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…

Rays officials couldn't have been much more pleased with how the 2019 season turned out. They made it to the playoffs for the first time in six seasons as the core of young players they cleared room for in previous roster reshaping developed into impact players, and they boasted openly about how well set up they were for the future. "There's so…

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…

The 2022 MLB season marks the sixth consecutive season where manager Craig Counsell and the Milwaukee Brewers are looking to finally break through in the National League.

The moment that echoed into last offseason occurred during the 2021 wild card game vs. the Yankees, an afternoon that saw baseball roar back to Boston like a time machine to 2003, or a house dropped on a witch of the wicked variety. Bobby Dalbec batted against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole and Fenway Park thundered his name. It was the moment when…

Lorenzo Cain's improbable career may be winding to a close, as the former All-Star was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. Cain's production had slipped in recent years from his All-Star seasons of 2015 and 2018 and his Gold Glove award of 2019. The fan-favorite was a key player on the Brewers' playoff run in 2018, which…

There's not really anything new I can add about the Milwaukee Brewers. They are the only competition in the NL Central. The Cubs, Reds, and Pirates are all competing to not be in last place, all within a game of each other. They are 15.5 games back of the 2nd place Brewers. The Brewers, after beating the Rays in both games, are just 0.5 games back…

The Boston Red Sox open up the 2022 regular season with high expectations.The team overachieved a year ago and surprised many by making it all the way to the American League Championship Series. The signing of Trevor Story this offseason only raises expectations higher. Let's preview the Boston Red Sox season and consider the projected lineup, the…

The Milwaukee Brewers appear to be a team in transition. They entered the 2022 season with the hopes of parlaying dominant pitching with just enough production from a veteran lineup into a deep October run. Milwaukee largely held serve through the first half and weathered an extended injury absence from Freddy Peralta and a one-month IL-stint…

Putting the Justin Verlander and Trea Turner contracts into perspective Justin Verlander signed a two-year deal with the Mets worth $86 milion, while Trea Turner signed an 11-year deal worth $300 million. Any way you cut it, it's a lot of money: Cody Bellinger is a free agent. Though it's unlikely, he could still return to Dodgers The Dodgers had…

Following a subpar season from the Los Angeles Angels, it was time that the front office addressed the organization's flaws. Although the Angels tenant two of the biggest studs in the game, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, the longing for a winning environment didn't seem to permeate throughout the roster. Just two weeks ago, in an effort to solidify…

We swept again! Another perfect 2-0 day to bring our record in June to 6-1. We have won five straight bets, and as I said a few days ago, I'm feeling the tides turning.

The Matt Arnold era as General Manager is here, and it's almost like David Stearns never left. On Friday, the Brewers traded second baseman Kolten Wong to the Seattle Mariners for infielder Abraham Toro and known Brewer-killer Jesse Winker. After trading Hunter Renfroe to the Los Angeles Angels for pitching depth and prospects, it appears the…

Last year's star-studded free-agent shortstop class is followed by another one, possibly even better than the previous. This one includes four of the top-10 players in fWAR among shortstops, including Dansby Swanson, who ranked second (6.4). Swanson is one of the best defensive shortstops in the game, ranking second in defensive runs above average.…

Matt Arnold has been busying adding new pitchers to the Brewers staff this offseason. Unfortunately, none of these new acquisitions are proven MLB contributors, in fact a few have not yet made their big league debuts. That begs the question as to which one of these new pitchers will have the greatest impact in 2023? So far, the Brewers have added…

With the Milwaukee Brewers 2022 season set to start on Thursday, it is that time again to give my previews and predictions for each team in the NL Central. With Spring Training finished, the rosters for each team are essentially set and the players that each team have will be the ones they will roll with into the season. For the second year in a…

The Los Angeles Angels have made three big moves this offseason, acquiring three players to fill three big holes they had. Tyler Anderson is a guy they can plug at the top of their rotation. Hunter Renfroe is the corner outfielder this team was lacking. Gio Urshela provides much-needed infield depth. They shouldn't be done adding, but I think most…

The Milwaukee Brewers' offense was running on all cylinders when the Chicago Cubs were in town back in late April, producing 20 runs and 25 hits over the first two contests of the three-game series. Milwaukee belted nine home runs in those outings, both victories, while limiting Chicago to one run in each. The National League Central-leading…

In a battle between rookies making their MLB debuts on the mound, which team has the edge?

The Chicago Cubs are coming off of a loss in extra innings to their crosstown rivals, the Chicago White Sox, on…

The Milwaukee Brewers have already made waves this offseason, as the departure of David Stearns from President of Baseball Operations sent shockwaves through the MLB offseason. Couple that with the recent trade of Hunter Renfroe to the Los Angeles Angels for what looks like a money-saving move, and you have the makings of a wild offseason for the…

It is decreed in the ancient scrolls. Despite employing two of the greatest ballplayers in history, the Angels cannot finish higher than.500. It's an immutable law of baseball physics that cannot be bent or broken, but that won't stop the club from trying. Early in the offseason, they've been the most active MLB team, signing Tyler Anderson and…

The Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox face off in a Spring Training matchup at the Red Sox spring home, JetBlue Park at Fenway Park South, in Fort Myers, Florida.

With the Super Bowl now in the rearview mirror and March Madness still weeks away, this would normally be the time of year when talk of the upcoming MLB season starts to heat up.

Why are the Milwaukee Brewers consensus favorites in the NL Central for 2022 ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals?

The Los Angeles Angels will be traveling to the American Family Fields of Phoenix on March 31, to take on the Milwaukee Brewers in a Spring Training game. We will get to see reigning MVP Shohei Ohtani take the mound in what is likely to be his last Spring Training appearance as a pitcher, as he has already been announced as the MLB Opening Day…

Could the Boston Red Sox stab their rival New York Yankees in the back by stealing the face of their franchise? Oddsmakers could see it happening. The Red Sox are far from the odds-on favorite to land Judge, but they certainly are in the running. Logically, the Yankees are the favorite to retain their star slugger, with -165 odds on DraftKings…

The Chicago Cubs (8-13) play the Milwaukee Brewers (14-7), who will be attempting to extend a three-game winning run, Sunday at 2:10 PM ET, at American Family Field.

The Boston Red Sox made five additions to their 40-man roster to protect prospects from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft. Those prospects were Ceddanne Rafaela, Chris Murphy, Brandon Walter, Wilyer Abreu, and David Hamilton. All of those players are ranked inside my top 30 Boston Red Sox prospects after the 2022 season. On the surface, those are…

The Blue Jays made the first big move of the MLB offseason, sending All-Star outfield Teoscar Hernandez to the Mariners. What motivated the move? The Toronto Blue Jays had the best offense in the American League and had almost all of their position players returning in 2023. The Blue Jays lineup was too right-handed heavy and making a trade was the…

Nolan Gorman started things off in the first inning by decimating a 2-2 pitch…

The annual MLB general manager meetings were held last week in Las Vegas, and the event is traditionally the rumor-filled calm before the storm. (It's also not to be confused with the winter meetings, which will take place in San Diego from Dec. 4-7 and is when a ton of wheeling and dealing goes down.) Free agents couldn't sign with new teams until…
