2024 DRaysBay Community Prospect List: Vote for No. 29 (again!)

Kim Klement Neitzel-USA TODAY Sports Tanner Murray enters the list! Previous Winner Tanner Murray, 2B/3BAA | .256/.345/.438 (.783 OPS, 110 wRC+) 200 PA, 5 HR, 0 SB In 2022, Murray got a handful of games in the AFL after a strong showing at Class-A (151 wRC+) and an average showing in A+ (100 wRC+), but it’s not clear that the Rays knew what to do with the 2020 4th rounder out of UC Davis. To start 2023 he bounced between A+ and Triple-A, perhaps to meet a roster need, but was injured just 9 games into his season on a play at second base. He returned mid-July and the...

Angels starters looking forward to traditional 5-man rotation

Angels starters worked on at least six days of rest nearly twice as often as those on any other team over the past three years, because they were working around Shohei Ohtani’s schedule. Now, they will pitch more often, with more consistent schedules.

Amazin’ Avenue’s bold predictions for the Mets’ 2024 season

Amazin’ Avenue’s bold predictions for the Mets’ 2024 season

Photo by Rich Storry/ Our staff makes some big guesses for this year’s team. Allison McCague: Francisco Alvarez will be the best catcher in the National League In his rookie season last year, Francisco Alvarez was fifth among National League catchers in fWAR. A big part of Alvarez’s success in his first big league season was what he contributed defensively. He had the fourth-highest framing value in all of baseball, according to Statcast. There is no reason to believe that incredible defensive value he worked so hard to build is going anywhere in 2024 and we’ve...

2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 1

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports An uneven start to the season. I didn’t set out to be a baseball writer. I just kind of fell into it. I was sitting in the same spot that you, the reader, occupied back in 2017 and even before. I loved this space from its creation and was a commenter on a regular basis. When its previous writer rode off into the sunset after the 2016 championship, I was just someone who didn’t want to see this feature go away. I honestly thought I was applying a band-aid while a long term solution was identified. Somehow, I find myself starting season...

Joe Rondone/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK Opening Day is finally here for the Brewers The Brewers are set to kick off another season Friday, as they prepare to take on the New York Mets in Queens.

They’re 16-17-1 on the road on Opening Day, including losses on the road against the Cubs in three of the last four seasons. This is the first time the Brewers have ever played the Mets on Opening Day, although they’ve played in New York against the Yankees...

Rivalry Roundup: An Opening Day O’s blowout

For those unfamiliar, we like to keep tabs on some of the Yankees’ top rivals for the American League pennant throughout the MLB season, so this daily feature was created a couple years ago to supplement our Yankees game recaps.

Friday Open Thread: Which athlete from another sport would you put on the roster?

Photo by Don Juan Moore/ And where would you put them? Most professional athletes, if you were to glance in their yearbooks, probably excelled at more than one sport before they settled in and chose the one they would spend their career on. While that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone who is a major league caliber baseball player could have done football or basketball instead, there have certainly been many players who were good enough to do more than one sport professionally. Our open thread discussion this week asks: if you could take a professional athlete from any...

New season, old friends: Phillies vs. Braves series preview

It didn’t go so well for Orlando Arcia the last time he came to Philadelphia | Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports The season opens against our good friends from Atlanta Welcome to another season of Phillies baseball. (Pause for polite applause.) After two straight years of falling short in the playoffs, the Phillies goal for 2024 is clear: Win the World Series. As any Phillies fan could tell you, that won’t be easy, because the Phillies have accomplished that feat a total of two times in their 141 seasons. But it’s been 15 years since the last time they hoisted that...

Who is John Sherman?

Who is John Sherman?

Photo by Ed Zurga/ Like the guy next door, except richer In the past, I’ve written stories critical of how the Royals organization has handled their downtown stadium negotiations. And while I don’t back away from the ham-handed way that process has been going, I did start to wonder if perhaps I have gotten the wrong idea about Royals owner John Sherman. After all, I’ve never met Sherman, so it’s impossible to know someone without meeting them. This got me wondering, have I formed the wrong opinion about John Sherman? Has my opinion of him been unfairly...

The D-backs went on to score 14 runs on 13 hits—both franchise records for most in an inning. Colorado pulled left-handed starter Kyle Freeland after six runs came across, but the D-backs went on to...
