7TH INNING STRETCH


Bo Bichette is the Answer for the Philadelphia Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies entered this offseason with urgency, but have operated like a team searching for clarity they haven’t quite found. After another October disappointment, the expectation was that the front office would aggressively address roster weaknesses. Instead, the winter has been defined more by patience than action. To this point, the headline move has been the signing of Adolis García to a one-year deal - an addition meant to shore up right field and inject

Why is Tatsuya Imai Still Unsigned?
As the January 2nd signing deadline approaches, Tatsuya Imai remains one of the more confusing names on the international market. This isn’t a case of a pitcher holding out for a massive deal or waiting on a preferred destination. There’s been very little public movement at all.

What's next for the New York Mets?
The Mets entered the offseason with the sense that they were somewhere in the middle – not in a full rebuild, but not quite ready to go all-in either.

Meet the Pittsburgh Pirates: Baseball's Most Dysfunctional Organization

Paul Skenes just delivered one of the most dominant seasons baseball has seen in decades, winning the Cy Young and immediately establishing himself as a top-three player in the sport. He’s overpowering hitters and commanding the zone at an insane pace, and he is giving Pittsburgh a legitimate chance to win every time he takes the mound. Players like this don’t fall into organizations’ laps often - especially not Pittsburgh

Tarik Skubal and the Tigers’ $400 Million Decision
On paper, the Detroit Tigers should be thrilled. Tarik Skubal has turned into one of the best pitchers in baseball, putting together a dominant year that’s made him the clear ace of the staff. He’s posting Cy Young–caliber numbers, missing bats, limiting walks, and giving the Tigers a chance to win every time he’s on the mound. But with his contract talks heating up, Detroit now faces a massive question - how far are they willing to go to keep their guy? The $250 Million Gap
