If last year was any indication, it’s that the Chicago Cubs aren’t afraid to do the unpopular. Last year’s MLB trade deadline was a painful one for Cubs fans, as they watched the team deal 2016 World Series heroes Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez and Kris Bryant. This year, the Cubs are a similarly middling team, […]

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 […]

Kris Bryant shocked the MLB world when he signed with the Colorado Rockies during the offseason. Sure, Coors Field and it’s elevation provide an advantage for hitters.

He tossed eight […]

On Tuesday, Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Zack Greinke is toeing the rubber against his former team, the Houston Astros, at Minute Maid Park.
