I am a former sports editor, an old guy who never lost his appreciation of baseball and the absurd. I particularly like it when the two intersect.

Orioles prospect Ike Irish singled and drove in three runs to lift the Javelinas into the Az Fall League title game.
Irish slashed .328/.439/.507 with a .946 OPS during the AFL regular season.

I think it may come down to whether the Blue Jays can void the contract as the Dodgers did with Trevor Bauer.
Have heard a rumor that Anthony Santander may never play for the Blue Jays again.
If that eventuates, he would have played just 54 games after signing a $92.5M deal, hitting .175 AVG with a -1.0 WAR.

When Rivera was elected unanimously my hope was we would get beyond the-I-pride-myself-on-never-voting-for-a-guy-on-his-first-time-on-the-ballot nonsense.
Jeter is in.
It's been six years.
I really don't care what your reasoning was.
I don't think you are brave.
I won't watch.
Confession: I was the writer who didn't vote for Derek Jeter, ensuring he wouldn't be a unanimous Hall of Famer. I will be on Fox and Friends Friday morning, discussing my brave decision and my even braver decision to come forward and announce it. I covered the Yankees for years, and there are specific reasons I came to this conclusion. In fact, I feel other writers weren't as brave as I was, and many commended me for it.

The Brewers' Jett Williams, a consistent top-100 prospect, hit .225 in the Arizona Fall League in 2024.
He's hitting .224 this fall.

There are better days for Milwaukee
On Nov. 7, 1964, the NL owners found a way to make two cities unhappy.
They OK'd the Braves' move from Milwaukee to Atlanta, but they forced the Braves to play one more season in Milwaukee.

I think this guy is serious, but I can't tell for sure.
Does he really not realize that every pro baseball player these days can hit a 90 mph pitch?
Many American baseball fans disagreed with my last tweet so here's an open challenge to all baseball fans
Can anyone name even ONE clutch baseball player who has hit a ball travelling at 90mph ?
I can name 4 to 5 clutch cricket players who have done it multiple times
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
MLB four-seam fastballs averaged 94.8 mph in 2026 with thousands of 100+ mph pitches thrown and routinely hit by batters including in World Series and other clutch situations.

Even without Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton for most of the season, the Yankees still finished second in MLB in homers with 223.

The Blue Jays scored the fewest runs in MLB in 2026 (648).
They scored the fourth-most in 2025 (798).

I feel that if the Rays had won Game 3 and lost Game 4, people would view their chances to overcome the current 3-1 deficit more favorably.
Can Tampa Bay Rays do the unthinkable? World Series comeback would be unparalleled
