The New York Yankees’ six-game loss to the Houston Astros in the ALCS was not all about their pitching. They also had trouble putting a bat on the baseball, and injuries up and down the roster didn’t help. But let’s be real: the Yankees need help in their starting rotation. CC Sabathia is retiring, Masahiro […]

The Los Angeles Angels have been busy over the course of the past few offseasons. They locked up superstar outfielder Mike Trout to a record-breaking deal last winter, and they recently hired veteran manager Joe Maddon to steer the team into the future.

Even with the firing of Joe Maddon as their manager, the Chicago Cubs did right in the first place by bringing him in to right the ship back in 2015. All he managed to do was lead the team to the playoffs in four of his five seasons, including one postseason trip that resulted in […]

The American League Divisional Series kicks off on Friday afternoon, as the top-seeded Houston Astros square off against the Tampa Bay Rays. Houston steamrolled teams in the second half to clinch their third consecutive AL West title, winning an MLB-best 107 games. The Rays had to battle practically up until the last weekend just to […]

Unfortunately for MLB fans, most of the divisional races do not have much excitement entering the final few weeks of the regular season. The playoff picture is already fairly clear, with most of the drama likely to come from the Wild Card races. However, the award races are a totally different story. Christian Yelich’s broken […]

The Houston Astros look to be the only team that has multiple players in the […]

Being a first-round draft pick in the sport of baseball puts a ton of pressure on a kid, sometimes one that is just coming out of high school and completely skipping the route of going to college, making it tough for that important step of development to occur. But for Gerrit Cole, going first overall […]

Headlined by older players looking to cash in on their final big money deals, the 2019 MLB free agency class is not as strong as 2018 but still is stocked full of veterans who can make big impacts for whomever they end up signing with. A plethora of arms, both as starters and in the […]
