• On-base options: Trade candidatesPhoto by Justin Casterline/Getty Images Let’s make a deal! The Royals have made getting a leadoff hitter who can get on base a top priority this off-season, after the team got a line of .228/.270/.334 from the top spot. Last week I looked at free agents who could fill that void, but with a weak market, a trade might be a more effective route. The Royals are reportedly open to trading their...2024Read about Justin Casterline news -
• On-base options: Free agentsPhoto by Eakin Howard/Getty Images Get on base! Royals GM J.J. Picollo has highlighted an on-base hitter as his top priority this off-season, and for good reason. Royals leadoff hitters batted .228/.270/.334 this year, by far the worst in baseball. Bobby Witt Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino, and Salvador Perez all need more RBI opportunities from someone that can set the table. Free agency is now ...2024Read about Bobby Witt news -
• Colorado Rockies prospect rankings, mid-season 2024: numbers 5 to 3Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images Two outfielders and an infielder start the top five We’ve entered the top five of the mid-season 2024 Purple Row Prospects (PuRPs) list!

• Is DeSoxification good for your soul?Why is this man smiling? | clutchpoints.com Usually, but not always This is a piece about how players traded to or from the White Sox at the deadline have fared since, but first a word of caution: Web stuff hangs around forever, so be careful to date your work. I had gathered stats before the Houston series started, figuring half a month may be a small sample size, but not an unreasonable ...2024Read about White Sox news -
• The Isaac Paredes trade by the numbersPhoto by Andrew Mordzynski/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Will Paredes’ pull-side power play at Wrigley Field? The trade deadline is a wild time, especially with so many teams being within shouting distance of the expanded Wild Card. Jed Hoyer was transparent that the Cubs would make moves to improve the team in 2025 and beyond, but I don’t think most fans thought that would mean adding ...2024Read about Isaac Paredes news -

• Could the Royals be in the trade market for a third baseman?Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images Michael Massey’s injury may create a new hole. Michael Massey has been limited largely to DH duties since returning from the Injured List with a back injury. The team has concerns that playing defense in the field could reaggravate his injury, and he has played just two games at second base since returning June 24. Meanwhile, Maikel Garcia has starte...2024Read about Michael Massey injuries -
• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 66Katie Stratman-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs stop their skid with a 4-2 win over the Reds in the series finale. A thought experiment on sequencing to start your Monday morning. I believe the consensus for the Cubs around these parts was for somewhere around 85 wins. There were definitely some who thought they might challenge 90 and others who weren’t buying the improvements and thought 80ish w...2024Read about Seiya Suzuki injuries -

• Mariners series preview: This battle means more nowPhoto by Alika Jenner/Getty Images Grass Creek may have bigger implications now. Back in 2007, Freneau, the founder of this site, found futility in the series between the Royals and Mariners.

• A look at this year’s outfield free agent classPhoto by Rob Tringali/MLB Photos via Getty Images Will the Royals seek another bat in the outfield? The Royals will focus largely on upgrading the pitching staff this off-season, but their offense could use some upgrades as well. They scored the eighth-fewest runs in baseball with the fifth-fewest home runs and the third-lowest on-base percentage. At the end of the season, J.J. Picollo ins...2023Read about MLB Photos injuries -

Corbin Carroll, OF, ARI Carroll hit his second home run of the season and brought in five runs as part of a 2 for 5 night at the plate.

Batting average is down this time of year, all the way down to a .236 league-wide average as of the Sunday morning I searched it.
