#Elvis Andrus

We are less than two weeks into the 2023 calendar year, but we've got bold predictions of a litany of things that will go down in Major League Baseball over the course of the next 11.5 months. Most of our predictions are about things that will happen during the 2023 MLB season, of course. A breakout rookie. An unlikely MVP. A surprise AL West…

Elvis Andrus and the Chicago White Sox take the field against Seth Brown and the Oakland Athletics on Sunday at 4:07 PM ET, in the final of a four-game series at Oakland Coliseum. The White Sox have a league-leading.263 batting average. The Athletics average just 7.5 strikeouts per nine innings as a pitching staff, which ranks 27th in the…

Believe it or not, Red Sox spring training opens in just about five weeks. The roster is not complete quite yet, but the large majority of the 2023 team has already been put together, and it looks quite different than the group that last took the field at Fenway Park in early October. Boston's chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom entered the winter…

New year, new me. Prior to Thanksgiving, I was hovering around 190 pounds. Checked in this morning at a solid 192.6 butt ass naked. I liken the 2.6 pound weight gain over the last 6-7 weeks to going to the casino and only losing like $100 on the night. Sure, you technically lost, but you only lost $100, so it's also technically a win. To only put…

The Chicago White Sox will try to stay hot when they visit the Oakland Athletics at 4:07pm ET Sunday in the third game of a four-game series at RingCentral Coliseum. The White Sox (71-68, 37-32) beat the Athletics for the second straight night Friday, 5-3, and have won eight of their last 10 games. The Athletics (50-89, 22-47 home) are on a…

The first year of Javier Baez's six-year, $140 million contract with the Detroit Tigers did not go particularly well. He had his worst season if you don't count 2020. He had just a 90 wRC+ and a 2.0 fWAR. His erratic throwing arm led to 26 errors. It was a rough go of it for the former All-Star. Because of this, many Tigers fans already want to…

Two years of going for it and another with the best intentions - if not the all-in financial expenditures - led the Texas Rangers to a point of no return last season. By June, the decision was made that the Rangers would be rebuilding, and 2019 will be more of the same from the team that won back-to-back American League West titles in 2015-16. And…

The one good thing that can be said of the A's as they go into yet another rebuild is that top baseball men Billy Beane and David Forst have walked this path before. They know the pitfalls, and they know that teams don't take a straight line back to the top. Rather, they get better or worse by fits and starts. The A's enter 2022 without popular and…

Aaron Judge is staying put, Trea Turner is headed back to the National League East, Jacob deGrom and Justin Verlander are switching state income taxes and Willson Contreras is changing sides in a heated National League Central rivalry... that's just a taste of the flurry of moves. MLB's first in-person Winter Meetings in three years was a veritable…

There is a strong possibility that this time next week, Oakland Athletics pitcher Frankie Montas will be on a new team. But one of the hot names on the trade market will have at least one more start at Oakland Coliseum before he departs, as he will be on the mound tonight as the A's continue their series against the Houston Astros. With the A's at…

After a season that could have been special, the Oakland A's will be hard-pressed to post the second-best record in the American League once again in 2021. The A's are still in position to contend, even with two of their main guys, shortstop Marcus Semien and closer Liam Hendriks, elsewhere after a disappointing team stumble in the ALDS against the…

In their 50th season in Texas, it's entirely possible the Rangers will flirt with 100 losses for the first time since 1973. The roster was thin to start with and a number of spring training injuries, particularly in the bullpen, put them in an extra perilous position. The schedule, studded with long stretches against contenders, works against them.…

With less than a month to go in the regular season, there is plenty of MLB playoff intrigue to go around. Will the New York Mets hold on in the NL East?

We all saw it. We all were irritated by it. We all had our optimism come crashing down to Earth. This was the 2022 Chicago White Sox. A team that told us they were in the heart of their "contention window" saw everything possible go wrong leaving them on the outside looking in when it came to October. The team's problems were easy to diagnose. A…

You don't need me to tell you that the 2022 Chicago White Sox significantly underperformed against expectations, but I'll do it anyways: the 2022 Chicago White Sox significantly underperformed against expectations and the 2022-2023 offseason is critical in retooling the roster in pursuit of not only returning to the postseason, but winning their…
