    Jac Is Back and Better (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Jac Caglianone’s season doesn’t stick out. He doesn’t lead the league in any important statistics. He’s not likely to reach any significant thresholds. He hasn’t completely overhauled his profile. No, his season isn’t that much more interesting than that of any other 2-WAR batter. But for Caglianone, boring is good. That’s unfortunately a testament to just how bad the Royals’ towering slugger was last year. He couldn’t hit, posting a 47 wRC+. He couldn’t play right field, with -7 OAA. He couldn’

    Mariners Hope Kade Anderson Can Save Their Ship (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The hottest pitching prospect in baseball joined the coldest pitching staff in baseball over the weekend. Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson was solid in his major league debut on Saturday. The Cubs weren’t the softest landing, entering the day as the best lineup in the majors with a 111 wRC+. But the top prospect kept the Chicago batters off balance for five innings, striking out five with minimal resistance. Manager Dan Wilson left Anderson in to face the top of the order for a third time to b

    CJ Abrams Isn’t Long for Short (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    CJ Abrams’ ambitions as a fielder have fallen short, but the future remains bright for the Nationals star. Washington over the weekend announced Abrams will move from shortstop to second base. That’s not a surprise. Abrams has been terrible at shortstop for his career, ranking as one of the worst fielders ever recorded by Baseball Savant’s fancy player-tracking technology. What is a surprise, however, is that a minor-career update for Abrams is newsworthy enough to justify an article, a testamen

    The Dodgers Fall Behind (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    The Dodgers are not the best team in baseball right now. It’s been a tough go of late for the team supposedly breaking the sport. The Dodgers began August with a seven-game losing streak, and they’ve played two games below .500 since the All-Star break. They just dropped three of four to the Brewers over the weekend, ceding their standing as the top team in the majors. Most slumping teams are slumping at the plate, and that’s certainly the case for the Dodgers. Their 93 wRC+ in the second half r

    Casey Mize Dealt to Padres for Kash Considerations (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    The Padres got the second-best pitcher traded by the Tigers at the deadline. On Monday, Casey Mize was traded from Detroit to San Diego in exchange for pitching prospects Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf. The Padres also got minor league infielder Gage Workman in the deal. Mize has been exceptional in 2026… when healthy. He’s posted a 2.70 ERA and 2.58 FIP in 86 2/3 innings. His 2.9 WAR is already a career best. He’s thrown strikes, missed bats, and kept the ball in the ballpark. He looks very muc
