Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images Late in January, he New York Yankees addressed their bullpen with the addition of sidearmer Darren O’Day, who has a career 2.51 ERA and had a 1.10 mark in 2020 with Atlanta. However, having lost Tommy Kahnle, Adam Ottavino, and Jonathan Holder during the offseason, the unit still needs one or two more reliable arms. We have said numerous times that relying on Aroldis Chapman, Chad Green, and Zack Britton isn’t ideal (now, we can add O’Day to that mix). It’s not because they aren’t good; they are.

Josh Hader’s name has been in trade rumors for two years, and while the Milwaukee Brew...

A great side conversation popped up in the comments yesterday, and I want to share-and-comment-upon it, myself. In the context of talking about which starting pitchers the Cubs could realistically pursue this offseason – we tend to think it’s going to be the low-or-no-cost, high-risk, upside types – very much like the Shelby Miller signing – HeelTurn85 dropped this thought: If they Cubs spent $1.5M on a backup catcher [Austin Romine] rather than just rolling with Higgins, that means one of three things to me. 1. They really don’t like something about Higgins working with pitchers. 2...
