#Lance Lynn

The Los Angeles Dodgers are still in a position to compete despite their quiet offseason. But they could drastically increase their World Series odds by pulling the trigger on a high-profile trade. The MLB trade market has moved fairy slow for the most part with the exception of a few deals. With that being said, could the Dodgers stun the MLB…

What-if scenarios about the past aren't very useful exercises for baseball executives who need to deal with the here and now and know about 25 other potential moves that almost came to fruition for every one that slips out to the public. And they're the sort of thing we really dwell on only when the road that was taken proves to be very bumpy. A…

There are only 188 days in a Major League Baseball season - the White Sox spent 152 of them in first place last season. From May 7 through Oct. 3, Chicago led the AL Central and had a double-digit lead for all but two days from Aug. 7 on. The division is a bit better in 2022, as the Tigers and Twins have made some free-agent moves and smart…

With MLB free agency winding down, the league is beginning to take shape. Some teams have drastically improved their chances of competing in 2023 based on swift offseason moves. The New York Mets just pulled off a stunner to land Carlos Correa after the shortstop had previously agreed to a deal with the San Francisco Giants. Other teams such as the…

The Chicago White Sox entered the 2022 MLB season as the clear favorites to win the American League Central division. Chicago was seemingly leaps and bounds above everyone else in the Central.

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…

One of the worst things about sports this time of the year is when people compare TV ratings for different sports. Talking about TV ratings, in general, is a worthless enterprise, though there is an audience for it. I think it's because sports fans, to no surprise, like to know who the winners and losers are. Even if the numbers are made up and…

To wit: According to Baseball Prospectus odds, no team in the 2021 playoff field has better than a 20 percent chance to win the World Series. With eight deserving teams ready to do battle, let's dive into the reasons each particular team…

The MLB free-agency and trade market dominoes have continued to fall at a dizzying pace since the lockout was lifted as teams try to fit three months' worth of offseason activity into just a few weeks.

During their Scary Stretch, from July 28 to August 10, a fourteen-game stretch when the Mariners faced the Astros and Yankees twice, the team went 7-7. They opened that stretch by losing a series against Houston in pretty deflating fashion, including a 1-11 loss to Verlander and the Astros, but dusted themselves off, went into the Big Apple, and…

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Perhaps one day Hunter Gaddis will regale his friends and grandchildren about his days in the big leagues. But the conversation will probably not include the events of Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022 at Progressive Field. Gaddis, recalled from Class AAA Columbus to fill out an injured rotation during a treacherous stretch of games for…

The big day is finally here. Opening Day in Detroit, and we're going to have a good time.

The new year gives us a time to reflect on the past, as well as on what the future has to offer. We recently…

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. Alas, the lockout rages on with no end in sight. But that doesn't mean we can't still look ahead to how the 2022 season might shake out once MLB and the MLBPA put an end…

The White Sox will not market this season as "World Series or Bust," but that's the between-the-lines message the team's front office delivered during a stunning offseason. You don't recruit Tony La Russa, 76, back into the dugout after a decade away to replace a guy (Rick Renteria) who finished second in American League Manager of the Year voting…

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?

Making World Series futures bets can be a treacherous endeavour due to the unpredictability of the MLB playoffs. Last year's 88-win Atlanta Braves provided a concrete example of that.

The master pitching plan, at least on the development side, appears to be taking shape for the Rangers.

Had they gone to TCU, South Carolina, and Texas A&M, which were their intended college…
