This Pirates Catching Situation Could Change Perceived Plans
I’m expressing frustration with how the Pirates organization has handled the introduction of catchers Endy Rodriguez and Henry Davis to Major League Baseball. However, I consider the competition between Rodriguez and Davis a potentially beneficial situation.

Know Your Enemy – Milwaukee Brewers 2023 & Beyond
The Brewers are in a position where 2024 is somewhere between a “transition” point, they could deal away Burnes theoretically or even shop Yelich to make room for their young OFs (Chourio, Mitchell, Frelick, Wiemer), they could stand pat, or do they even look to add?

Exciting times in baseball, well, at least it’s supposed to be. Nashville is a fun city so here’s hoping these GM’s get something done aside from ogling Carrie Underwoods gams. Let’s jump right in.

Long one tonight, so I won’t spend much time up here. The Cardinals are fleshing out their comeback story they want to write and the natives are getting restless back home. We don’t just want Cherington to go get stuff done, we want him to do it now! 3/4 of the league have done nothing or next to it, but this fan base, well, they’ve seen this act before.
