The New York Yankees have been playing it cool over the past few weeks, refusing to man panic stations despite being in a brutal stretch that now has them sitting in third place in the AL East standings. However, the Yankees may have to sound the alarm bells right now after an 8-5 loss to […]

It looked like the New York Yankees were going to put a temporary stop to their bleeding on Monday against the Texas Rangers. They were two outs away from doing so when closer Devin Williams added yet another terrible moment to what has been a nightmare 2025 season thus far for the former All-Star. Williams […]

On Monday night, the New York Yankees were on their way to a much-needed win against the Texas Rangers, another contender for a Wild Card spot in the AL. They were leading 5-4 heading into the bottom of the ninth, and a victory would have stopped the bleeding — giving them their first win of […]

Things are picking up for this Boston Red Sox squad that’s on fire at the moment. They’ve won eight of their past 10 games, including their Monday night tussle against the Kansas City Royals, 8-5. They have surpassed the New York Yankees to claim second place in the AL East, and they keep putting pressure […]

Monday night could not have gone more according to plan for the Toronto Blue Jays. Facing the worst team in MLB in the Colorado Rockies, the Blue Jays wasted no time in putting them in their place, destroying them 15-1 on the night on three home runs and a staggering 25 base hits. Of those […]

The Philadelphia Phillies weren’t shy at all prior to the trade deadline, being aggressive on the market by trading for one of the best available relievers in the hard-throwing Jhoan Duran. Duran is going to be the Phillies’ undisputed closer, and on Sunday, in just his second game for his new team, he made his […]

Armed with the gigantic task of holding the fort while Aaron Judge recovers from an elbow injury, the New York Yankees made a mess of themselves in a big way this past weekend in a three-game series against the Miami Marlins. On Sunday, the Yankees were thoroughly outplayed by the Marlins on all sides of […]

The Chicago Cubs will be needing every win they can get the rest of the way considering how on fire the Milwaukee Brewers have been for the past two months or so. With the Brewers demolishing the Washington Nationals, 14-3, the Cubs needed to win to keep in step with their rivals. But after the […]

The Chicago White Sox are not a good baseball team just yet, not by any means. But at this point, any sort of progress must be celebrated on their end. The White Sox have surpassed last season’s win total already even though there are 50 games remaining in the season, thanks to their incredible 1-0 […]

This offseason has been a rather eventful one for the Los Angeles Lakers. And they may not be done making moves yet. Now that they’ve received extra security for their future after Luka Doncic decided to sign a three-year, $165 million extension to stay until at least the 2027-28 season, they could very well be […]

Shane Bieber, when healthy, has shown himself to be one of the best pitchers in all of MLB. And the Toronto Blue Jays certainly believe in his capability of returning to full strength, as they pulled off a trade for him with the Cleveland Guardians with the hopes of him helping in their quest to […]

The 2025 season has long been lost for the Baltimore Orioles. In a disappointing turn of events, the Orioles have become the worst team in the AL East despite being pegged by many as a team that could grow into a powerhouse for around a decade or so considering how stacked their farm system has […]

The Miami Heat are rare in the sense that they do not want to bottom out and rebuild from the ground up. They prefer to remain in the fringes of the playoff picture at the very least, and at present, they are remaining semi-competitive, hoping that the next star that becomes available deems the Heat […]

The Memphis Grizzlies have had a very interesting offseason. Coming off a disappointing 2024-25 season in which they fell off towards the end of the season and, as a result, had to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs (in which they were promptly swept), the Grizzlies decided […]

The Seattle Mariners are going for it, as they were one of the most aggressive teams prior to the trade deadline as evidenced by their trades for Eugenio Suarez and Josh Naylor. But at the end of the day, what’s going to elevate the Mariners even further is a return to MVP form for center […]

Many considered the Philadelphia 76ers to be one of the biggest winners of the 2024 NBA offseason when they pulled off the major Paul George signing — making the nine-time All-Star their de facto Tobias Harris replacement. However, George never really got going in a 76ers uniform last season. He injured his knee during preseason […]

This offseason is shaping up to be an ever crucial one for the Golden State Warriors. Last season, they showed that they can still compete with the best, especially after acquiring Jimmy Butler. They went 23-9 since the trade deadline (23-7 with Butler) and pulled off an upset against the two-seeded Houston Rockets. The Warriors […]

Nathan Eovaldi is certainly doing everything in his power to will the Texas Rangers, the 2023 World Series champion, back to the postseason. In the month of July, Eovaldi has pitched on an entirely different playing field, and on Wednesday, his hot streak continued with a dominant start in a 6-3 win for the Rangers […]

Wednesday night was an eventful one for the New York Yankees. They found themselves on the brink of defeat many times but managed to rescue themselves over and over again, taking a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in 11 innings. The Yankees shot themselves on the foot so many times that it’s a […]

On Wednesday, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Eugenio Suarez trade saga finally came to an end after the hard-hitting infielder was acquired by a former employer of his, the Seattle Mariners, in a blockbuster trade. The Mariners beat everyone to the punch, with teams such as the Detroit Tigers, Chicago Cubs, and Philadelphia Phillies missing out on […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are facing the music, embracing their status as a selling club prior to the trade deadline as evidenced by their decision to trade away closer Ryan Helsley to the New York Mets on Wednesday. It’s not like the Cardinals have a bad team; despite their 2-0 loss to the Miami Marlins […]

The 2025 season has not gone according to plan for the Cleveland Guardians. Despite their 5-0 win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday, they remain a long way back of the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central standings, making it likely for them to be a selling ballclub prior to the 2025 MLB trade deadline. […]

To say that Sandy Alcantara has suffered a major fall-off would be an understatement. In 2022, the Miami Marlins ace went out and won the NL Cy Young award after putting up an ERA of 2.28 across 32 starts (228.2 innings). But just three years later, Alcantara is barely holding on to a rotation spot […]

With the Pittsburgh Pirates being very much out of playoff contention, one would think that they’d be willing sellers prior to the trade deadline. In fact, it’s a reasonable thing to think that anyone other Paul Skenes could be available in a potential trade. But Skenes isn’t the only member of the Pirates’ starting rotation […]

Another day, another Anthony Volpe error has struck for the New York Yankees. On Tuesday, in a 7-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, Volpe vowed that he’d be better and he had to clean up his mistakes after committing two throwing errors — one of which led to a run and the other almost […]

The Philadelphia Phillies have been one of the winningest teams in MLB for the past four seasons, but they haven’t quite gotten over the hump yet. However, the Phillies, like in every season, believe that 2025 is their year. They are certainly going for a World Series title, as evidenced by their blockbuster trade for […]

The New York Mets have wrestled back the NL East lead from the Philadelphia Phillies, going 7-4 since the All-Star break, but the Phillies are right on their tail. The Mets only have a half-game advantage over their fiercest division rival, and they are coming off two straight defeats to the San Diego Padres — […]

The 2025 season has had plenty of ups and downs for the New York Yankees, and there are still two months of regular season baseball left for them to play. On Tuesday, the Yankees showed all of their strengths and weaknesses in a 7-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Their offense continues to be […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are handling Tyler Glasnow with the utmost care, especially after he missed over two months of action earlier in the season after suffering a shoulder injury back in April. On Tuesday, Glasnow made just his ninth start of the season, his fourth since being activated from the injured list, and proceeded […]

With the Baltimore Orioles too far out of contention, they decided to be a selling ballclub prior to the trade deadline. One of their moves was to send reliever Seranthony Dominguez to the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. However, the Orioles were in the middle of a series against the Blue Jays at […]

With over half of the 2025 MLB season having gone by already, most teams have already established their identity on the year. There has already been so much baseball to judge every team by, and a few are already separating themselves from the pack. But Jon Heyman of the New York Post has one undisputed […]

The New York Yankees are going to have to hold steady as they navigate the next few days without star right fielder Aaron Judge, who is currently on the 10-day injured list with a strained flexor in his right elbow. And they’re not off to the best of starts, as they were on the receiving […]

The Chicago White Sox are markedly better in 2025 than they were throughout the entirety of their rot-infested 2024 campaign, but that is such a low bar to clear. With the trade deadline coming up, the White Sox are going to be unquestioned sellers, especially when they have a poor 39-68 record. And sharks appear […]

Luka Doncic is in the middle of an offseason that could prove to be a defining point in his career. Traded by the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers due to concerns over his long-term health and work ethic, it looks as though Doncic is dead-set on proving his haters wrong, if the latest […]

As much as the Charlotte Hornets struggled for much of the 2024-25 season, finishing with a dreadful 19-63 record, there is reason to be hopeful considering that they at least have the makings of a good, ascending young core. Brandon Miller, in particular, made plenty of strides last season, averaging 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, and […]

Eugenio Suarez is in the middle of one of the best seasons of his career; heading into the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Monday night clash against the Detroit Tigers, Suarez is slashing .247/.319/.579 on the season with 36 home runs and 87 runs batted in — making him one of the most attractive trade targets on the […]

The San Francisco Giants are treading dangerous waters heading into the trade deadline. They’ve lost nine of their past 11 games, including seven of their past nine since the All-Star break, and the Giants front office has to decide whether or not it’s going to be worth it to be aggressive leading up to the […]

The New York Mets have now recovered their form after a brutal slump last month, and they are back on top of the NL East with a 1.5-game cushion over the Philadelphia Phillies to boot after a three-game sweep of the falling San Francisco Giants. With a record of 62-44 on the season, and 7-3 […]

The San Francisco Giants’ season is at a crossroads. Fresh off a demoralizing three-game series sweep at the hands of the New York Mets in which they made some history they would much rather forget about completely, the Giants now stand just two games above .500, losing ground in the playoff race with each defeat.
