It is not often that one of the 30 MLB teams comes up for sale, as there aren’t many seats at the exclusive table of MLB ownership. Despite the uncertain future of Major League Baseball, amid the pandemic, it looks like there is still plenty of interest in the New York Mets for the Wilpons to receive a competitive offer for their franchise. Yesterday it was reported that July 9th was set...
Sometimes the grass isn’t greener. New York Mets star Darryl Strawberry wishes he never signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Dodgers after spending the first eight years of his career with the New York Mets. Telling SNY in an interview on Tuesday… “It was heartbreaking leaving the Mets. That was the biggest mistake I really ever made in my career was leaving New York to...
While perusing Baseball Savant at 1 a.m. a couple of nights ago, just like any normal quarantined college student would be doing, I came across Marcus Stroman’s profile. Fiddling around with the columns, I noticed Stroman has done particularly well in MLB.com’s sweet spot metric (SwSp%) throughout the last few seasons. Upon closer look, I noticed that those who finished top-10 in the...

Without going into each of the ways, because anyone who watched already knows, the game should be recognized as one of the greatest deciding-game performances for all that effort and...
