When Felix Bautista went down last August with a right elbow injury necessitating Tommy John surgery, it created a mountain-sized hole at the back of the Orioles' bullpen. Uncertainty emerged. Over the offseason, some of that uncertainty was assuaged when the Orioles signed veteran closer and future Hall of Famer...

The New York Yankees seemingly crushed the trade deadline by acquiring utility player Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Miami Marlins. The Yankees put Chisholm at third base, a position he never played before, and saw some solid results. But this week, the Yankees saw Chisholm suffer a UCL injury in his left elbow after sliding into home plate in the team's 12-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox.

A quick look at the standings will tell you all you need to know about the Milwaukee Brewers' big league roster. Things are going smooth as butter for the Crew, as they're 69-52 with the second-best run differential in the NL and a nine-game lead over the Reds and Cardinals in the standings.

Kansas City, MO

Riding a four game winning streak, and cooking on offense, the Reds delivered a dud. Sounds all too familiar. So much for .500 and that win streak. The Royals led 3-1 in the 9th, before dropping a four spot on Fernando Cruz, including a three run bomb by Vinnie Pasquantino. The blast followed an intentional walk to Bobby Witt Jr., who'd had three hits. Still not sure why Bell sent back out for a 2nd inning, for just second time all season, with the bullpen coming off a day off.

In New York Mets trade deadline history, there aren’t too many instances where the team sold and came away victorious. Many of the franchise’s midseason swaps that are memorable involved the team buying, not selling. They’ve sold plenty of prospects who would become All-Stars elsewhere. Rarely have they snagged a youngster who became a cornerstone or even a regular in the major leagues.

The season is three-quarters complete, and the Brewers are in the throes of a playoff race, but that doesn’t stop some of us (myself included) from considering the future. What are the fates of key free agents - such as Willie Adames? Will the team make a big free-agent splash? What rookies will make an impact going forward?

The MLB batting average is near a half-century low while pitch velocity has reached an all-time high. That’s the snapshot of baseball in 2024, and it’s a crucial one for fans who want to understand the modern game. Of course, it’s not that black and white.As velocities have soared, fans might expect hitters to keep pace, improving contact rates and power. After all, if pitchers throw harder, shouldn’t hitters hit it farther? The answer is both yes and no. Heading into Friday's games, Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees led MLB in average exit velocity (how fast, in miles per hour,...

Why traditional MLB stats no longer define a good offense

On Friday, the Colorado Rockies decided to release 2023 All-Star Game MVP catcher Elias Díaz. After catcher Drew Romo was promoted to the big leagues, the Rockies decided it would be best to cut Díaz. This gives him a chance to play for a contender. While this move is an honorable one by Colorado, it was also a little senseless. There’s no doubt many teams would have paid a decent package to acquire the All-Star catcher. Why didn’t the Rockies trade the 33-year-old catcher at the MLB trade deadline on July 30th? It seems a bit silly to release one of the best defensive backstops of this season and a guy who’s held it down in the lineup for the past few years. Now a free agent, Diaz could have an opportunity to actually play for a winning ball club and head deep into the postseason.

The Rockies Should Have Traded, Not Released, Their All-Star Catcher

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Masyn Winn, Alec Burleson and Nolan Arenado homered and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 on Saturday night to snap a five-game losing streak. “It was good to put everything together with the start, the bullpen, the defense and, obviously, the offense,” Burleson said. “We just need to do that consistently here until the end and let it shake out how it’s going to.” Andre Pallante (5-6) allowed two runs on four hits in seven innings. JoJo Romero pitched a scoreless eighth inning, and Ryan Helsley had a perfect ninth inning for his major league- leading 38th save. “He’s been really consistent,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said about Pallante. “We’re continuing to see him get better and better as the season goes. Just more confident too. There’s a certain presence to him that he continues to build off of. He’s making pitches against tough hitters, and that sinker just kept people honest. But, overall, man, we’re just seeing him do a nice job, and the confidence is a key there as well.”
