Guy Who Dreamed Of Playing For Marlins Should Be Careful What He Wishes For<em></em>
Coral Springs native Lewis Brinson is excited to patrol the field in front of the Marlins’ dinger machine for his childhood team. The Marlins acquired the 23-year-old prospect yesterday as part of the return package for trading Christian Yelich to Milwaukee....
Oh, Hell Yeah, The Brewers Are Going For It
Scarcely an hour after acquiring Christian Yelich in a trade with the Marlins, the Brewers have gotten themselves another outfielder: Lorenzo Cain, signed to a five-year, $80 million deal as reported by ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick and first broken by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal....
Christian Yelich Freed From Miami, Joins Surprisingly Fun Brewers Club
The hot stove is warm, baby. A week after Christian Yelich’s agent announced the outfielder’s relationship with the Marlins was “irretrievably broken,” he’s been shipped off to the Brewers in exchange for a solid haul of prospects: outfielders Lewis Brinson and Monte Harrison, second baseman Isan Di...
The Hall Of Fame Is Trying To Vacate Your Memories
Barring something truly unexpected like a teary confession from Derek Jeter or Mariano Rivera becoming the subject of a startling exposé, Alex Rodriguez will, when he joins the ballot in 2022, become the final strong candidate for baseball’s Hall of Fame to have both made his name in the sport’s dop...
Watch The Four Newest Baseball Hall Of Famers Get The Call
As worked up as we all were for the results of Baseball Hall of Fame voting, I suppose the players who got in were probably even more excited. As is tradition, cameras were rolling when Chipper Jones, Vladimir Guerrero, Jim Thome, and Trevor Hoffman received the phone calls letting them know they’ve...
Edgar Martínez Is A Hall-Of-Fame Baseball Player
Many of the conceptual arguments around the Baseball Hall of Fame aren’t really about baseball. Debates about players who used steroids are about justice or punishment or cheating. Debates about the character clause are about the separation between the sport and the people who play it. Debates about...
Barry Bonds And Roger Clemens Not Elected To Baseball Hall Of Fame
For the sixth year in a row, baseball’s home run king and a seven-time Cy Young winner have both been refused entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Neither Barry Bonds, the second-greatest hitter of all-time by fWAR, nor Roger Clemens, the best pitcher ever by that same stat, cleared the 75 percent ...
Expand The Hall Of Fame Ballot And Solve The Edgar Martinez Problem
Every Hall of Fame voting season, a few narratives get beaten into the ground. What to do about steroids. What to do about the 10-year rule designed to screw over steroid guys. What about the war over WAR? But here’s one argument that still deserves to be used as a bludgeon against the BBWAA: The 1...
The MLBPA Is Failing Its Players
There are 23 days until pitchers and catchers begin reporting for spring training. There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 free-agent players who remain unsigned. ...
The Hot Stove And The Triumph Of Shamelessness
Broadly speaking, America has never been great on shame. Pride has always been a strong suit, and fucking things up in shameful and improbable ways was the national pastime long before a more racist version of Slimer from Ghostbusters got elected president, but shame just sort of never caught on her...

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Yasmany Tomas was arrested in Phoenix on Thursday morning after police clocked him going 105 mph on a local freeway. He has been accused of reckless driving and criminal speeding....
MLB Plans To Implement Pace-Of-Play Changes Against Players' Wishes
Over the objections of players, MLB hopes to implement a pitch clock and tighter restrictions on mound visits this season, as first reported by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and then in greater detail by Yahoo’s Jeff Passan....
Andrew McCutchen Meant Everything To Pittsburgh
Watch that clip up there. It says all there is to say about what Andrew McCutchen meant to Pirates fans in general, and to Pittsburgh in particular. For a long time, it was damn near impossible to imagine a Pirates player who possessed enough star power to affect young fans like that. Now that McCut...
Christian Yelich's Agent Says Relationship With Marlins Is "Irretrievably Broken"
Christian Yelich is just about the last good Miami Marlins player standing, so naturally, he’d also like to escape the Derek Jeter regime’s austerity plan before the start of the season. Yelich’s agent Joe Longo spoke with ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick and made it abundantly clear that Yelich wants out imme...
The San Francisco Giants Aren't Fixed, But They're Appealing
The 2018 San Francisco Giants would have been a great team in 2013. But it isn’t 2013, and the Giants, who this offseason have traded for Andrew McCutchen and Evan Longoria, are in odd shape as they try to escape a payroll, personnel, and farm system crisis....
The Gerrit Cole Deal Sure Looks Odd For Pittsburgh
The Pirates have been playing with the burners of the hot stove for weeks now over the possibility of a Gerrit Cole trade, and now that it’s finally happened, they have surprisingly little to show for it....

We’re back for another episode of Let’s Remember Some Guys, in which our own David Roth continues his quest to procure from the depths of his memory at least one fact about every single baseball player that history has ever known....
How Old Is Edwin Jackson?
Driving to every major league ballpark that Edwin Jackson has called home, one by one, in order, would require driving for more than 16,000 miles to reach 11 stadiums. (Toronto not included on this hypothetical road trip; he was on the Blue Jays’ roster for a few hours between trades at the 2011 dea...
Hot Stove Glows Faintly
A few months after the New York Mets traded Jay Bruce to Cleveland for next to nothing, they’re bringing him back. Bruce, who hit a career-high 36 home runs last year and turns 31 in the spring, has reportedly signed a three-year deal with the team for $39 million: ...
