Baseball is better when Byron Buxton is playing it

Cal Raleigh has the 8th-best fWAR in baseball this season, is on a 55 HR pace, and has an 80-grade nickname. Respect Big Dumper😤

Kyle Stowers looks like one heck of a building block for the Marlins.

James Wood sure looks like a budding superstar

The #Rangers intend to call up former top-prospect OF Evan Carter tomorrow, per GM Chris Young

Yep the DBacks COOKED with these city connects 🔥

The #Rangers are placing OF Leody Taveras on waivers, per Ken Rosenthal Taveras, 26, is a former top-prospect. Any team that claims him would assume the balance of his $4.75M salary.

I’m starting to think the Detroit Tigers might just be a team of destiny

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

Jorge Polanco is doing WHAT

This year’s trade deadline could be fascinating, because the two “best” trade chips are currently doing this

Kristian Campbell is so damn impressive

Brendan Donovan is BALLING OUT this year and nobody’s talking about it

The Detroit Tigers have been one of the best teams in baseball this season and the performance of their previously underwhelming number one overall picks is a big reason why

Midseason trade candidate: Sonny Gray Under team control thru 2027: 2026 - $35M 2027 - $30M (club option) STL shopped Gray this winter and could do so again in July. His contract isn’t cheap, but Sonny Gray is a high-end SP2 on a contending team. Contenders will be interested.

Teams with the biggest “postseason odds” shifts after a month of games, via Fangraphs: Tigers 46.0%➡️76.9% Giants 28.5%➡️56.3% Orioles 45.0%➡️18.0% Mets 62.4%➡️87.0% Cubs 48.3%➡️70.2% Braves 93.4%➡️71.9% Twins 55.5%➡️35.8% Pirates 20.3%➡️5.8% (Opening Day odds➡️Current odds)

The Reds signed Austin Hays to a 1 year $5M contract this winter and that looks like money well-spent

Corbin Carroll is unbelievable 😅

Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 162-game pace: 130 R 31 HR 105 RBI 62 SB 11.2 fWAR Yeah—that’ll play.

Aaron Judge is the favorite to win the AL MVP at -330 odds on DraftKings. -330! ON APRIL 23rd😅

No pitcher has a better fWAR this season than Chris Bassitt

Max Meyer breakout szn might just be upon us

The #Guardians have DFA’d RHP Triston McKenzie, per a team announcement. McKenzie, 27, had a 2.96 ERA over 191 1/3 innings in 2022 but has struggled to stay healthy and be effective since.

Fernando Tatis Jr is ABSURD
