The Houston Astros have consistently been one of the best teams in MLB over the past few years. In 2024, though, the Astros are struggling. Houston currently owns a 30-36 record and they are on track to sell at the trade deadline barring a resurgence over the next month. As a result, players such as […]

The Philadelphia Phillies have been white-hot through the first two months of the MLB season, and despite co-holding the best record in the majors, the Phillies will reportedly be “all over the outfield market” as the trade deadline approaches. While Philadelphia’s offense has been a massive point of strength this year, its outfield’s production has […]

Given how poorly the Houston Astros have begun the 2024 season, the last thing they need is an injury to one of their best players. However, on Monday night, that’s exactly what happened after star right fielder Kyle Tucker had to exit the game in the bottom of the third inning of their 7-4 win […]

Awards are so special in Major League Baseball because the season is so long. To be the best pitcher, hitter or overall rookie in one of the two leagues, you have to be on top of your game for a full six months, fighting off surging challengers along the way. But sometimes the mind craves […]

The 2024 MLB regular season is right around the corner. In the American League, the MVP race is wide open after Shohei Ohtani ran away with the award in 2023. With Ohtani now in the National League, who is set to win the award in 2024? Of course, superstars such as Aaron Judge, Yordan Alvarez, […]

Getting booted out of the ALCS by the eventual World Series-winning Texas Rangers is not an issue for Kyle Tucker. The Houston Astros All-Star has all the help from Justin Verlander, Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, and Framber Valdez among others. This is why he started making big declarations about the team’s upcoming season amid Spring […]

There’s more work to do for the Houston Astros front office. Fresh off signing Jose Altuve to a five-year, $125 million extension last week, the team now turns its sights to some of its other key players. Presently, the Astros are trying to ink long-term deals with third baseman Alex Bregman and right fielder Kyle […]

Houston Astros fans know their title window could get far more narrow in a couple years if the front office does not lock up their core players, one of whom includes Kyle Tucker. Until a long-term contract is inked, there is bound to be some unrest hovering above Minute Maid Park. Fortunately, the immediate future […]

The Houston Astros are down 2-0 in the ALCS against the Texas Rangers heading on the road for games three, four and potentially five if the Astros win one of the next two games, and Kyle Tucker has been struggling mightily so far in October. He is currently 2-22 this postseason. After the Game 2 […]

The Houston Astros are down bad right now. Last year’s World Series champions sit in a 0-2 hole in the 2023 ALCS, losing both games at home to the red-hot Texas Rangers. It won’t get any easier as they now head to Arlington on Wednesday in a must-win situation. This is a resilient group that […]

Kyle Tucker just gave the Houston Astros a huge win in the most incredible fashion imaginable: hitting a ninth-inning grand slam off of Baltimore Orioles superstar Felix Bautista. Bautista is having one of the best seasons by a relief pitcher in recent memory but faltered in a home matchup with the Astros. A walk from […]

Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout is expected to miss four to eight weeks after suffering a wrist injury. The primary concern is of course for the Angels and how they will move forward without one of the best players in the game. However, Trout’s injury also left a void in the MLB All-Star Game. […]

When Astros general manager Dana Brown reached an agreement on a five-year, $64 million extension with Cristian Javier in February, it seemed as if more such deals would end up being completed before Houston’s 2023 regular season opener. However, this will not turn out to be the case for the reigning World Series champions. During […]

As the Houston Astros embark on their quest to repeat as champions, they are also looking to lock up the core of their team with contract extensions. Kyle Tucker and Framber Valdez are two of the next guys that they want to sign but general manager Dana Brown doesn’t sound too confident about it. Brown […]

Winning a World Series isn’t easy. (Understatement of the century right there.) Many events have to break right for a team, and even then, there are no guarantees that they will be the ones left standing come the end of the year. Thus, a team needs everyone to step up in their own way, be […]

The Philadelphia Phillies pulled off a wild comeback in Game 1 of the World Series, rallying from a 5-0 deficit to end up winning 6-5 in the 10th inning. JT Realmuto ended up playing hero in this one, as he hit a two-run double in the fifth inning to tie the game, before hitting what […]

The Houston Astros are headed to the MLB World Series after cruising through the playoffs. After sweeping both the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees, Houston seems primed for a World Series win. However, nothing will come easy against a red hot Philadelphia Phillies ball club. There is one particular player who can provide the […]

Kyle Tucker’s breakout 2021 season helped the Houston Astros win their third pennant in five years. He earned MVP votes in manager Dusty Baker’s first full season at the helm. So far this season, though, Tucker has looked anything but the slugger that hit 30 home runs with an OPS of .917 in 140 games […]

The 2021 AL MVP race was an exciting one to the very end. The showdown for the award came down to Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani and Toronto Blue Jays infielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr., with the hardware eventually going to the former. With such an exciting race last season, there’s reason to believe […]

The Houston Astros have one of the most formidable 1-2 starting pitching combinations in all of baseball, with Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole dominating opposing hitters all year. But the rest of Houston’s starting rotation has been a mystery. Free agent signee Wade Miley has been effective (3.18 ERA in 21 starts), but Collin McHugh, […]

Normally, this conversation is not dominated by one name, but the race for the American League Rookie of the Year award in 2019 seems to be that way. The Toronto Blue Jays, sporting one of the league’s best farm systems due to high-level talent in Triple-A, are looking to bring that award north of the […]

Up to this point, the 2019 MLB offseason has really lacked that one defining moment. While there have been deals made, like the Los Angeles Dodgers – Cincinnati Reds salary swap, the James Paxton to the New York Yankees deal and the Carlos Santana trade, this offseason truly has not had that big-time deal. Last […]
