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,...

Welcome back for the week one update of my Major League Baseball power rankings for 2025. Surely everyone agreed in harmony on my preseason rankings. All but one team from the preseason ranking stayed in the top-10, with most of the change being the rankings within the top-10. The Braves, who will be highlighted below, had the most drastic drop due to their poor start, and the Padres had the...
Good morning, Mets fans! Mets players, like Mark Vientos and David Peterson, reacted with joy to Sean Manaea’s re-signing.

The key aspect of the 2022 Mets that made them feel so invincible was this inevitability about them, a never-say-die attitude. That can only happen if...
The saying “Everything’s bigger in Texas” usually refers to the size of the state, ranches, sky, or in some cases, hair. But on Monday night, it referred to the Mets’ five-game winning streak, which extended to six behind a massive showing from at the plate. The bats exploded for 14 runs on 22 hits, resulting in a rout of the reigning World Series Champion Rangers. The...
