31 AUG 2025 · It used to be that, on or shortly after September 1st, MLB teams would promote a handful of players as the 25 man roster was bumped to 40. It's a popular article around that date. And the 14th man is a fallacy.
Executives will micromanage, just like they do the rest of the season.
22 AUG 2025 · It would be so refreshing to have adult baseball discussion regarding what an "acceptable" return on a draft pick would be.
22 AUG 2025 · While Kade Snell has struggled a bit with a high pro placement, don't sweat it, he'll be fine.
22 AUG 2025 · The days of using the same lineup day after day went out with Leo Durocher. A team without depth isn't going to win. That 13th hitter on the roster had better be useful, or it really doesn't much matter.
If you're a content creator, don't waste time complaining about the lineup. There are far more useful topics to discuss.
22 AUG 2025 · Kane Kepley has done nothing but hit since joining the Myrtle Beach roster. When players run wild on the bases when having a pro on-base of over .500 (Yes, really.), people notice.
22 AUG 2025 · While the criticism for Jed Hoyer's deadline activity was rather loud, it has quieted. After all, the cost of acquiring an SP with 0 innings this season was a second rounder in the 2024 draft. (Shane Bieber to Toronto.)
It's almost like seeing Owen Caissie in a Cubs uniform stifled the dissent.
15 AUG 2025 · The 40 man roster and the freebies given to smaller market teams are a large part of why Milwaukee is crushing in MLB nowadays.
12 AUG 2025 · By retaining Reese McGuire and giving Jonathan Berti the DFA treatment, the Cubs better set themselves on a path for success than if they had done the reverse.
8 AUG 2025 · Why does it seem like big market MLB development systems are struggling more than before COVID hit?
Maybe because a small-market team with a good batch of strategies _should_ clock a similar organization in development.
