Over the last three years, no MLB team has more regular season wins than the Los Angeles Dodgers. LA’s 320 victories are 25 more than the second-place Braves during that span. Yet all the Dodgers have to show for it is an NLCS appearance and two NLDS exits. Their only World Series title of the […]

While some big names flew off the market in MLB free agency this past offseason, that wasn’t the case for everyone, and one guy who endured a very lengthy free agency was Blake Snell. The reigning National League Cy Young winner eventually signed a two-year, $62 million contract with the San Francisco Giants, but he […]

The Houston Astros have been one of the most successful franchises in the MLB over the past decade or so; they have won two World Series titles since 2015, and they haven’t fallen short of the ALCS since then with the exception of the 2016 season (when they missed the playoffs). With sustained contention, however, […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers won the recent MLB offseason by a landslide, as they signed unicorn and two-time American League Most Valuable Player Shohei Ohtani and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

The New York Yankees are looking pretty damn good to start the year, huh. After a disappointing 2023 season, the Bronx Bombers came out of the gate on fire. They extinguished a past demon of theirs after sweeping the Houston Astros. The biggest story to come out of that series, though, is their newest weapon: […]

No matter how the New York Yankees are playing at any given time, the fan base is always pushed to one extreme side of the fence or the other.

The San Francisco Giants narrowly missed the playoffs in 2023. San Francisco had a successful offseason for the most part, though, and they could make some noise in 2024.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a pretty forgettable spring training, all things considered. The Japanese star pitcher was the biggest acquisition of the Los Angeles Dodgers outside of Shohei Ohtani.

While his tenure has only lasted three games, Juan Soto has been everything the New York Yankees were expecting and more. Facing the Houston Astros on Sunday, Soto once again proved to be the difference maker for New York. The Yankees moved to 3-0 on the season with a 5-3 victory over the Astros. Down […]

The Philadelphia Phillies haven’t gotten off to a good start in 2024 after allowing 21 runs to the rival Atlanta Braves in a pair of losses through the first two games of the season.

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza has walked into a unique situation in his first year as a skipper.

Although the […]
