The surge is probably too late to save the Halos' season, but any chance to shine means the world to Tucker Davidson and the other Angels playing for their futures. Davidson pitched six innings of four-hit…

With the MLB trade deadline just weeks away, the baseball rumor mill is heating up.

Since everybody loves trade speculation, we…

Business remains brisk in the starting pitching marketplace. While the Cardinals have yet to make a move to improve their rotation quality or depth, other franchises have been busy.

The Baltimore Orioles head into action just a week away from the All-Star break one game under.500. Without context, hovering around.500 is no great feat.

During the Winter Meetings we all got a big laugh at Jon Heyman tweeting that "Arson Judge" was heading to the San Francisco Giants. A much bigger story dropped at almost exactly the same time when Bradford William Davis reported on Dr. Meredith Wills' latest round of research for Insider, revealing that MLB used at least two (and possibly three)…

Just being able to write about the Detroit Tigers and any sort of realistic shot at making the playoffs is so refreshing, when such thoughts have been non existent for the past five years, basically since former owner Mike Ilitch passed away.

Happy Father's Day, everyone! We need some encouragement after back-to-back terrible days. I never hide behind my losses; it's a part of the game.

The Minnesota Twins have been all over the place of late. On the heels of back-to-back American League Central division titles, the Twins collapsed in 2021.

We are one game into the 2022 season, and while Opening Day certainly did not go the way we were all hoping here at OTM, it is still a very long year and one game does not a season make.
