Add another bat to the trade market – Texas Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland is apparently attracting plenty of interest as we enter the final week and a half before the trade deadline. But according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox, Texas isn’t inclined to move Moreland. The Rangers are drawing significant interest in first baseman […]

On Tuesday morning, ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick posted a tweet from a MLB executive that had everybody questioning the minds of the New York Mets’ front office. A MLB exec on

Singers can’t catch breaks at baseball events these days. Actor Corey Feldman, known prominently for roles in Lost Boys and The Goonies, was singing at an event for the State College Spikes, a Short Season-A affilate of the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night, and apparently things didn’t go so well. Here’s video of the […]

The Detroit Tigers are struggling this year. The reigning four-time AL Central champions are at .500, 46-46, through 92 games, and are actually closer to being in last place in the AL Central (three games ahead of the White Sox) than being a playoff team (four games behind the Twins and Astros for the AL […]

The dust had barely settled on Todd Frazier’s 2015 Home Run Derby trophy. One series after they celebrated the All-Star Game festivities on their home field, the Reds appear ready to blow things up and start over. Johnny Cueto could be the biggest pitcher traded in the next two weeks (he’s the only NL pitcher […]

The dysfunctional Philadelphia Phillies might hold off on dealing their best trade chip over the next two weeks. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, it’s not a guarantee that Cole Hamels will be dealt before the trade deadline, and that incoming team president Andy MacPhail could wait until the winter. I actually […]

Baseball saw its share of great games in the first half of 2015, from a couple of no-hitters and high strike out totals on the pitching side of things to a bunch of multi-homer games from the hitters. There were a few historically good showings thrown in for good measure, too. But which individual players […]

To say Seattle Mariners catchers have been “abysmal” is disrespectful to the word abysmal. Just how bad have Mariners backstops been? The club’s collective catchers are batting .150. The Mets (.176), Reds (.174), Giants (.165) and Nationals (.160) pitching staffs (> 100+ plate appearances) all have better averages at the plate. That’s horrendous. Seattle hoped 24-year-old Mike […]

The second half of the 2015 MLB season begins on Friday, with four of the six division races still close and looming dogfights for those second wild-card spots in each league. As always, that should make for some compelling baseball during the final two-and-a-half months on the regular season schedule. Of course, the trade deadline […]

Each week, we count down the five longest home runs from the week that was. With only a three game sample size to work with (and the Home Run Derby, which we’re totally not breaking down), this week’s feature will be kicked back to next week. Thusly, we decided to instead recap the ten (well, […]

Yesterday, before the All-Star Game, Commissioner Rob Manfred was doing his typical “state of the union” luncheon with the BBWAA. It was pretty much all the standard talking points you’d expect from him: fan safety improvements, progress on the pace of play, making instant replay reviews faster and how the league is open to the idea of […]

We’ve reached the midway point of the 2015 season, and though we dished out awards earlier this week, how about a more objective view of the best and worst players of the first half? Sure. a lot of the names will be the same, but we’re also going to be pointing the finger at some […]

The American League knocked off the National League 6-3 in Tuesday night’s All-Star Game, their third straight win in the midsummer classic. The AL champion will now have homefield advantage in October’s World Series. The win went to David Price and the loss went to Clayton Kershaw, who allowed two runs on three hits in […]
