The Colorado Rockies’ disastrous season that has them on pace for the worst MLB season ever has made fans quickly forget that the Chicago White Sox set the record for losses in a season in the modern era just last year. Chicago hasn’t improved much since then, either, as Rockies are the only team with […]

The Kansas City Royals called up top prospect Jac Caglianone this week, and former Royals All-Star Whit Merrifield doesn’t want to hear any complaints about the timing. After former Miami Marlins president (and former first boot on Survivor) David Samson ripped the Royals for calling Caglianone up just two weeks before the expected “super two” […]

When the 2025 season began, the St. Louis Cardinals were little more than an afterthought in the National League Central division. With teams like the Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs, and Cincinnati Reds, experts expected Oliver Marmol and his team to take a step back. Instead, St. Louis’ success has some general managers around the league […]

The Baltimore Orioles came into the season with championship ambitions. Instead, they are likely to be sellers before the MLB trade deadline.

When the Chicago Cubs started the 2025 season, experts thought they could have a National League MVP candidate. Kyle Tucker’s arrival gave their fanbase a lot of hope for what the season would hold.

On Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeff Passan wrote his first MLB trade deadline piece for all 32 MLB teams. The Houston Astros are one of the few teams that are hard to predict, and one player is a key factor in future decision-making. The Astros are aiming to get back to the postseason for the ninth consecutive […]

When Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh started his fifth season in Major League Baseball, he was happy. The “Big Dumper” signed a six-year, $105 million contract with Seattle in late March. More than two months into his new deal, though, Raleigh is in early consideration for the American League MVP award. He joins names like […]

The St. Louis Cardinals weren’t supposed to contend in 2025. But as of June 3, they are 33-26 and firmly in the National League Wild Card hunt.

The Detroit Tigers were dominant on Monday night as they started off a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox with a 13-1 victory. The bats were on fire all night long as the Tigers got ahead 3-0 in the first inning, and they never looked back. A lot of Tigers had big games, but […]

It’s been a rough go so far this season for the Boston Red Sox, when expectations were high before the start of the 2025 campaign.

The Chicago Cubs are looking for some pitching ahead of this year’s Major League Baseball trade deadline.

The Baltimore Orioles appear poised to be sellers at the trade deadline, and that’s good news for contending teams.

As ESPN’s Jeff Passan wrote on Tuesday, there aren’t many teams across baseball who […]

The Atlanta Braves are trying to cast a positive light despite their less-than-inspiring season so far. But a nagging injury adds to the doubt. And that leads to rumors, with ESPN’s Jeff Passan not ruling out a Braves’ trade of a core star. Passan said the Braves could find themselves in a position of needing […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ quest for a World Series repeat was always going to include a 162-game regular season slog.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan […]

The 2025 Baltimore Orioles season has been a catastrophe so far, complete with the dismissal of manager Brandon Hyde. With a playoff run nearly impossible, the intrigue in Baltimore now shifts to the trade deadline, and as ESPN’s Jeff Passan wrote on Tuesday, the Orioles are open for business. That doesn’t mean, however, the team […]

The Major League Baseball trade deadline is approaching, and trade speculation is heating up. The New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies are two teams expected to buy before the July 31 deadline.

There’s no doubt that the most disappointing aspect of the Miami Marlins’ season has been Sandy Alcantara and his performance this season, even though he is coming off Tommy John surgery.

It has been nearly three decades since Ozzie Smith last played in a Major League Baseball game, but his impact on the St. Louis Cardinals and the game itself is as strong as ever. Now 70 years old, the Hall of Famer shortstop still brings the same flair, energy, and wisdom that made him a […]

The Boston Red Sox’s Monday night contest against the Los Angeles Angels, the first of a three-game series, could not have started off in a worse way.
