    To Little Fanfare, Nick Sogard Has Played a Big Role in a Resurgent Red Sox Season (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    To little fanfare, Nick Sogard was a key contributor to a Red Sox regular season that began abysmally — “Sell the team” chants were heard nearly as often at Fenway Park as “Sweet Caroline” in the early months — and culminated in a Wild Card berth. Filling in wherever needed in a lineup that dealt with both injuries and uneven performances, the 29-year-old jack of all trades ended up starting 24 games at second base, 16 at first base, seven at third base, and four at shortstop. Moreover, he was s

    Sunday Notes: Chase DeLauter is Healthy and Sitting Fastballs With Much Success (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Chase DeLauter is having a strong rookie season. The top hitter on a Cleveland Guardians team that ranks in the bottom half of the junior circuit in runs scored, he has 16 home runs to go with a .287/.363/.457 slash line and a 131 wRC+ over 559 plate appearances. His production — thanks in part to good health — doesn’t come as a surprise. As Eric Longenhagen and Brendan Gawlowski wrote when ranking him atop our 2026 Guardians Top Prospect list, “The oft-injured DeLauter has only played 140 profe

    Alex McCoy Is Making a Name For Himself as a Power-Hitting Padres Prospect (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Alex McCoy isn’t a high-profile prospect. Signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2024 out of Hofstra University, the 24-year-old corner outfielder is ranked just 25th in the San Diego Padres system with a 35+ FV. That doesn’t mean he’s without upside. Over 541 plate appearances this season, the Baltimore native left the yard 19 times while logging a 112 wRC+ and a .278/.355/.467 slash line between High-A Fort Wayne and Double-A San Antonio. Last year, in an injury-limited first professional campa

    Sunday Notes: Dominic Canzone Developed a High Finish and is Slugging in Seattle (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Dominic Canzone is having a strong season with the stick. Playing on a Seattle Mariners team that went into last night having scored the fewest runs in MLB, the 29-year-old outfielder/DH has slugged 22 home runs while putting up a .258/.327/.482 slash line and a 131 wRC+ over 474 plate appearances. Along with Randy Arozarena he is only player in Dan Wilson’s lineup with 300 or more plate appearances and a wRC+ higher than 108. His performance hasn’t come out of the blue — at least not to fans in

    Mike Trout Talks Hitting (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Mike Trout has been one of the best hitters of his generation, if not one of the best in baseball annals. Now 35 years old and in his 16th major league season — all with the Los Angeles Angels — the pride of Millville, New Jersey has left the yard 424 times while logging a 163 wRC+ over 7,765 plate appearances. A 12-time All-Star and three-time MVP, he has been awarded nine Silver Sluggers. When Trout arrives in Cooperstown — already with 90.2 WAR, enshrinement is basically a fait accompli — he
