• 2024 Heroes and Goats: Biggest comebacks of the year

Photo by Matt Thomas/San Diego Padres/Getty Images Here’s the anatomy of a comeback. As we make our way through the offseason, I thought it would be fun to look at some of the biggest comebacks that occurred in the 2024 season. One of the unique qualities of baseball is that there is always time for a comeback. The odds of a comeback get steeper and steeper of course. But technically, unt...2024

• The Royals are looking to trade for a slugger. Who’s available?

The Royals need run production. The Royals have been one of the most active teams so far this off-season, bringing back pitcher Michael Wacha on a three-year, $51 million deal, and acquiring second baseman Jonathan India and outfielder Joey Wiemer from the Reds for pitcher Brady Singer. But the team is far from done. According to a recent report from The Athletic, the Royals would like to add more...2024

"One other thing I’d like to address is the rumors that began to fly when Christopher Morel didn’t make it to the convention."

2023
"Christopher Morel led off with a ground ball to the usually reliable Willy Adames at short."

2022
"Here’s the greeting he gave to plate umpire Gary Cederstrom that afternoon: That’s somewhat reminiscent of what we saw from Christopher Morel when he made his MLB debut earlier this year, and Morel definitely has looked to Contreras as a mentor."

2020
"The Cubs have added a pair of right-handers, Cory Abbott and Keegan Thompson, as well as infielder Christopher Morel to their 40-man roster, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune was among those to report."
