Everything you need to know at halfway point of the 2020 MLB season

The motif heading into the 60-game Major League Baseball season was straight out of a 1950s horror movie or a bad slogan for a 1980s Mariners team: Anything can happen. As we come upon the halfway point of the season, however, as much as we hoped for a crazy, unpredictable two months, the top of […]

Will the MLB trade deadline be a dud? These five questions could hold the key

This will be the most unpredictable trade deadline we’ve ever seen. My colleague Brad Doolittle just did a great job outlining the issues teams face this deadline, along with a position-by-position look at who might be available and which teams have holes to fill. One big factor aside from the cash-flow problems that exist in […]

MLB Power Rankings: Who needs to step up for all 30 teams

With a third of the 2020 MLB season already gone, it’s time to acknowledge that some of the bottom-tier teams that have had stunning turnarounds in the standings may well stick in the playoff picture the rest of the way. We knew the 60-game schedule was going to create some level of randomness and potentially […]

Who could move at the weirdest MLB trade deadline in history?

The Aug. 31 MLB trade deadline is still nearly three weeks off, but let’s take an early look at some of the factors that will influence what might happen. Or won’t happen. It’s possible this year’s deadline will be a dud for several reasons: lack of talent available, more teams in the playoff race because […]

Brawls and bad hops: A’s, Astros and Angels make the West wild

We saw fighting in the time of social distancing. We saw one of Major League Baseball’s most athletic players suffer through one of its most unpleasant blunders. We saw a 21-year-old superstar continue to emerge in front of our eyes. It was a wild Sunday for baseball’s West teams, and we’ll look through it all […]

Our not-as-early-as-you-think MLB hot takes and bold predictions

We will grant that a week or so into the baseball season is typically a bit early to make any proclamations about what we have seen. But as you might have heard, this is not a typical baseball season. In 2020, 10 games represents one-sixth of the season, which would put us into May on […]

Astros owner Jim Crane says sign-stealing scandal ‘weighs on all of us’

In a week in which the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal was in the spotlight again, team owner Jim Crane lamented the long-term effects of the scandal, telling USA Today, “It weighs on all of us every single day.” A benches-clearing altercation was triggered Tuesday between the Astros and Dodgers when Los Angeles right-hander Joe Kelly […]

Your guide to the most unusual MLB Opening Day ever

Baseball is back. The home runs are back. The blazing fastballs blurring across our TV screens are back. The bat flips, the doubles in the gap, the “how did he do that?” defensive plays, the box scores, the exit velocities, the hot takes, the debates, the hopeful late-game rallies, the walk-off hits, the beautiful background […]

What to make of Houston Astros owner Jim Crane’s public (non-)apology

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Houston Astros owner Jim Crane’s latest attempt at damage control blew up in spectacular fashion Thursday. In the span of 27 minutes at a news conference, he claimed his team’s routine cheating during its 2017 championship season didn’t impact the game, declared he shouldn’t be held accountable for the organization […]

The five biggest victims of the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal

The grumbling around the game was thick after MLB commissioner Rob Manfred rendered discipline in the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing case Monday, because while two individuals got hammered, the institution that stood to glean enormous benefit from the systemic illicit behavior was mostly left untouched, the players who participated left unscathed.
