The Astros' offseason has been filled with disrespectful prediction after slanderous column. And we get it--people are sick of the bad boys of baseball and they are sick of their winning ways. Since 2017, the Astros have made it to the ALCS six straight seasons, won the AL West five times, appeared in four World Series and won two. Needless to say,…

For all the talk about how division races supposedly don't matter as much as they used to -- and I can think of a couple No. 1 and No. 2 seeds who would very much disagree with you -- it still means something to be able to call yourself a champion. I guarantee you there are Guardians fans who have 2022 AL Central champs shirts. It might not be the…

MLB odds series for our Guardians Red Sox prediction and pick. Cal Quantrill gets the assignment for the Guardians, while Nathan Eovaldi is the starter for the Red Sox. Cal Quantrill has a 3.75 ERA, but he has been a noticeably worse pitcher on the road. He has been a lot better at home this year. He had a choppy and uneven outing against the White…

I write this piece every year, but I never could have predicted what happened in 2021. Usually, "bold predictions" come up short because they're too bold. For instance, last year I picked Austin Slater to hit more homers than in his previous four seasons combined (he came close, missing by two!) and Duane Kuiper projected double-digit homers for…

Yesterday, I looked into how the predictions at FanGraphs, both crowdsourced and those produced by me, matched the contracts awarded to free agents this offseason.

MINNEAPOLIS -- As managerial debuts go, this was not one to remember. The same could be said for Aaron Civale's start and Bryan Shaw's relief appearance. Carl Willis saw his first game as a big-league manager go from a tie game to a 12-8 loss as the Twins scored nine runs in the fifth inning Friday night at Target Field. Civale started the fifth…

Boston's chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom entered the winter…

CHICAGO -- It's safe to say the Guardians are in scramble mode following their second COVID outbreak in less than three weeks.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - If they ever decide to start measuring baseball championships in guts and heart rather than wins and losses, Josh Naylor could be a Hall of Famer. Naylor, who beat the odds and returned from a gruesome leg injury that ended his 2021 season, gutted out a playoff win against the Yankee s on Friday with two hits and a run scored. It…

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Guardians still need a catcher. Manager Terry Francona said patience is required and that executives Chris Antonetti and Mike Chernoff will deliver a backstop. That is a good thing because as Casey Stengel said a long time ago, "If you don't have a catcher, you're going to have a lot of passed balls." The winter meetings…

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Jose Ramirez said he wanted to spend his entire career with the Guardians. Owner Paul Dolan granted him that wish by giving the switch-hitter a seven-year, $141 million contract extension. Ramirez is happy about that, but what about the Guardians' fans?

SAN DIEGO - Here's one thing that is not a secret: The Tigers, for way too long, struggled in the realm of player development. They did not produce enough international hitters. They did not find and develop international talent. When their rebuild began around 2017, the farm system was largely barren. And as has been well-documented, the Tigers…

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Gambling apps were heavily used when legal sports betting launched on Sunday, but the amount of money bet in Ohio is still a mystery - and will be for some time because of a lag in official reporting.

NEW YORK -- Josh Naylor is taking advantage of his second chance. After breaking his right leg and ankle in a collision with Ernie Clement in June at Target Field, Naylor thought his career might be over.
