For the past five seasons Rangers fans have seen the tear down. Now, as was announced and promised, comes the rebuild. But the reality is, the only way to rebuild this team into a true playoff-caliber team is with more tear down. Not a single player on the Rangers post-trade-deadline […]
Now, the long cold dark winter is upon us. Here, from CBS Sports, are the important upcoming off-season dates and deadlines. For convenience, clip and save on your refrigerator. Nov. 3: As of 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, all eligible players with six-plus years of service time, are free agents. Free […]
Jorge Soler was named the World Series MVP. He hit three home runs, including the back breaker in the clinching Game 6, drove in six, and had an OPS of 1.191. But there was another Brave who deserved MVP honors more than Soler. It’s Braves GM Alex Anthopolis. With his […]
Game 6. For Houston it’s do or die. For Atlanta, it’s a free game, playing with house money. After coming back from 4-0 in Game 5, Houston has to be on full-swagger mode. After being up three games to one in the Championship Series in 2020, only to lose it, […]
