Charlie Culberson has officially left the Braves after three seasons. The Atlanta Braves might have as much star power on offense as any NL team given the presence of Ronald Acuna and Freddie Freeman, but scrappy utility player Charlie Culberson endeared himself to Braves fans with a plucky, never-say-die style of play that helped him

This week Inside the Clubhouse looks at what led the Cubs to trade Yu Darvish, what’s next with Jon Lester and more.

Those within the Detroit Tigers organization think the team is closer to contention than the average pundit. An MLB rebuild takes time. Unlike, say, the NBA, where one top-ranked prospect can change the course of a team’s history, the best up-and-comers in baseball take years to develop in MiLB’s system. The Tigers are a classic
The Cubs traded Yu Darvish’s personal catcher to the Padres as a throw-in with their ace. The Cubs are clearly in rebuild mode (or retooling, as surely Jed Hoyer would point out), and are shedding high-priced talent at whatever cost. That included Darvish, who finished as a Cy Young finalist just this past year. Yet,

The Phillies ownership group is worth close to $3.4 billion, but their offseason mentality has been utterly shameful. Owning a professional sports team is by no means an easy task. In many cases, it is not a lucrative business model. Yet, when one takes the plunge like John Middleton has, they make a commitment to
The Chicago Cubs are ready to make moves, and these 3 teams should make a deal for catcher Willson Contreras. The Chicago Cubs openly want to reduce payroll, and this week’s deal that sent Yu Darvish to the San Diego Padres may have broken the seal. According to USA TODAY’s Bob Nightengale, the Cubs are

The New York Yankees need to bolster their starting rotation and should look no further than Jon Lester.
