A couple of seasons ago, the Baltimore Orioles won 101 games, the AL East, and were among the favorites to win the World Series. Excitement and optimism were as high in Camden Yards as at any time in recent memory. But over the last two years, Baltimore has fallen all the way to the bottom […]

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ MLB Winter Meetings have come and gone, and the Philadelphia Phillies are still looking for that one decisive move to reignite their championship dreams.

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Seattle Mariners need a new infield asset and Brendan Donovan of the St. Louis Cardinals is the go-to guy.

In​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ order to challenge the Philadelphia Phillies and now a healthy Atlanta Braves team in the National League East, the New York Mets ought to take a big and bold step in the trading market. Finishing the 2025 season with a flop, the management should thus concentrate on the matter of how to get their […]

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Atlanta Braves are basically a decision away from the 2026 season. With their championship window being very short, it is necessary for General Manager Alex Anthopoulos to be bold and, by all means, go after a high-caliber starting pitcher who can enhance the Braves’ rotation, positioning them alongside Chris Sale and Spencer Strider. The […]

Steven Kwan has emerged as the centerpiece of one of the most logical and mutually beneficial trade concepts of the MLB offseason, as speculation around the Cleveland Guardians potentially moving the All-Star outfielder continues to circulate. A framework involving the New York Mets aligns cleanly with Cleveland’s long-term objectives, while Kwan fits seamlessly into the […]

There’s no two ways about it: the Los Angeles Dodgers have had a very good winter so far. From stealing Edwin Diaz away from the New York Mets to bringing back Miguel Rojas after his World Series heroics, and other marginal moves like claiming Michael Siani, signing Nick Frasso, and Rule 5 drafting Angel Medina […]

Nick Castellanos’ tenure with the Philadelphia Phillies is drawing to a close, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that a fresh start is exactly what the veteran outfielder needs. The Phillies have made their intentions obvious by signing Adolis García, essentially ending Castellanos’ time in Philadelphia after his disappointing 2025 campaign. Cincinnati, looking to add offensive […]

With Castellanos currently on the trade block and the Phillies seeking to shed salary, an opportunity exists for the Mets to acquire a proven right fielder who can solidify their lineup. Given the Mets’ willingness to explore trades and their deep prospect pool, a fair deal between both organizations makes considerable sense heading into the […]

The Seattle Mariners have quietly positioned themselves as contenders in the American League, and addressing their right field situation remains a priority heading into 2026. Philadelphia’s Nick Castellanos represents an intriguing target that could provide immediate production, though the cost would need to remain palatable for a team investing heavily in their core. Here’s why […]

The bad blood between the New York Yankees and New York Mets is best left unspoken. So when Luke Weaver agrees to a $22 million deal to go from the Bronx to Queens, that can feel like a betrayal. Ultimately, the deal will be for two years, per Joel Sherman of The New York Post. […]

The Philadelphia Phillies remain in a perplexing state of contradiction—they possess one of baseball’s most talented rosters yet continue searching for complementary pieces that could elevate them to championship contention. Among their current roster, Nick Castellanos represents an intriguing trade candidate, particularly for a team like the Cleveland Guardians that could bolster their outfield depth […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks have emerged as an unlikely player in the Alex Bregman sweepstakes, marking a surprising pivot from their typical offseason approach of prioritizing starting pitching. The D-Backs are “kicking the tires” on the possibility of acquiring the star third baseman, a move that would represent a significant statement about their competitive ambitions. The […]

The Boston Red Sox never made a move for Kyle Schwarber at the Winter Meetings. They came up short when it came to signing a power-hitting first baseman in Pete Alonso. The Red Sox had a solid season and made the playoffs as a Wild Card team, but they are not a championship team yet. […]

The Atlanta Braves have quietly built one of baseball’s most talented rosters over the past few seasons, but adding elite shortstop production remains a critical need.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have an opportunity to bring back one of their greatest homegrown talents, Corey Seager, in a blockbuster trade proposal that could reinvigorate their championship window. While Seager remains under contract with the Texas Rangers through 2031, a strategic trade package featuring a proven major league player and two elite prospects could […]

The New York Yankees have a prime opportunity to acquire one of baseball’s elite contact hitters in Corey Seager. While the Texas Rangers would likely demand a hefty package for their franchise cornerstone, a balanced proposal exists that doesn’t cripple the Bronx Bombers’ roster or future. The key is understanding what Texas values most while […]

Less than two months after the Los Angeles Dodgers won their second consecutive World Series, we are back. The Winter Meetings provided enough to chew on, especially with Pete Alonso leaving the New York Mets and joining the Baltimore Orioles. The first edition of the 2026 MLB Power Rankings is here, taking into account all […]

The New York Mets face a critical offseason after failing to reach the playoffs in 2025. New York was expected to build on a successful 2024 campaign, when the team made a surprise run to the NLCS.

The Chicago Cubs find themselves in a unique position heading into what could be a transformative offseason.

The Boston Red Sox find themselves at a crossroads this offseason with an opportunity to acquire one of baseball’s most dominant arms. Tyler Glasnow, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ ace, has emerged as a potential trade target as the team looks to shed payroll following their World Series championship run.

The Atlanta Braves have a legitimate shot at the National League pennant next season, and adding a dominant frontline starter like Tyler Glasnow could position them as legitimate World Series contenders. The Los Angeles Dodgers, facing financial constraints and the need to retool their roster, may find a compelling offer from Atlanta worth considering. Glasnow’s […]

The Baltimore Orioles stole the spotlight from the Los Angeles Dodgers at the 2025 MLB Winter Meetings, and that contrast says everything about how far the franchise has come. Los Angeles still had a strong showing, signing elite closer Edwin Diaz to address its most obvious weakness and reinforce a roster chasing a third consecutive […]

The New York Mets entered the offseason determined to bounce back from a disappointing 2025 campaign. Despite a massive payroll and the addition of superstar right fielder Juan Soto, New York failed to reach the playoffs. Now the Mets turn their attention to free agency.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have the best roster in MLB. There’s no question about it. They could run it back with the same group as last year and probably win their third consecutive Fall Classic in 2026. However, Andrew Friedman and the ball club are always looking for ways to improve, and trading starting pitcher […]

Losing both Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, it’s hard to argue against the New York Mets being the biggest loser of the Winter Meetings. However, the Mets aren’t the only team reeling at the conclusion of the Meetings. One of the biggest moved that occurred during the event was Kyle Schwarber signing a five-year, $150 […]

The Baltimore Orioles may have pulled out the biggest move of Major League Baseball’s Winter Meetings when they signed slugger Pete Alonso to a five-year contract that is worth $155 million. The Orioles signed Alonso away from the New York Mets, the team that he had risen to stardom with during his seven-year career. Alonso […]

The New York Mets have had a disastrous start to the offseason.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have an opportunity to address one of their most glaring weaknesses at the winter meetings by pursuing Arizona’s elite second baseman, Ketel Marte.

Pittsburgh’s surplus of […]

The Seattle Mariners have quietly emerged as legitimate contenders in the American League, but one glaring weakness remains their second base position. While they’ve explored internal options and external targets like Jorge Polanco and Brendan Donovan, there’s one player who could transform their lineup immediately: Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte. After the winter meetings showcase […]

The Houston Astros find themselves at a critical juncture this winter, needing to bolster a rotation that has been besieged by injuries and free-agent departures. While the Milwaukee Brewers have publicly stated their intention to retain Freddy Peralta for the final year of his favorable contract, the reality of the market often dictates otherwise. General […]

Heading into MLB free agency, the Los Angeles Dodgers played things coy. Dave Roberts hyped up Tanner Scott as a bounce-back closer option, preached continuity, and made it seem like this would be a quiet winter in Los Angeles. This, when coupled with rumors that the team wasn’t going to go big game hunting in […]

The Philadelphia Phillies made the first big splash of the Winter Meetings on Tuesday, signing Kyle Schwarber to a five-year, $150 million deal. After finishing second in MVP voting in 2025, Schwarber cashed in on his last free-agent opportunity. The Phillies keep their designated hitter despite losing in the playoffs once again. How did both […]

Early on Tuesday, it was reported that the San Diego Padres were interested in trading Nick Pivetta, who is the team’s top starting pitcher. ‘The Padres have shown a willingness to entertain offers for Nick Pivetta, league sources told The Athletic. A deal involving the right-hander is not considered likely — San Diego would require […]

The San Diego Padres should be at the front of the line for Hunter Greene, even if the odds of Cincinnati actually moving him sit around a meager 10 percent. The combination of need, timing and upside makes this the kind of calculated overpay that can redefine a franchise’s window overnight. Greene is exactly the […]

The New York Mets were among the most disappointing teams in Major League Baseball in 2025. It’s clear that owner Steve Cohen is never going to sit idly by and accept last year’s failure to make a postseason appearance without making key changes prior to the start of the new season. In addition to Cohen’s […]
