The Cubs are a team that has many questions concerning their roster. A few weeks into Spring Training, there have been many surprising stars and some let downs. So lets dive right into the action and predict what the Cubs 26-Man roster will look like by March 26. Starting Rotation -Jon Lester LHP -Kyle Hendricks RHP -Yu Darvish RHP -Jose Quintata LHP -Tyler Chatwood RHP The starting rotation is probably the easiest to predict. 4/5 of the pitchers were already set in stone and

The Mariners first few games have been rocky. Game 1 Seattle faced the Rangers, Yusei didn't do to well as he allowed 4 hits on 2 runs, as the Rangers enrouted the Mariners 7-5. The Second game the Cubs absolutely DESTROYED the pitching of the Mariners dropping 16 on the M's, as Marco allowed 3 hits on 5 ER. Pitching didn't get better as the BP allowed 11 more runs. The bats came alive going 12 runs and Lopes going 3 for 3 as later he shows he is a bright spot for the Mar

Q: How do you think the rotation should shape out? A: There has definitely been some uncertainty to the Braves’ 5th rotation spot all offseason. There could potentially be 4 or 5 answers to that last rotation spot. And with the Hamels setback, it doesn’t make anything easier. Hamels is expected to miss the first week or two of the season and until then, the Braves are currently left with just three locks into the rotation for the Opening Day roster. These guys being Mike Soro

Jorge Alfaro was supposed to start Thursday's contest against the Mets but ended up being a scratch due to left oblique tightness according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. Alfaro is being listed as day-to-day even though any type of oblique issue is a concern. Alfaro is not being sent for an MRI but he will be monitored to see if further issues occur. Jorge Alfaro last season hit .262/.312/.425 with 18 home runs and 57 RBI's. Despite having a 1.0 WAR and having avera

The visiting clubhouse at TD Ballpark was quiet Tuesday. Word that Luis Severino would need Tommy John surgery and will miss the 2020 season had filtered through the dugout during their 4-1 win over the Blue Jays and it was like a punch to the gut. “It can’t get any worse right? And it feels like it’s going that way already,” said Luke Voit. “It’s a frustrating day." Voit called it “crazy” to already be dealing with major injury issues, but said that it gives a young pitcher

Mariners resign former Mariner Taijuan Walker, who was traded earlier with All-Star Ketel Marte for Jean Segura and Mitch Haniger. Only 2 Players on the trade really paid off. And those are Ketel Marte and Mitch Haniger. Taijuan was okayish with the DBacks going 9-9 until he ended up going under TJ surgery and was entered into FA. Taijuan didn't strike to a team until a bit ago with him being one of the last FA's coming to a team. His FB Rate wasn't impressive to scouts a

I’ll be starting a new series and every so often I’ll ask you guys for questions, and I’ll choose a few to answer. I’ll try to do these once a week so you guys can get more questions answered. Could we see the Twins in the World Series? It’s very possible with this team. This is one, if not the most talented team in Twins history. The window opened in 2019 and the Twins won 101 games, set a home run record, and won the division. This team is much more talented than last year’

Last winter, the Tigers added 4 major league free agents, 2 minor league free agents, and 1 waiver claim that had significant roles with the Tigers last season. Together, nearly 20 million dollars spent, all 7 of the players combined for a 0.7 fWAR. I did a calculation, and the equivalence to what the Tigers did last offseason is if the Tigers gave catcher Austin Barnes of the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1 year deal worth 20 million dollars. Clearly, last offseason was a major fact

On Sunday morning, Nolan Arenado reported to camp at the Salt River Fields complex in Scottsdale. He's looking to stay positive and help the Rockies in any way he can and help this team return to the postseason since 2018. Despite the bad pitching and injuries the Rockies suffered in 2019, the staff is looking to change the momentum and refocus the goals they had a year ago. Ian Desmond had to say something about the team rebounding from 2019... “You can look at it as a loss

The Marlins today signed right-handed pitcher Brad Boxberger to a minor league deal that includes an invite to spring training. The 31 year old veteran has played for four teams in his eight years. Boxberger last year had a 1/3 record with an ERA of 5.40 in 26.2 inning. The veteran is looking for a bounce back season with the Marlins. In 2016, Boxberger started to struggle in his third season as he posted a 4.71 ERA in 24.1 innings. Ever since, he has not looked the same. The

The Giants have plenty of talent in the lower minors but do not have a top level prospect ready to make an impact in 2020. With that said the Giants could have a top level farm system soon if Marco Luciano, Luis Toribio, Alexander Canario, and Luis Matos keep improving at each level. They also had a college heavy draft class with 3 of their first 4 picks being college position players with the hope that (OF) Hunter Bishop, (1B) Logan Wyatt, and (SS) Tyler Fitzgerald can move

Spring training has finally arrived. A long winter of trades, claims, welcoming, and goodbyes, most teams are making their finishing touches to their spring training rosters, and are set to get ready for the regular season. The Tigers were definitely not quiet this off season, adding 5 players on major league contracts. One thing general manager Al Avila stated during winter meetings that he wanted to see a lot of competition within players, and he stuck to his word, because

The Twins and Dodgers made a trade to significantly help the starting rotation, but it came at a steep price. I’ll tell you why the trade isn’t as bad as you think it may be. The Trade: Twins Receive: RHP Kenta Maeda, C Jair Camargo, $10 million, Dodgers Receive: RHP Brusdar Graterol, OF Luke Raley, 67th overall pick in the 2020 draft Obviously losing Graterol sucks. He’s a very promising pitching prospect and is on the track to becoming an elite reliever if he stays a reliev

Here are five bold and not very bold predictions for the Twins in the 2020 season: Twins win the American League Central again This one isn’t really THAT bold. The Twins are by far the most talented team in the division. They shouldn’t have much competition for the division title. The most competition in the division will be between the Indians and the White Sox for second place. Twins win their third World Series I know what you’re thinking. We have to win a playoff game fir

In an off-season full of boredom, the main question on almost every Cubs fans mind is “what is going to happen with Kris Bryant?” Well today we are going to dive into the Kris Bryant situation and run over all the possibilities of what could possibly be done with the all-star third baseman. To start things off, let's address the obvious. Kris Bryant is a very good baseball player and has played a key role in the Cubs success over the years. Bryant’s career stats showcase a .9

As we are days away from Spring Training, We're going to take a look at top prospect Jarred Kelenic. Jarred Kelenic was packaged in a deal with Dunn and Bruce to head to the Mariners last offseason in exchange for Cano and Diaz. Kelenic who started 2019 in Single A with the Mariners hit 11 HR's, struck out at a 20.6 percent rate and hit a .277 ISO, but also went for .309/.394/.586 with a .439 wOBA, with having a 181 wRC+. In Single A+ he turned it down just a bit going .290/

Here are 7 bold and not-so-bold predictions that I have for the Atlanta Braves in 2020: Ronald Acuna Jr. flirts with 40/40 again. Have we even seen the peak of Acuna yet? This guy is great. He has every tool necessary to be a great baseball player. And he proved it last year. If he improves even a little, he will be in the MVP conversation. Max Fried establishes himself as the ace. Max Fried started out his 2019 season electrically. In April of 2019, Fried posted a 2.43 ERA o

With the rosters expanding and the season rapidly approaching, I figured I’d do a 26-man roster prediction. I think the Twins will have an even split with 13 position players and 13 pitchers. Starter(s) listed first, backups (if any) listed after. Catcher: Mitch Garver, Alex Avila First Base: Miguel Sano Second Base: Luis Arraez Shortstop: Jorge Polanco Third Base: Josh Donaldson Outfield: Eddie Rosario, Byron Buxton, Max Kepler, Jake Cave Designated Hitter: Nelson Cruz Utili

19 Years, 228 Months, 990 Weeks and 166440 Hours since the last time the Mariners have made the playoffs, after that the Mariners haven't been in the playoffs as we all mourn for the only team who hasn't made the World Series yet. After losing honestly the 3 greatest icons, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey and ARod, by trading Johnson to the Astros in 1998, highlighted by Freddy Garcia in return. Griff was traded to the Reds getting Mike Cameron in return. ARod played the year and
