Who will sign one of the most controversial, premier free agents in baseball?

They may not have the same upside as some of the top names on this year's free agent market, but these three arms could prove to be a bargain for interested teams.

What we learned from the Department of Justice's indictment of two pitchers, and what it means for baseball, and perhaps, America.

In his latest USA Today column, MLB insider Bob Nightengale insists that the Miami Marlins have modified their stance regarding veteran right-hander Sandy Alcantara. "The Marlins never got the offer they wanted to move their former Cy Young winner," Nightengale writes referring to trade talks t...

The Twins are (pardon the pun) short at the shortstop position. Brooks Lee is, frankly, the only player in the organization who has shown any indication that he may be a viable MLB shortstop in 2026, and even he has played at replacement level across 712 plate appearances in two seasons, slashing .2...

When you think of the great teams in Twins history, you quickly think of outstanding and iconic hitters who anchored the lineup from the three-hole: Tony Oliva in 1965. Kirby Puckett in 1987 and 1991. Joe Mauer in 2006. Nelson Cruz in 2019. In the modern MLB landscape, the distinction of a No....

The Padres have a few needs to address this offseason, but a front-end starter is the top priority. Budget limitations leave around $52 million in Competitive Balance Tax Space (25th among MLB teams), so they must be selective in their free-agent signings. This offseason, the Padres lost...

Major League Baseball's revenue-sharing model was created to level the platform all teams play from, without completely removing the incentive for some clubs to seek stronger financial positions and revenue sources. The idea is that the Dodgers and Yankees need a sturdy competitive landscape to exis...

Star talent coming over from Japan can have a tremendous effect on a team - just ask the World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. It’s hard to imagine them having the same success without their trio of Japanese stars. And while 25-year-old corner infielder Munetaka Murakami isn’t nearly the...

In February of 2023, star slugger Kazuma Okamoto was clubbing home runs for the World Baseball Classic champion Samurai Japan team on a global stage. In 2026, he could be popping bombs over the green monster for the Boston Red Sox. He may not be the biggest name in the free agent class this of...

In the following paragraphs, you will find a list of pending free agents, players with contract options, and a detailed timeline of the MLB offseason.

I’ve always been a sneaker head. (My heels are reserved for special occasions.) Throughout my adult life, I've moved between various apartments, with shoes (and books) making up the bulk of my belongings. Shoes can elevate a simple outfit. When meeting someone for the first time, their shoes are one...

After the Red Sox’s short postseason run, it’s clear the team needs a No. 2 pitcher for their rotation. Domestically, the 2025-26 free-agent starting pitcher class is headlined by quality yet red-flag-laden pitchers, such as Zac Gallen (30), Dylan Cease (29), Michael King (30), and Framber Valdez (3...

Before this series began, we took a look at how the Blue Jays might manage their rotation. I floated a number of names as potential Game 2 starters, including Trey Yesavage, but ultimately landed on Chris Bassitt for the second game and penciled Yesavage in for Game 4. Well, now that we have two gam...

In early 2024, a significant number of high-profile pitchers were sidelined due to injuries, prompting media outlets to speculate about a possible epidemic. Baseball players, the MLBPA, and MLB listed different sources of the issue: the pitch clock, the rise of movement-heavy pitches, and pitchers t...

On Tuesday, MLB’s Joint Competition Committee voted to implement the ABS Challenge System that teams and fans saw in spring training this season. Something of a compromise between true robo-umps and the system baseball uses today, the arrangement will allow hitters, catchers, or pitchers to challeng...

With ABS coming to Major League Baseball in 2026, here are eight clips of borderline pitches that were challenged during Triple-A Jacksonville games this season. MLB's challenge system will be using the same technology.

Sports writers and fans frequently refer to the “magic number” of a playoff-bound team as a simple measure of how close the team is to clinching a playoff position (or a divisional championship). This represents the number of wins (by the leading team) or losses (by the next-closest competitor) requ...

Teams are drafting under-the-radar pitchers who evolve into aces at the major league level. Many of baseball’s current aces were selected in later rounds of the draft. Tarik Skubal was a ninth-round pick in 2018, Joe Ryan was a seventh-round pick in 2018, Bryan Woo was a sixth-round pick in 2021, an...

Perhaps more than ever, speed is an essential component of contemporary baseball. This wasn’t the case 15 years ago. From 2010-19, league-wide stolen base totals steadily dropped. With the shortened pandemic season, they hit an all-time low, but in the following years, they started to make a comebac...

This Miami Marlins team is not quite good enough to be playing meaningful games throughout September, but a lot of the individual pieces look like long-term contributors, and that makes this 2025 season an important step in the right direction. It was a quiet trade deadline for the Fish and it could...
