A recent MLB proposal has left players outraged, as the deep salary cuts would affect all players but especially the highest-paid stars. Take Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout for example — the highest-paid player in 2020. Trout would  make $5,748,577 of his $37,666,666 full-fledged salary under a proposed 82-game season. That equates to […]

As the time to watch the sport of baseball has been cut short, and with the 2020 MLB regular season being pushed off as the spread of COVID-19 runs rampant throughout the entire globe, people everywhere are being forced to change their daily habits, some of which incorporated sports into them. With all sports being […]

Traded to the Milwaukee Brewers all the way back in December 2015, starting pitcher Freddy Peralta has shown impressive glimpses of the kind of pitcher that he can become, which has made the franchise proud that they went out and acquired him.

With all of the reported rumors circulating around the availability of Milwaukee Brewers’ star closer Josh Hader, for a small-market franchise, it is smart for them to at least look into what type of value the All-Star hurler could get this team.

Nine minutes. Nine minutes is all the Washington Nationals had the league in the 2019 National League Wild Card game, but those nine minutes were all at the end of the contest, and they were the ones that meant the most.

Although the Cubs could possibly help the Milwaukee Brewers win the National League Central by playing their best lineup for the upcoming three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals, Cubs manager Joe Maddon is hardly ready to prioritize winning meaningless games over the health of his own players: With Cubs out, Maddon isn't playing his […]
