Simulating the next decade of baseball with MLB The Show

Simulating games in a 162-game season, complete with minor league matchups and free-agency and draft elements, is nothing new to players. With MLB considering a new playoff format and some influential free-agency periods in the years to come, we wanted to know what the big leagues will look like 10 years from now, and we […]

Remember when tanking ruled MLB? Those days might be over

Back then, “banging the trash can” might have meant what the Marlins had just done over the 2017-18 offseason: They traded four of their best players (Christian Yelich, Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna and Dee Gordon) in one winter, turning a second-place team into a nearly certain last-place team. They tore it down. They tanked. Baseball’s […]

One thing to watch for all 30 teams as spring training begins

When spring training kicked off a year ago, Bryce Harper and Manny Machado remained unsigned. The drama this year will center around the Houston Astros: their cheating scandal, reactions from other players about the Astros’ cheating scandal, the possibility of other teams throwing at Astros hitters in spring training, the counter-reaction from Astros pitchers and […]

What are Chicago Cubs’ trade options with Kris Bryant?

For anyone who has wondered whether the Chicago Cubs could actually go through with trading a former league MVP and one-time face of the franchise in Kris Bryant, this week’s Mookie Betts blockbuster served as an important reminder about the lengths a team is willing to go to make its payroll work. Now they have […]

They secretly replaced Yankee Stadium … and other lies we can prove using real stats

But the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he had a large enough sample size. Baseball statistics can keep lying all year long, if you let them. A whole season of stats, across the entire league, can still tell a lie or two. What follow are lies. We repeat: They are […]

Who is the team to beat in the NL Central? It just might be the Cincinnati Reds

Earlier this winter, I researched free-agent spending over the past decade and discovered the Cincinnati Reds had committed just $121.1 million in free agency during the 2010s, the lowest total of any team. Less than the Rays. Less than the Marlins. Less than the A’s. The Reds do not spend in free agency. That’s why […]

Reds get OF Nick Castellanos on $64 million, 4-year deal

The Cincinnati Reds continued their busy offseason, matching the biggest free-agent contract in team history by agreeing to a four-year, $64 million deal with outfielder Nick Castellanos, the team announced Monday. The deal has an opt-out clause after the first season, sources said. Castellanos, who undoubtedly made some money for himself after his midseason trade […]

Why Astros’ penalties are harsh enough, despite calls for much more

“If a man can sin with impunity, he will continue to sin. Especially if he gets paid for it.” — Eliot Asinof, “Eight Men Out” Baseball’s commissioner has spoken. After hours upon hours of investigation and inquiry by MLB’s in-house detectives, Rob Manfred finally dropped the hammer last week on the Houston Astros, all for […]

An AL Central repeat? 300 home runs again? What adding Josh Donaldson brings to the Twins

David Schoenfield: I get that the Twins’ lineup is loaded, coming off a season when they mashed a record 307 home runs — and now they’ve added Donaldson, giving them six hitters who hit more than 30 home runs last year. It’s going to be fun to watch them hit. You know what though? It’s […]

The player most likely to be traded in 2020 for all 30 MLB teams

Predicting MLB trades is impossible! I believe the surgeon general issues a warning about this on the back of packs of baseball cards. In fact, it wouldn’t be shocking if I went 0-for-30 on the following list of the one player from every team most likely to be traded in 2020. New York Yankees: Clint […]
