A Bryce Harper trade is still astoundingly unlikely, but now the Philadelphia Phillies have entered the arena. Crazy things tend to happen at the trade deadline, however, nothing as crazy as a superstar in his prime getting dealt. That’s the reality we’re kind of facing down with word that Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper is

Patrick Corbin is one of the Yankees top free agency targets, but if his contract demands are too high then Brian Cashman will pivot towards a trade.

Yankees fans are understandably opposed to trading Gary Sanchez for J.T. Realmuto. What if the Marlins gave up more in the deal? It’s hard to imagine Gary Sanchez suffering through a worse season than he did in 2018. That’s precisely why this winter is the worst time to deal the talented catcher. His value has
The Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox proved on Friday that some things are more important than baseball with a touching gesture for Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar. It’s no secret that Chicago’s two major league clubs, the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox, are typically persona non grata as far as the other is concerned. But on
Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are set to break the bank, but could the Chicago White Sox actually get them both?

A.J. Pollock will probably get a nice contract in free agency, but being put on par with Lorenzo Cain feels like a significant leap. As the Arizona Diamondbacks look set to reset or rebuild, outfielder A.J. Pollock is one notable free agent that is surely not coming back. He should get a nice contract from
The San Francisco Giants used to be at the top of the National League West, so what happened? The even year ritual for the San Francisco Giants was more than believable after they won in 2010, 2012 and 2014. From that season on though, the franchise started into a decline with no impactful youth, dismal
The starters have been announced for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game and Mike Trout, Bryce Harper and Freddie Freeman headline the starters.

The Braves made one bold move this week by signing Josh Donaldson, but now it’s time for Atlanta to deal for an ace to anchor their rotation.

Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton says the team will be in the market for top free agents, including Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, this offseason. Coming off a late-season collapse to finish 2018, Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton wants to ensure that doesn’t happen again in 2019. Middleton says he’s preparing to spend big on
Tommy Pham, a fan favorite in St. Louis, is on the move to Tampa in a deal that seems one-sided. When a player gets traded for multiple assets, it’s easy to call it a one-sided deal. What typically isn’t the case is the team getting the one player being the team that performed a fleecing.
The Washington Nationals are actively listening to offers for Bryce Harper. Here are five teams that can realistically acquire the star outfielder. There aren’t many teams in MLB that couldn’t benefit from adding Bryce Harper to their roster today. He may be having a bit of a down year for the Nationals, but his talent
The Mariners had a pretty big hole in center field, but their acquisition of Cameron Maybin from the Marlins should give their lineup a moderate lift. If the Mariners are going to knock the Astros off their perch atop the AL West, they’ll need significantly more production from center field. The Seattle front office hopes
The Braves opened free agency with a bang, signing former MVP Josh Donaldson to a one-year deal. No one can accuse the Braves of inactivity in the aftermath of a long Thanksgiving break.

Madison Bumgarner has been a great San Francisco Giant for many years, but it’s time for the organization to get what they can for the dominant lefty.

Another week in baseball as the playoffs begin to take shape, here is how all the teams rank right now. 30. Royals (-1) The Royals miserable season has only gotten worse. Their pitching staff has given up the most runs in the MLB despite not being overly hitter friendly. Since June 10th they have just
Robinson Cano isn’t nearly the same player he was when he first left the Bronx, but he could still help the Yankees in 2019. When Cano left the Yankees in 2013 it cost the Bronx Bombers a legitimate MVP candidate. He’s clearly not that sort of player anymore, but it doesn’t mean the Yankees should dismiss
Joe Mauer is announcing his retirement from baseball after a 15-year career playing for his hometown team, the Minnesota Twins. For baseball fans in Minnesota, things just won’t be the same heading into the 2019 season. It will be the start of a new era for the Minnesota Twins — an era without Joe Mauer.
The American League roster for the 2018 All-Star Game is absolutely loaded with Mike Trout, Manny Machado and Mookie Betts headlining the roster.

With Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, Aaron
Justus Sheffield was rated as the Yankees’ No. 1 prospect when he was dealt for James Paxton, but it seems the organization had soured on the southpaw. Whenever the Yankees trade a top prospect, it’s inevitable that some fans will start to push a narrative that the organization had soured on his long-term prospects. In
