MLB City Connect: All 28 uniforms ranked, from the so-so to the sublime
As the Minnesota Twins took the field last Friday, they became the 28th team to debut their City Connect uniforms, capping off the first round of Nike’s planned three-year cycle of city-inspired fits. (It will begin again this week as the Dodgers debut their second iteration.) The two teams not participating in this round were the New York Yankees, who don’t mess around with their classic look, and the Oakland Athletics, who are in a complicated situation with the city
MLB Player Poll 2024: Worst organizations, the most overrated peer, best vibes guy and more
In last year’s edition of The Athletic’s annual MLB Player Poll, almost 60 percent of the players we spoke to predicted Shohei Ohtani would be playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024. None of them likely could have imagined the record-shattering contract (and deferrals) that went alongside that move, but they definitely have thoughts about it now.
This spring, over the course of two and half months, we interviewed more than 100 players — almost evenly split between
MLB trade deadline tiers: Buyers, sellers and those in between — plus needs for all 30 teams
The normal blueprint for MLB front offices is to spend the first two months of the season evaluating their team, the next two months trying to improve it — for either the short- or long-term based on those evaluations along with the actual standings — and the final two months getting ready for the postseason or next year depending on the team’s situation. When going through this process, clubs understand that some players have overachieved, and others have underachieved. They

Nun,
Reasons for each MLB team to be optimistic — and pessimistic — about the rest of the season
Believe it or not, we have played five weeks of the regular season, and already we’ve seen enough to identify reasons for optimism and pessimism for all 30 teams.
Is the glass half-empty? Half-full? From those at the top of the MLB power rankings to those at the bottom, every team has reasons for hope and concern in 2024.

Reason for optimism: The Braves have the best lineup in baseball one to nine, with athleticism, power
MLB-Insider sind „ziemlich besorgt“ über die Zunahme von Armverletzungen bei jungen Top-Startspielern
Matt Blake schickte dem Pitcher der Cleveland Guardians, Shane Bieber, am Wochenende eine versöhnliche Nachricht. Als Mitglied des Spielerentwicklungssystems von Cleveland in den 2010er Jahren unterstützte Blake Biebers Aufstieg vom College-Walk-on zum einstimmigen Cy Young Award-Gewinner der American League im Jahr 2020. Eine Zeit lang repräsentierte Bieber das moderne Modell für die Herstellung eines großen Liga-Ass, ein Spieler, der seinem Körper mehr Stärke, seinem Fastball Schnelligkeit und seinem Offspeed-Pitch mehr Spin verlieh, als er die Ränge aufstieg.
Als Blake seine
MLB offseason grades 2.0 : Which teams passed — and which teams failed
The Athletic’s MLB offseason grades 1.0.
By Tim Britton, Grant Brisbee and Aaron Gleeman
According to a report by an economics professor at Yale University, roughly 80 percent of all grades handed out to undergraduate students last year were As. Too bad for major-league executives, then, that they don’t attend Yale (at least not anymore, in several cases). The grading is going to be harsher here.
The best teachers, of course, are kind enough to allow for revision. We first
2024 MLB ‘Wild-Card Era’ Franchise Rankings: Rangers break into top 10, Cubs fall out
As Jonah Heim squeezed the final strike of the 2023 postseason and Josh Sborz spiked his mitt on the mound to celebrate the Texas Rangers’ first World Series title, a thought crossed my mind: How will this change the franchise rankings?
See, the Wild-Card Era (1995 to present) franchise rankings are not a creation of my fallible mind. They are borne from a tested, trusted, completely objective, never-been-questioned, all-math, no-bias formula borrowed from football writer Bob Sturm and tweaked to
Brewers und RHP Jakob Junis vereinbaren einen Einjahresvertrag über 7 Millionen US-Dollar: Quellen
Er wird Corbin Burnes nicht ersetzen. Aber die Milwaukee Brewers stehen kurz davor, einen Free Agent zu verpflichten, der letzte Saison als Starter nur begrenzte Erfolge erzielen konnte.
Das Team hat sich mit dem Rechtshänder Jakob Junis auf einen Einjahresvertrag über 7 Millionen US-Dollar geeinigt, bis zu einer körperlichen Untersuchung, wie über die Gespräche informierte Quellen berichten. Junis, der in dieser Saison 4 Millionen US-Dollar mit einem Buyout von 3 Millionen US-Dollar auf einer gegenseitigen Option erhält, wird ein Startkandidat
Top 100 MLB prospects 2024: Keith Law’s rankings, with Jackson Holliday at No. 1
Welcome to this year’s ranking of the top 100 prospects in baseball. I’ve been compiling and writing such rankings for 17 years now, and those of you who’ve read them before will find the format here similar to those from the recent past. My farm reports covering at least 20 prospects in each team’s system, and notes on prospects who might appear in the majors this year, or who might be breakout prospects for the 2025 rankings, will appear starting
