Rays Fall to Orioles in AL East Weekend Series
There must be something in the water when the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles face off that always seems to end with an Orioles victory. For the fourth straight season, Baltimore clinched the season series against Tampa Bay. They got off to a great start on Friday, using a three-run fifth inning and a […] The post Rays Fall to Orioles in AL East Weekend Series appeared first on Just Baseball .
Ricky Tiedemann’s Story Is Still One of What Could’ve Been
In recent years, the Toronto Blue Jays have churned out several impressive prospects, and homegrown minor-league talent has made up a sizeable portion of their 2026 roster. Their draft history has also produced notable MLB pitchers like Trey Yesavage and Alek Manoah, though there haven’t been many incredible players drafted by the Jays since 2020.

Walker Jenkins Looks MLB-Ready, But Where Does He Play?
The fifth overall pick in an extremely top-heavy 2023 draft class, Walker Jenkins has been one of the minor leagues’ top bats since the day he stepped into pro ball. All the while, Jenkins has climbed quickly, rising to Triple-A in just his second full season. His offensive polish has been on full display, consistently […] The post Walker Jenkins Looks MLB-Ready, But Where Does He Play? appeared first on Just Baseball .
CJ Abrams’ Position Change Opens the Door for a Top Prospect
This year, the Washington Nationals have taken a massive step forward in their rebuild, in large part thanks to the sustained offensive performance of star CJ Abrams. Just 25 years old, he’s set the National League ablaze with his bat and is performing like one of the best hitters in all of MLB. Abrams has […] The post CJ Abrams’ Position Change Opens the Door for a Top Prospect appeared first on Just Baseball .
Troy Extends Head Coach Skylar Meade
After leading the Trojans to a 39-32 record in a magical 2026 season that included the program’s first hosted Super Regional and Omaha appearance, Troy locked down its head coach, Skylar Meade, to a four-year extension that includes a one-year continuation. He is now rumored to be the highest-paid coach in the Sun Belt Conference. […] The post Troy Extends Head Coach Skylar Meade appeared first on Just Baseball .

Ben Rice’s Second-Half Struggles Have Taken Him Out of the MVP Race
Before the 2026 season, all Ben Rice seemed to be was a promise. Promises of production, improvement, and otherworldly metrics painted a picture close enough to reality for New York Yankees fans to salivate over. That’s not to say he wasn’t already productive. In 2025, Rice posted a .251/.344/.499 slash line, with an OPS of […] The post Ben Rice’s Second-Half Struggles Have Taken Him Out of the MVP Race appeared first on Just Baseball .
Dodgers Owner Mark Walter Embroiled in Financial Investigation
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ remarkable run of success all began when Mark Walter and his ownership group, Guggenheim Baseball Management, purchased the franchise for a then-record $2.15 billion. This sale concluded a financially precarious era of Dodgers ownership under Frank McCourt, giving fans hope of a fresh start for the franchise. As of March 2026, […] The post Dodgers Owner Mark Walter Embroiled in Financial Investigation appeared first on Just Baseball .
Carson Benge is Looking More and More Like a Future Star
Every year on Opening Day, one of the most exciting trends around the league is the top prospects who break camp with their respective parent clubs and how they could impact the team in the season ahead.

Victor Mesa Jr. Has Found His Calling With the Rays
Baseball fans will likely remember a rather unlikely interaction back in 2021 between young Miami Marlins outfielder Victor Mesa Jr. and soccer superstar Lionel Messi. One was an upstart prospect who had yet to get his shot in the big leagues, while the other has been considered the best to ever play their sport, but […] The post Victor Mesa Jr. Has Found His Calling With the Rays appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Reds Whiffed on the Luis Castillo Trade
We all know the struggles and disadvantages that hinder small market teams. Limitations with money also lead to limitations in risk, making each move they make more crucial, as correcting mistakes isn’t an easy path. The reason teams like the Brewers, Guardians, and Rays find sustained success is because of how well they do three […] The post The Reds Whiffed on the Luis Castillo Trade appeared first on Just Baseball .
5 Positive Mets Trends That Are Encouraging for 2027
At long last, the New York Mets have finally started to play good baseball in 2026. It only took four months, a managerial change, and a complete roster overhaul at the trade deadline to reach this point. Alas, here we are. New York is 11-4 since the trade deadline, largely due to their resurgent offense […] The post 5 Positive Mets Trends That Are Encouraging for 2027 appeared first on Just Baseball .
Bryce Harper’s Defense Is Distracting From His Great Offense
When the Philadelphia Phillies inked Bryce Harper to a massive 13-year, $330 million deal, they knew they were getting one of the best hitters in recent history, even if his defense was less of a sure thing. Harper’s tenure as a Phillie hasn’t been all bad in the field, as the superstar has turned in […] The post Bryce Harper’s Defense Is Distracting From His Great Offense appeared first on Just Baseball .
Dylan Cease Is Staring Down His First Cy Young Award
It’s crazy to think that people were questioning the Toronto Blue Jays when they signed Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million contract. Now, in August, the only question should be, “Is he winning the AL Cy Young?” It’s a two-man race for the best pitcher in the American League, and it’s definitely a close […] The post Dylan Cease Is Staring Down His First Cy Young Award appeared first on Just Baseball .
Can Kade Anderson Save the Mariners’ Season?
The tail end of summer is a great time for many reasons. The temperatures begin to drop, college sports start once again, but most importantly, MLB rookies get their late-season shot at a big-league roster. While rosters don’t expand to 40 like they did in the days of old, plenty of players are still called […] The post Can Kade Anderson Save the Mariners’ Season? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Luis Rengifo Has Reached a New Level on the Padres
Left field quickly became an issue for the San Diego Padres after Ramon Laureano went down with a torn labrum in his right hip, ending his season. Laureano wasn’t exactly providing much production before the injury, however. He slashed .203/.286/.374 with seven home runs and 21 RBIs, leaving San Diego in need of more production […] The post Luis Rengifo Has Reached a New Level on the Padres appeared first on Just Baseball .
Should the White Sox Prioritize a Munetaka Murakami Extension?
Chris Getz was asked about a Munetaka Murakami extension before the Chicago White Sox had even seen him for a full month. Murakami arrived from Japan on a two-year, $34 million deal, giving the White Sox a short runway with one of the most accomplished power hitters in Nippon Professional Baseball history. Chicago first needed […] The post Should the White Sox Prioritize a Munetaka Murakami Extension? appeared first on Just Baseball .
If the Dodgers Have an Achilles Heel, It’s Their Bullpen
On paper, the Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the most talented rosters ever assembled. Yet, from the way they’ve been playing lately, you might not guess that. In the wake of their 2025 World Series championship, the already loaded Dodgers committed early to their three-peat ambitions. They acquired the services of the two top […] The post If the Dodgers Have an Achilles Heel, It’s Their Bullpen appeared first on Just Baseball .
Top Marlins Duo Is Scuffling at the Worst Time Possible
The trade deadline has passed, and the Miami Marlins, who have continued to prove the preseason doubters wrong, did not do anything to bolster their big-league team. In fact, they did the opposite by trading one of their top-three hitters in their lineup and one of Clayton McCullough’s go-to bullpen arms. There is no doubt […] The post Top Marlins Duo Is Scuffling at the Worst Time Possible appeared first on Just Baseball .
How Alex Bregman Turned His First Cubs Season Around
Earlier this year, the Chicago Cubs signed Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million contract. They envisioned his production on both sides of the ball, along with his leadership, helping fuel multiple postseason runs. The front office had their eyes on Bregman in previous years as well, being serious players to land him entering the […] The post How Alex Bregman Turned His First Cubs Season Around appeared first on Just Baseball .
Logan Henderson Showed Why He Wasn’t Traded for Tarik Skubal
In every season since 2017, the Milwaukee Brewers have found themselves in playoff contention late into the year. And with each postseason run that falls short, one question gets louder and louder from the voices of their fans. Is this the year the Brewers “go for it?” Milwaukee actually did stretch the pocketbooks in 2018, […] The post Logan Henderson Showed Why He Wasn’t Traded for Tarik Skubal appeared first on Just Baseball .
Spencer Horwitz Is Embracing the Ups and Downs of 2026
During the first half of the 2026 MLB season, the Pittsburgh Pirates looked like an offensive juggernaut. Led by the breakout of Oneil Cruz and the new additions of Brandon Lowe and Ryan O’Hearn, the club was beginning to turn a corner. However, one of the main contributors fell under the radar: Spencer Horwitz. Originally […] The post Spencer Horwitz Is Embracing the Ups and Downs of 2026 appeared first on Just Baseball .
Spencer Miles’ Numbers Are Proving Which Role Fits Him Best
The Toronto Blue Jays may have stumbled into one of baseball’s most underrated and impressive relievers this season, and he’s been an incredible part of Toronto’s very strong bullpen. His name is Spencer Miles, and he was on absolutely nobody’s radar coming into the 2026 season. Now, he’s transformed into a bona fide dominant reliever […] The post Spencer Miles’ Numbers Are Proving Which Role Fits Him Best appeared first on Just Baseball .
Kevin McGonigle Is Exceeding All Early Expectations
The Detroit Tigers‘ improbable run to the postseason in 2024, followed by narrowly missing a chance to play for a World Series in 2025, pushed fans’ expectations for an aggressive offseason in 2026 sky-high. An offense that fell off a cliff in the second half of 2025 led to names like Alex Bregman and Bo […] The post Kevin McGonigle Is Exceeding All Early Expectations appeared first on Just Baseball .
