Look, I understand my job each week in my quizzes is to educate, illuminate and entertain you (and occasionally frustrate you as you attempt to go 9-for-9). I'm definitely not here to bring you down, even in a memorial for those we lost in 2022. I look at it more as a celebration of their lives and hopefully give you something to further remember…

MLB odds series for our White Sox Mariners prediction and pick. Johnny Cueto gets the ball for the White Sox, while Logan Gilbert will start for the Mariners. Johnny Cueto has been outstanding for the White Sox in 2022. His ERA for the year is 2.93, but that doesn't begin to tell the full story. Cueto has pitched eight full innings on several…

The Detroit Tigers were supposed to be better than this. The team had a promising season last year, winning 77 games against all odds and taking the best teams in baseball to task.

As you know, predicting baseball is a fool's errand. It's also the most common activity of sportswriters during the offseason. When they're not writing about which team Carlos Correa signed with today, they're writing about what's going to happen in the coming season. Or, in the case of Will Leitch at MLB.com, what's going to happen in the next ten…

First shortstop Carlos Correa was going to leave the Minnesota Twins to sign a 13-year, $350 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. But concerns over Correa's earlier ankle injury prompted the Giants to back out of the deal after setting up the news conference to announce it. Awkward! That prompted billionaire fanboy Steve Cohen to swoop…

SAN DIEGO -- "What does it mean?" That is a question the Giants asked themselves over and over again for the last month, through endless rumors, eye-popping quotes in a magazine article, a misspelled and misinformed tweet, and a 13-second video that rocked the baseball world a few days before Thanksgiving. For months, the Giants had prepared to…

Bryan Reynolds, an All-Star center fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, made a formal trade request earlier this month after the two parties were unable to come to terms on an extension. Here, the Pirates hold the most sway. Reynolds' contract will be managed by the team, and they don't appear to be interested in trading him. Far before Reynolds…

Renowned New York Yankees hitter Lou Gehrig once famously dressed up as Tarzan in 1936, presumably to kick off a career in the movies. Nicknamed the "Iron Horse," Gehrig had a swashbuckling look about him on set with a mace in hand and clad in leopard skin. The costumes and props perfectly epitomized Gehrig, who was an extremely dangerous hitter on…

Losing is never fun. Unfortunately for Aaron Sanchez, he and the Blue Jays have gotten used to it: They're an abysmal 5-16 in his 21 starts this season.

You can't go into the All-Star break on a higher note than the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners beat the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park on Sunday (SEA 6, TEX 2) to extend their winning streak to 14 games.
