The San Francisco Giants opted against completing a fire sale at the MLB trade deadline earlier this month, as they kept all of their coveted players, including Carlos Rodon.

The San Francisco Giants quest to follow up their wildly successful 2021 campaign has fallen short. They have already lost more games this season than they did all of last season, and as August comes to a close, their playoff hopes are hanging on by a thread. The Giants are currently 5.5 games behind the […]

Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander is posting a Cy Young-caliber 2022 season. Despite missing 2021 due to injury and being just shy of 40 years old, Verlander continues to dominate the competition. As a result, MLB insider Ken Rosenthal believes the right-hander will be in store for a “monster salary” in MLB free agency, per […]

The San Diego Padres seemed set to be in business for the rest of the season after their explosive 2022 MLB trade deadline.

The San Diego Padres unfortunately lost their game against the Washington Nationals on Friday night.

This is not how the second half of the season should’ve gone for the New York Yankees. A few months ago, the pinstripes were on top of the baseball world. They were hitting bombs everywhere. Their pitchers shut down every batting lineup known to man. They were easily the most dominant team in baseball. Enter […]

The Cleveland Guardians lead the American League Central despite having the youngest roster in Major League Baseball. Many people around the league felt as if Cleveland was a couple years away from contending ahead of the 2022 season. But the Guardians have found a way to compete with their extremely youthful roster. So what has […]

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is having a phenomenal season. The 34-year-old is making a case to be the National League MVP.

Tony La Russa has been making some… bizarre calls, to say the least. The Chicago White Sox manager has long been known to have some unique approaches to managing in the modern era. One of his most infamous plays is his preference of intentionally walking a batter even when he’s ahead in the count. On […]

The Baltimore Orioles fanbase has had a tough stretch over the last several years. Losing has been a staple with the Orioles, so attendance of the games has been on the bottom half.

The Houston Astros lost against the Atlanta Braves on Friday night, but that was the least of their concerns.

The Boston Red Sox are not having a good year. They’re at the bottom of the AL East with a 59-60 record as of Friday night and although the team is just five games out of a Wild Card spot, it just feels unlikely Alex Cora’s group will actually make the postseason because of their […]

This season may very well be Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols’ final season with the St. Louis Cardinals. At the very least, Pujols is adamant that he won’t be playing after this year. While Yadi hasn’t explicitly said that he would be retiring, his age and health makes it likely to happen. Because of that, […]

The Detroit Tigers are a major disappointment. Prior to the season, Tigers fans saw the 2022 MLB season as a potential beginning of the end of their long rebuild.

The New York Mets headed into their series against the Philadelphia Phillies with one goal: win. Their last series against the Atlanta Braves saw their lead in the division go down significantly. With the defending champions heating up, NY wants to keep as much of a cushion between them and their division rivals. Luckily, they […]

It’s crazy to think that St. Louis Cardinals legend Albert Pujols is 42 years old and still smacking home runs at the MLB level. His teammates can’t believe it, either. Paul Goldschmidt was asked on Friday night by Bob Nightengale if he could ever play as long as Pujols has. His answer? Pretty cut and […]

The Boston Red Sox ended up completing a total of five moves ahead of this year’s MLB trade deadline.
