No agreement between the Tigers and Tarik Skubal today. Both sides can continue to negotiate. The Tigers don't typically negotiate between now and the hearings. This case might be different. Skubal is going to get anywhere between $20 million and $30 million, so it's going to take some time

The Kyle Farnsworth-Iowa mystery might have been just been solved 🕵️‍♂️

He literally used the player comparison tool to compare himself to the other player.

If Marlins starter Edward Cabrera’s medicals clear and the Cubs trade is finalized, Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caisse will be part of the package headed to Miami.

The Orioles designated Jhonkensy Noel for assignment. Guess it's time to take down my tree.

NEW: Publishers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announce they are shutting down the newspaper on May 3, 2026. Hours ago, the Supreme Court of the US declined to extend a stay on a court order for the paper to pay its journalists following the end of a 3-year strike.

Oh ffs, Nationwide #petsky

The Angels announced the Kirby Yates deal. One year, $5 million.

I'm unsure how to square the idea that the general manager of a major league baseball team is the son of the team's bench coach. What's weirder, this or what the Nationals are doing?

Tommy Pham wants more context accounted for in baseball stats. Some of that context is already included in available metrics, some not. But watch out @fangraphs, he's got a name for it: PhamGraphs. w/ @willsammon.bsky.social t.co/bUWUAsJlMN

Today's newsletter from @injuryexpert.bsky.social is worth the cost of admission.

We have agreed to a three-year contract extension with Manager Matt Quatraro! The extension will begin in 2027, with a club option for the 2030 season.

I don't know when or where Ross Stripling's broadcasting career will begin, but I know he'll be great at it.

Since 2026 is here, this is a good time to share the one starter pack I created. It is the official accounts of every #MLB team that is on Bluesky, which is 28 of 30 teams plus the league account. Only the Astros and Cubs have not joined Bluesky and many are not posting here. go.bsky.app/EPuUUoT

Eagles don’t even know their first-round opponent

RIP to the Ryan Fitzgerald-James Outman Spiderman meme

Driving past the ballpark for the Dodgers’ new Cal League affiliate, I explained to my wife what a “Tower Buzzer” means in baseball slang. Her: “But that’s bad, right? If every pitch they throw is running in on the batter’s head, they would never win.” Me: “Good point. I’ll let them know.”

If you start watching The Ten Commandments right now, the big stone tablet reveal will drop at midnight, and everyone will have left your party by then, so you can just watch the movie until 1:41 in the morning all by yourself. You’re welcome, psycho.

Join us in wishing Sandy Koufax a happy 90th birthday! Some Hall of Fame advice from the legendary lefty: “I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.”

I MAILED MY BALLOT TODAY! TODAY!!! @baseballhall.org

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

This is my favorite thing I wrote all year. My first story in the New York Times. But it was already my favorite before it ever published, for a couple reasons and if you’ll indulge me… www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/s...

I now understand this reference. Never would I ever have guessed which reliever.

BREAKING: Left fielder Tyler Soderstrom and the A's are in agreement on a seven-year, $86 million contract extension, the largest guarantee in franchise history, sources tell ESPN. The deal includes an eighth-year club option and has escalators that max it out at $131 million.

Christmas, Starr, St., Nick, Rudolph, Jesus, and three other guys. Did I do this #immaculategrid right?

Happy retirement to Jae-gyun Hwang. I covered one-sixth of his career in Major League Baseball, which consisted of 18 games.

This is your annual reminder that “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (aka “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”) has the same meter as — and therefore can be recited to the tune of — “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”

It isn't the same as the Baseball Hall of Fame, but when Oak Tree Charcuterie comes calling with an opening on their Instagram holiday card, who says no?

You know, it really goes to prove what my uncle always said is true: it’s never too late to start a cult, and never too soon to ascend to Valhalla and leave your followers behind

RIP Andy Kosco. Never a star outfielder, but always found his way onto good teams.

EVERY REDFIN LISTING NEEDS AN IMAGE OF THE FLOOR PLAN.

MLB's tech regulation plans give itself full control over who can do business with baseball. And I learned an AI scouting firm — founded by the uncle of an exec in Rob Manfred’s inner circle — may win a bid. Team sources and antitrust experts told me it creates a conflict of interest. NEW from me:

Gonna tell my kids this was Phillip Rivers

Well, that’s one way to retire.

Fun fact: Newsrooms used to have sharp metal spindles near copy desks where stories deemed unworthy of publication would be literally “spiked.” It was not uncommon for angry/drunk editors to smash stories on the spindles, puncturing their hands and causing the pages to be smeared in blood Cc: CBS

Well, that’s one way to retire.

Going on @foxla.bsky.social to discuss Tyler Skaggs

Happy for Padres fans who, after hearing for weeks about which East team was going to sign Michael King, now get to worry about how many starts he’ll actually make for them over the life of his contract.

At 33, Washington Nationals pitcher Trevor Williams is now older than both his manager and general manager.

Man. Talk about early coal in the stocking for Big Christmas

In country circles, they called him “Little Hurt”
