This is one of baseball's most exciting weekends for those who follow and love the MLB draft process. Later today is the All-Star Futures Game, where two Blue Jays prospects Ricky Tiedemann and Yosver Zulueta made the roster and could potentially pitch an inning or two in the game at some point through the day (start time 4. p.m. PT). On Monday the…

The hardest part of breaking up is usually moving on. For the Cubs, the hardest part was how long the relationship dragged on. Chicago's clubhouse had to be a really uncomfortable place last season. The writing was on the wall like a big graffiti art piece that the team was going to undergo a lot of changes. The core of the 2016 World Series team…

What was expected to be a long organizational rebuild by the Milwaukee Brewers quickly shifted into overdrive late last January when, in a 24-hour span, they traded for Christian Yelich and signed Lorenzo Cain to the largest free agent contract in team history. The moves couldn't have worked out better. Both were named to the All-Star Team, and…

Sorry, I have no news to break about any Orioles signings or trades. The club has remained quiet in the early goings of the MLB offseason, but then, so have most other teams. Only one notable signing occurred yesterday, with the Orioles' division rival Rays signing veteran righty Zach Eflin, formerly of the Phillies, to a three-year, $39 million…

The teardown of the Orioles began in July as they spiraled deeper into last place in the American League East. The task of rebuilding was next on the docket and ensured that they wouldn't contend again for at least a few years. There's no timetable given and no reason to believe in a quick fix. Changes have ripped apart the organization like a…

Are you kidding me?? Last night made my head spin. We took the over in Astros and Red Sox, which looked dead through seven innings. The Red Sox scored three runs late in the game, which edged out a win by half a run. I was feeling good! Massive comeback by the Red Sox, and all we needed was a scoreless fifth inning from the Dodgers and…

With another baseball season beginning, it's time for our baseball writers to weigh in with their boldest and best predictions. What team are poised to surprise? Which players will break out?

It is safe to say that many Atlanta Braves fans hope that Dansby Swanson will be in a Braves uniform in 2023. However, there is at least a possibility that this may happen. What will be the Braves' contingency plan if a deal does not get done? Dansby Swanson, although cooled off as of late, is easily having his best season as an MLB player for…

With the 2022 MLB season only two days away, there's still speculation about who will make the Chicago Cubs Opening Day roster and how the lineup will look. How does it all shake out? Without an inside source, it's difficult to say, but I'm going to take a crack at it. This season, teams will start the year with 28-man rosters to help offset…
