Remember everything I said about the National League East? Trash that and reapply it to the NL Central. That division through April looks like the real deal. Every single team is above .500 and chock full of talent. The Pirates have finally put together a competent offense behind their rotation, the Reds have finally developed a rotation behind their star-studded infield, the Cubs are mashing...
Remember when nobody wanted Munetaka Murakami? The Japanese slugger was the most sought-after foreign free agent, then statistics came out that he couldn’t hit velocity, and he had to settle for a two-year, $34 million contract with the White Sox. Well, Murakami is proving just about everyone wrong, and currently is tied with Yordan Alvarez for the major league lead in homers with 11. Oh,...
Baseball hasn’t been kind to the Big Apple. The Mets and Yankees both struggled mightily last week, costing the Bombers a few spots on the top 10 and the Mets to fall off the list. The Amazins’ have dropped nine games in a row after starting 7-4 and fundamentally look like one of the worst teams in baseball. And the Yankees got swept by the Rays, split a series with the Angels, and...
If there was one bright spot on Wednesday night, albeit an extremely dim one, it was MJ Melendez. Melendez, a former top prospect and second-round pick by the Royals back in 2017, led all of minor league baseball with 41 home runs in 2021. He made his big league debut in 2022 and showed real promise: 18 homers, 66 walks, and an OPS+ sitting at the league average. He repeated that performance for...
The 2026 season is only two weeks old, but it’s time to welcome back the Atlanta Braves. After an unusual down year in 2025, the Braves have been imposing to begin the season. They’re 9-5, lead the majors in run differential (+40), and have spawned another promising prospect in Drake Baldwin. They’re back in full force, and despite injury to their rotation, it looks like...
The first week of the 2026 season is already in the books. And lots of rookies made impacts with their teams. JJ Wetherholt has looked comfortable with St. Louis so far, taking his walks and holding second base defensively for a young and upcoming Cardinals team. Konnor Griffin signed a 9-year, $140 million extension at 19 and then promptly hit an RBI double in his first major league at-bat...
Winter is officially in the books. Even if the weather on the East Coast is still in the 40s. Baseball began Wednesday night with the Yankees defeating the Giants 7-0, kicking off an exciting 2026 season. The Dodgers still have a target on their heads coming off back-to-back World Series rings, and will look to be the first team to three-peat since the Yankees from 1998-2000. Meanwhile, the...

The news was first reported by Will Sammon of The Athletic. Bichette is the Mets’ answer after losing the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes to the Dodgers. Bichette is a career .294 batter who hit .311/.357/.483/.840 with 18 home...
The trumpets have officially left Flushing, and according to Edwin Díaz, leaving New York behind was ultimately a relatively straightforward decision. Díaz was introduced as a Dodger wearing No. 3, formally closing the door on a seven-year run with the Mets. For fans hoping for additional drama, Díaz dismissed that notion, instead framing the move less as a breakup and more as a step toward...
