 Free agency gives players the opportunity to negotiate their own contracts and determine their value. However, the road to free agency isn’t a quick one and it takes several years to reach. Unlike the NFL or NBA, MLB does not have a salary cap, and some teams, like the Dodgers, are handing out massive contracts. Should there be a salary cap in free agency, or should players have an easier path to...

The Marlins are going back to their little league days and calling pitches from their dugout. They have a whole sequence to get the pitch call to the pitcher, but is it effective and does it allow the pitcher to be able to shake it? There are both pros and cons to this method and it should be interesting to see how this system ends up going.  For 20% off your first purchase, head to FairHarborClot...

There is a new system coming for the ‘26 season and nobody can do anything about it. The Automatic Ball-Strike System will now allow teams to start with two challenges each and can be used by the pitcher, the catcher, or the batter to challenge a call. However, the teams only lose challenges that the umpire’s original call is correct. Will this system end up being a good choice, or will it not mak...
