Edward Cabrera walked off the mound at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night wearing the face of a man who had just been through something genuinely frightening. Hand cramping up mid outing, velocity already a concern, command deserting him in the fifth — and a Cubs rotation that simply cannot afford another setback watching on…
The Texas Rangers loaded the bases against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Again. And once again they did absolutely nothing with it. The final score was 6-3 to Boston and another golden opportunity went to waste. This isn’t a one off. This isn’t a rough patch. This is a full blown trend — and…
The Philadelphia Phillies have strengthened their farm system by signing veteran infielder Luke Ritter to a minor-league contract and assigning him to Double-A. Ritter, a seventh-round pick by the New York Mets in the 2019 MLB Draft, spent several years in the Mets organization before brief stints with the Los Angeles Angels and Detroit Tigers…
The Philadelphia Phillies have one of the most fearsome top three rotations in all of baseball. Christopher Sanchez, Zack Wheeler and Jesus Luzardo is the kind of 1-2-3 punch that gives opposing lineups nightmares before they even step into the batter’s box. But beyond those three? Things get uncomfortable very quickly. And one young pitcher…
70,492 fans packed into SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Friday night. And every single one of them witnessed something that hasn’t happened in nearly a century of American football history. The United States didn’t just beat Paraguay 4-1 in their World Cup opener. They rewrote the record books while doing it. A First Half…
The Chicago Cubs have lost two straight to the Colorado Rockies and are staring down the barrel of a sweep in Denver. Not exactly the position a team with playoff ambitions wants to find itself in. So naturally something had to change — and Alex Bregman is right at the centre of it. The Change…
The Chicago Cubs have been quietly doing what the Cubs do best — picking up pieces nobody else wants and turning them into something useful. And their latest acquisition follows that exact blueprint to the letter. While the bigger headlines swirl around trade deadline rumours and playoff positioning, Jed Hoyer slipped in another low key…
The Texas Rangers are still waiting on their number one overall prospect to return from elbow surgery. But while Sebastian Walcott works his way back, someone else just walked into the Dominican Summer League and immediately demanded everyone’s attention. He’s 17 years old. He’s been a professional baseball player for approximately two games. And he…
103 miles per hour. Let that sink in for a second. Somewhere in Frisco, Texas, a 25 year old from the Dominican Republic has been quietly making batters look completely foolish — and the Texas Rangers have finally decided the rest of the world deserves to see what he can do. Wilian Bormie is…
The Chicago Cubs had a pretty decent Saturday. A walk off win at Wrigley, a series all tied up against the Giants, and somewhere in the middle of all that excitement — a quiet but interesting roster move that flew completely under the radar. Because the Cubs front office never really stops working. Even on…
