Or, is Ben doing the work his boss wants him to do? There can’t be year upon year of constant failure and it not be fair to at least ask that question.

Proof that God really exists was confirmed today when Jonathan India was traded by the Reds to Kansas City. So he’ll be personally responsible for beating us in only three games next season instead of all those others.

While I imagine many, if not most, Pirates fans feel Dave Parker should be in the Hall, I’d guess the same could be said by Cardinals fans when it comes to Ken Boyer, and Dodgers fans regarding Steve Garvey and Tommy John. All of these guys seem more suited to the Hall of Really Good players, but fa...

I guess we have to enjoy Skenes until he reaches free agency after the 2029 season. The Pirates could also decide to trade him prior to that time. I do hope the Players Association decides to request a salary floor when they negotiate the next CBA after the 2026 season. Possibly a floor would force...

MLB.com is reporting that the Dodgers will be meeting with Juan Soto this week because, you know, they sure could use a bat in their line-up.

Boras isn't his agent. Cots has WME listed, but Sportrac has ISE, and ISE sent out congratulatory social media posts. Sorry, I thought I read somewhere that Boras was his agent. Well, whoever is advising him, it would be in Skenes’ best interest to bide his time and to go through the arb process. H...

It’s imperative that Cherington quickly does what’s necessary to build a roster that can win as much as possible over the next three years. If Skenes continues to pitch lik...

You can count on me to turn my back on the pierogis. As far as spending time with Livy Dunne, mercy! I’d be arrested for excessive ogling. Stand across the room and look at her through binoculars, and pretend you're at home. I think it would be ironic if you were eating a plate of pierogies while y...

The Astros have renamed their ballpark yet again. Starting in January, Minute Maid Park will be known as Daikin Park.
