Now that MLB’s All-Star Week festivities in San Diego are finished, we’re forced with the task of getting through the next couple days without any baseball. To pass the time, we’ll do what any self-respecting fan or analyst would do – look back at the first 80-90 games played and see who had the […]

Manager Terry Collins and his New York Mets had to deal with what many viewed as a potentially season-defining 11-game homestand prior to the All Star break. On the surface, they succeeded by going 7-4 against the Chicago Cubs, Miami Marlins and Washington Nationals. However, it was likely one of the most frustrating 7-4 homestands […]

Just when it looked like Houston Astros second baseman (and now four-time All-Star) Jose Altuve couldn’t get much better at the plate, he proves us wrong. Since debuting in 2011 as a 21-year-old, Altuve has displayed quite the ability to collect base hits. Not only does he already have a batting title under his belt, […]

When it comes to being a Colorado Rockies fan, there are four guarantees in life: death, taxes, lots of runs being scored at Coors Field and Carlos Gonzalez trade rumors. The only difference now is CarGo doesn’t have the pleasure of Troy Tulowitzki joining him in those rumors because he’s already gone. After posting a […]

While most people in America are preparing to celebrate the nation’s birthday, Bobby Bonilla is busy enjoying his second Christmas. The New York Mets — who are in the midst of an important home series against the Chicago Cubs — have more important things to worry about, but they’ll never be able to escape this […]

Just like beauty, MLB trade value is in the eye of the beholder. What one interested team deems as desirable may not float the next team’s boat and vice versa. The non-waiver trade deadline is at the end of July (or in this case, the beginning of August) for a reason. Not only does it […]

Each year, there are normally one or two players on each MLB team where fans think, “Man, where would this team be without this guy on the roster?” Here are some examples: How much worse would the Washington Nationals have been in 2015 without Bryce Harper’s MVP performance? Where would the New York Mets be […]

Two years ago, future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter was making his final appearances at MLB stadiums across the nation. Fans far and wide were lining up at the gates of each American League ballpark and a handful of National League stadiums to see the career-long Yankee shortstop play in that particular city one final […]

While getting off to a slow start is every ballplayer’s worst nightmare, getting off to a fast one is a dream come true. However, experiencing a great April doesn’t really matter much when the months to follow are full of struggles. Just as we recently talked about certain hitters making their slow starts a distant […]

Outside of their current five-game winning streak, the rebuilding year of 2016 has been awfully hard on the Atlanta Braves. What would make it sting a little less is finding legitimate trade value on the big-league roster – outside of Julio Teheran and Freddie Freeman, of course. When Atlanta traded away Shelby Miller to the […]

Spring is quickly turning into summer, which means one thing around Major League Baseball: the trade market is starting to heat up. What’s a little unfamiliar is seeing a catcher become the most desired target among position players, but that’s the world we live in today. After thinking about selling low last winter, the Milwaukee […]

From the moment he got drafted to the moment he officially earned his first big-league victory, this was not how Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jameson Taillon imagined it would all happen. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth the wait, though. Expectations were high within seconds of him learning he was taken with the second overall pick […]

While most MLB teams are focused on 2016, front offices around the league began diverting their attention toward the future for the next few days on Thursday night with the start of the 2016 MLB draft. Countless people dream of getting drafted by a professional baseball team, but only a very small percentage experience what it […]

Slumping to start a baseball season is every hitter’s worst nightmare, but sometimes, it’s unavoidable. No matter how good a big leaguer is, there will be times when they look like a shell of who they actually are. In hindsight, experiencing a slump earlier rather than later might actually be better because a player is forced […]
