Yep. They may have ~$20M to spend. But free agency is not going to be a place they can look to make major impact moves. They’ll probably be...
I think it is worth noting that the final 4 teams in the playoffs all had a catcher on their roster who was a very good hitter (JT Realmuto,...
To win the WS a team needs at least 1 of these 3 things: A lineup that runs 8 deep in potential game-changing hitters A rotation that features 3...
The Padres need to shed payroll, add pitching, and get better on defense. I think a trade built around Hunter Brown and Jake Meyers could make...
A lotta luck involved in baseball so even the best players are susceptible to playoff slumps, but Tucker’s body language makes it a lot harder to...
Other thoughts entering the offseason: I don’t view Pena as more valuable than Dubon, especially when you consider versatility. The free agent...

The more time passes the more I believe it was intentional. Initially I thought there’s no way they’d bean a guy in a 2 run playoff game. But...
They know Singleton has elite power and can crush a mistake pitch. So they avoid the middle of the plate and miss outside. Singleton isn’t a...
There is only one Jose Altuve.
I hope they run Maton out there for another 10-15 pitches, hopefully they can cover the 8th and 9th with just Maton and Montero. That gives them...
‘17 Dodgers were clearly better than the ‘23 Rangers. ‘19 Nats were a better playoff team. Rangers have a deep lineup that is hot at the right...
