The Colorado Rockies are a confusing team to figure out. After making a rebuilding move and trading Nolan Arenado away (and acquiring a questionable return at best), they let Trevor Story and John Gray walk in free agency last season. Sure, compensation picks are one thing. But the Rockies should have traded both players in […]

The San Francisco Giants are a team to watch heading into the 2022 MLB trade deadline in August. Last season, the Giants made a huge splash when they traded for Kris Bryant.

A 51.9 percent chance. That’s the percentage chance Baseball Reference has given the Philadelphia Phillies at making this year’s postseason.

The team has clearly […]
