The Red Sox are positioning themselves as strong contenders in the hunt for top-tier starting pitching. During the GM Meetings this week, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow indicated that Boston is actively exploring ways to secure an elite starter. The simplest route to achieve this goal would be through free agency, where pitchers like Corbin […]

Free agent starting pitcher Corbin Burnes is one of the hottest names this offseason. Burnes spent last season with the Baltimore Orioles after they made a trade for him with the Milwaukee Brewers last offseason, but there is no guarantee that he would consider a return to Baltimore. Orioles general manager Mike Elias spoke about […]

Super-agent Scott Boras may be the most powerful man in baseball. Boras represents most of this year’s top free agents, including  Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, Corbin Burnes, Blake Snell and Alex Bregman.

The 2024 MLB season ended with the Los Angeles Dodgers beating the New York Yankees in the World Series.

As September gets going, the San Francisco Giants are in real danger of finishing their third consecutive season without a winning record.

The Baltimore Orioles put their best foot forward this past offseason in an attempt to bolster their 101-win roster and they traded away a plethora of assets for veteran starter Corbin Burnes to function as their rotation’s ace.

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Zach Eflin is the latest player for the O’s to go out with an injury, but for this one, manager Brandon Hyde is “hopeful” that he’ll be back with a minimum IL stint. “[Eflin has] been great for us,” Hyde said, via ESPN. “Hopefully we’ll have him in September.” Eflin came over […]

The game between the Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets on Monday was one of many baseball contests throughout history that featured an inconsistent strike zone.

This is supposed to be a rebuilding season for the Milwaukee Brewers (41-29), or at minimum a gap year. Fans were optimistic about the future, but it felt unlikely for this club to hold a six and a half game divisional lead at any point in 2024 after losing a big chunk of its identity […]

Of all the positions to rank in 2024, starting pitchers are easily the most challenging. Pitchers in today’s MLB have pushed the sport–and their bodies to the absolute limit.
