#MLB The Show

MLB The Show 22 is fast approaching the final days of its life cycle. With content basically wrapped up for the year and MLB The Show 23 releasing in a few months, I thought it was time to look back on the year and see how it all went. This article will focus on the things I enjoyed about MLB The Show 22, and a later article will talk about things…

The Cincinnati Reds have parted ways with slugger Mike Moustakas. The veteran third baseman was signed by the Reds to a four-year contract prior to the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. The signing has not worked out too well for Cincinnati, as the slugger hit for an average below.250 in each of his three seasons with the Reds and hit fewer than 10…

Pete Rose remains one of the most controversial figures in MLB history. The former Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies legend is currently banned from baseball in any capacity due to gambling issues. Rose allegedly bet on baseball games as a manager and as a player. For years, there has been a debate over whether or not Rose belongs in the…

The Kansas City Royals headed north for their series against the Toronto Blue Jays a little bit shorthanded. Due to Canada's vaccine mandate, there were several players on the Royals regular roster, 10 to be exact, who could not play as they remained unvaccinated against COVID-19. As such, the Royals came into last night's game against the Jays…

For the ninth time, and first since 2019, Major League Baseball, all 30 MLB Clubs, Minor League Clubs and other partners have organized a charity auction during Baseball's Annual Winter Meetings to benefit a special cause close to the game. The auction this year, which was spearheaded by the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros, will support the…

The legend of Cleveland Guardians rookie Steven Kwan continues to grow. Starting off his career 8-for-10 at the plate is impressive enough as it is, but there's more where that came from. Kwan has reached base 15 times as of Tuesday afternoon and has yet to swing and miss at a pitch. The young outfielder is already hitting for an impressive.692…

Along with Jacob deGrom and Carlos Rodon, Justin Verlander headlines a stacked class of free agent starting pitchers. After two seasons on the shelf, Verlander came back stronger in 2022, posting a 1.75 ERA and winning his third American League Cy Young Award in what could prove to be his final season in a Houston Astros uniform. He also won Game 5…

The New York Yankees and New York Mets appear to be in some hot water after a story was released by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic about potential violations of the CBA that the two teams may have committed when talking to free agent outfielder Aaron Judge. On Twitter, MLB columnist David Lennon posted a statement from Commissioner Rob Manfred on…

Dave Dombrowski has had a ton of success over his many years as a front office executive. Dombrowski was at the helm of the Detroit Tigers front office when they went to the World Series in 2006 and again in 2012. He also was the president of baseball operations when the Boston Red Sox won it all in 2018. Four years later, he is the general manager…

There's a new sheriff in town for the American League Central. After the Chicago White Sox failed to defend their division title from a season ago, the Cleveland Guardians came out of nowhere and with no expectations to win the AL Central in 2022. With stars such as Jose Ramirez and Shane Bieber leading the way and being buoyed by young studs such…

It always sucks when baseball season comes to an end. Fans have to wait a few months before any games are played or players even report to spring training. But that doesn't mean that baseball can't get exciting during the offseason. When free agency begins, a lot takes place. The phones are buzzing similarly to how they do at the trade…

Just a month ago, we weren't sure where St. Louis Cardinals top prospect Jordan Walker would end up. Many were theorizing that his days in the Cards organization were numbered after trade rumors about Juan Soto began circulating. Ultimately, the Cards didn't go for Soto and held onto Walker, which is looking like the right move so far. Walker…

The 2022 MLB season has been a nice, pleasant surprise for the Baltimore Orioles. A season ago, they finished 52-110, tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the worst record in all of baseball. This season, things have been quite a bit different. With the third Wild Card spot being added to both leagues as a result of the new Collective Bargaining…
