Kevin McGonigle JUST missed a grand slam on this swing, hooking it foul before lining out sharply to end the inning.

Based on the free agent signing predictions I've seen I appear to be in the extreme minority, but does anyone else think Bo Bichette's anticipated market is being exaggerated, and that many teams may not consider him a shortstop at all and would have no interest in paying him as such?

It's funny that one pitch before Gimenez was trying to get hit. Then immediately gets upset when the next pitch hits him. Baseball!

These are all of the pitchers who threw a slider with arm side run in 2025. Yesavage's slider is truly unique.

I know it's a thing, but a slider with arm-side run still wrinkles my brain.

I know it's the AFL and he's not on the 40-man, but is it crazy to think Max Anderson gets some run as the Tigers starting 2B this year?

It certainly feels like a charmed existence when both of your fantasy teams (1 dynasty, 1 redraft) are facing Baker and Saquon this week (both on a bye).

Last month, I sat down with Mental Performance Coach Adam Bernero to learn about his approach to helping the Mariners mental game. Today, they play one of the most important games in franchise history. Whatever else they are doing to prepare, I'm confident barefoot walks are included.

I will say this again and again until the cap fetishists get it. There is a 1:1 correlation between "leagues that have broken their unions" and "leagues with a payroll cap." Let that be a clue as to who wins in a cap system.

It's kind of funny saying José Caballero just missed it, as if he's ever hit a homer to center in his life.

It's hard to overstate the bargain that Pivetta's contract is for the Padres. It confused me all offseason that he didn't have any suitors, and 4 years $55M felt like a no brainier for nearly every team!

The answer is James Outman!
If you stretch to 75 PA in September (Outman barely makes the cut at 50), the top 5 is:
Judge
Ohtani
Raleigh
Schwarber
???
Any guesses on #5?
