Welcome to the early 2025 prediction series! This is not for the division winners, but just a bold prediction for every team in each division for the 2025 season. There is still more time in the winter, but for now let’s take a swan dive into these predictions. Now we take a look into the… read more

The big dogs can’t steal the headlines forever. Eventually other teams are going to have to start making moves and finally another one has. It has not been the loudest offseason for the Cincinnati Reds, but they’ve done quite a bit of work. Their latest move was bringing in second baseman Gavin Lux from the… read more

It’s not everyday that you see a “baseball trade”. This is a trade where both teams made a move that truly benefits both parties involved and was designed to help make each team better in their own respective ways. The Cincinnati Reds traded second baseman Jonathan India and outfielder Jason Wiemer to the Kansas City… read more

Tim Elko won’t stop mashing, Michael Chavis keeps grinding, and Nick Nastrini had a killer start during a weird week-plus.

There is a pretty good chance that for the rest of time, the MLB draft signing bonus record will be broken year after year. After all, that’s how money in sports works. Last season, Paul Skenes signed with the Pirates for a record $9.2 million after Pittsburgh made him the number-one overall pick in a… read more
