    Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s Worst Offensive Season Was About More Than His Power Decline (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    To be honest, at first glance, it looks like a mistake, but it was real: .332 OBP, .356 SLG, 9 HR - Vladimir Guerrero Jr. .333 OBP, .356 SLG, 0 HR - Chandler Simpson Can you believe it? Well, yes. Even without hitting a home run in 612 plate appearances throughout the entire regular season this year, Simpson produced the same slugging percentage as Guerrero Jr., surpassing him in his own way with 34 more hits, which included six triples. Simpson has accumulated 1,053 plate appearances since arri

    Twins May Have to Rethink Alan Roden's Place in Their Future (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The offensive formula could still work for the Detroit Tigers without Riley Greene, as long as Dillon Dingler and Spencer Torkelson find runners in scoring position and crushing pitches.

Dingler saw his homerless streak extend to 111 plate appearances, the longest drought of his career, while Torkelson recovered sooner, although his home run ca

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has not hit a home run in 251 plate appearances at Rogers Centre this year and, even worse, has hit just one home run in 111 plate appearances with runners in scoring position. In that situation, his ISO is .067. George Springer’s BABIP with runners in scoring position is .229, with a 75 wRC+. Kazuma Okamoto has fallen into a terrible slump, hitting just .186/.233/.289 with only two home runs and -0.4 fWAR in 103 plate appearances during the second half of the season. Ernie

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Milwaukee Brewers have become the latest team to express interest in Tarik Skubal, according to MLB.com. That inquiry adds another contender to a list that, according to The Athletic, also includes the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tampa Bay Rays, Philadelphia Phillies, and New York Yankees as the most logical landing spots should Detroit decide to entertain offers for its ace. The report once again fueled speculation about the future of the 2024 American League Triple Crown winner and back-to-back A
