of injuries, but beyond just hoping for improved health, the club needs to fix a lackluster offense. Guaranteed Contracts Vladimir […]

George Kirby’s Fastball Failed Him
Mariners right-hander George Kirby just put together the worst season of his career. He stumbled to a 4.33 ERA as one of the key contributors to a disappointing season for Seattle’s vaunted rotation. Kirby’s 4.20 xERA suggests he earned every bit of the poor performance. His strikeout numbers fell to career-low levels while his elite […]

Chourio wins it for the Brewers Milwaukee had done next to nothing against Michael King and company heading into the ninth inning yesterday. Shutdown closer Mason Miller uncharacteristically walked three […]

Ty France’s Homecoming May Have Saved The Padres’ Season
Ty France was in the postseason spotlight for the most unusual of reasons on Saturday. The first baseman’s possible game-tying homer in the ninth inning of Game 1 of the NLDS was turned into a fly ball out to Jackson Chourio after the ball deflected off a cable hanging from the roof of American Family […]
Aroldis Chapman Passes Physical, 2027 Option Vests
Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman has passed his end-of-season physical, according to reporter Francys Romero. This was the last detail required to turn Chapman’s mutual option for 2027 into a fully guaranteed deal, so the veteran southpaw is now locked into at least a $13MM salary for his age-39 season. The final salary should fall […]
Where Does Jordan Westburg Fit For The Orioles?
Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg missed all of 2026 with multiple injuries. First, it was an oblique strain over the winter. Then, it was an elbow issue that resulted in Tommy John surgery. Westburg went under the knife in May. President of baseball operations Mike Elias gave a vague timeline for Westburg’s availability for the 2027 […]
The Playoffs Are Revealing The Future White Sox Rotation
The terms “starter” and “reliever” don’t mean much to the White Sox. The club has consistently employed openers and bulk pitchers in lieu of typical starters this season. The postseason has been no different. Sean Burke made a somewhat normal start in the clincher against the Astros, but two quasi-starters came in after him (Anthony […]
The Pirates Nailed The Brandon Lowe Trade
The Astros went into last offseason in search of rotation depth. The Rays were looking to offload a cumbersome contract (by their standards). Enter the Pirates, who seized the opportunity and came away with a tremendous trade haul. Pittsburgh landed second baseman Brandon Lowe, left-hander Mason Montgomery, and outfielder Jake Mangum in the three-team deal. […]
The Opener: France, Rasmussen, Skubal
The Yankees managed just one hit yesterday. It still resulted in an out. Austin Wells roped a line drive down the right-field line in the eighth inning, but tried to stretch the double into a triple. He was thrown out easily at third. “I’m trying to make something happen,” Wells said (h/t Jon Heyman of […]

Yankees Hope To Retain Pitching Coach Matt Blake
As the Yankees look to rebound against the Rays following a 1-0 loss tonight, a key member of their coaching staff will see his contract expire at the end of the year. Matt Blake, who has served as the Yankees’ pitching coach since the 2020 season, is in the final stretch of his contract with […]
A Look At Nolan Arenado’s Comeback Year
Back in January, the Diamondbacks acquired Nolan Arenado from the Cardinals with the hope that he’d provide veteran stability at the hot corner as they made a run at a Wild Card. The latter didn’t happen, of course, but it was through no fault of Arenado. The 35-year-old wound up authoring a decent comeback campaign […]
Six Players Elect Minor League Free Agency
Six known players have elected minor league free agency in the past three days. While Major League free agents hit the open market five days after the end of the World Series, these eligible minor leaguers finished the season on outright assignments, so they’re able to get a head start on free agency. For further […]
Orioles Aiming To Improve Defensively In 2027
The Orioles finished 2026 with a disappointing 79-82 record and missed the playoffs for the second straight year. They scored 718 runs on offense but gave up 739 runs to opponents thanks in part to a middling starting rotation. Their middle-of-the-pack defense was another part of that equation, and improving defensively is an area of […]
Hazen: D-Backs To Prioritize Adding Left-Handed Bats
The Diamondbacks finished the season at 86-76 but just barely missed the playoffs via the Phillies’ win over the Rays on the final day of the regular season. They’ll enter the offseason looking to upgrade and get back to October in 2027, and they’ll have some leadership continuity with manager Torey Lovullo retained for at […]
Joe Espada Hopes To Remain Astros’ Manager In 2027
The Astros were swiftly knocked out of the postseason via a two-game sweep by the upstart White Sox. That’s the third straight year under manager Joe Espada in which Houston failed to make a deep postseason run, having been swept in the Wild Card Series in 2024 and 2026 and missing the playoffs entirely in […]
Details On The Yankees/Orioles Deadline Talks About Adley Rutschman
Prior to the blockbuster deal that sent Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox at the trade deadline, the Orioles were also discussing Rutschman with two other division rivals. The Rays and Yankees were known to have shown some interest in Rutschman’s services, and Jon Heyman of the New York Post shared some details on the […]

The NL West and NL East champions will square off when the Dodgers host the Braves in Game 1 of the NLDS in Los Angeles.
