#Robert Hassell III

The Los Angeles Dodgers were busy during the 2022 MLB trade deadline as they made five deals and explored numerous other possibilities. However, they fell short of acquiring Juan Soto despite some growing optimism for a deal. The Washington Nationals ultimately sent Soto and Josh Bell to the San Diego Padres for a package of Major League talent and…

With the acqusition of Juan Soto, the chances of the San Diego Padres to win the world series have skyrocketed. One move has elevated the shot of a World Series for a team that was teetering on the brink of success. The San Diego Padres have improved their odds with their trade to get Juan Soto and Josh Bell from the Washington Nationals. According…

With the All-Star break in the rearview, the 2022 MLB season is about to kick into high gear.

It's time for the second (we hope) annual Unofficial Futures Game Batting Practice Home Run Derby Draft (UFGBPHRDD?)! Last year, Jim Callis and I drafted XMSirius All-Star Futures Game players and tracked how many home runs each hit during batting practice, somewhat formalizing what's been an unofficial hobby for years.

The TinCaps concluded their season Sunday with a 50-80 record. It was the team's worst mark in the 13 seasons since moving into Parkview Field, and it had fewer victories in a 132-game schedule (there were two rainouts) than it had in a 120-game slate last year.
