I’m sure whoever once said that the MLB season is a marathon, not a sprint had good intentions. But that person clearly never witnessed the mayhem that has been the last two weeks of baseball. From two 105+ win teams racing to avoid a winner-takes-all wild card game to the enticing potential for a five-way

If you could travel back in time to April of 2016 and tell any Cubs fan that they would not have put Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo or Javier Baez on a long term contract by the year 2021, they would have called you crazy. The core that took them to their first World Series win

There has arguably never been a more relieving Opening Day than 2021. After the longest year of almost everyone’s life, things are finally starting to get closer to normal again. Major League Baseball is the latest example. A full 162-game season. Fans returning to ballparks across the league. The Yankees probably being dominant, much to

The wait is finally over. Entering our last week without Major League baseball until next fall, now seems as good a time as ever to look forward to the upcoming season and predict how the full season and the playoffs will play out all the way until the Fall Classic. AL East Division Winner: New

Lost in the shuffle of all the major events in the sports world that have happened recently, this year’s MLB offseason has been one of the craziest in recent memory. Many teams, using the pandemic as an excuse to cut spending, traded away star players who were on expiring contracts, and contenders loaded up for

The return of Major League Baseball a few weeks ago was truly a blessing to me. It was the first time in months that I was able to sit on my couch in the evening and watch a sport that I truly love. While boxing, golf and a few other sports had been televised, there

On Oct. 24, the ESPN Stats and Info Twitter account tweeted an attempt to show how dominant the Los Angeles Dodgers have been in the postseason leading up to the World Series. The tweet read: “The Dodgers are 7-1 this postseason. The 1998 Yankees are the only team in the Wild Card Era to win

The Chicago White Sox signed free agent shortstop Jimmy Rollins to a minor-league contract yesterday. This move made White Sox fans like me ask a question we have been asking this franchise for a while now: why? With Rollins’ signing, the Sox are most likely not going to attempt to sign free agent shortstop Ian

And the award for most interesting division race before any MLB team has played 20 games goes to … the American League Central. Calling it a “race” might be a stretch because there is still a marathon’s worth of games left to play. There’s a lot of time for teams to fade, and there always

There should be an award for MLB’s best offseason acquisition. I guess there is, when the bold move pays off the next season in the form of a pennant or World Series title. Until then, the moves are just big and bold, not necessarily best. They don’t all pan out, and sometimes a team ends
