Orioles Should Go After Athletics Pitcher To Upgrade Their Starting Rotation

Sat, 2025-07-05 09:00

Not having a viable starting rotation and bullpen has been a major reason why this team has performed in such a disappointing manner, with the idea of them competing for a World Series championship and division title ending virtually as soon as the season began. While they offered Corbin Burnes a contract that would have made him the highest-paid pitcher on an AAV basis in Major League Baseball history, they didn't do much to replace him when he decided to sign with the Arizona Diamondbacks instead. Because of that, this is looking like a lost year for the Orioles. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Athletics "are now open to trading" Luis Severino just half of a season into the three-year, $67 million contract he signed this past winter.

Cubs Should Pursue Athletics Star Pitcher Who Is Now on Trade Block

Fri, 2025-07-04 14:00

Adding a starting pitcher is a must for the Chicago Cubs. With Justin Steele out of the mix for the rest of the season, their already-thin rotation has been pushed to the limit during the past couple of months. The return of Shota Imanaga came at the perfect time and was very welcome, but to truly make a deep run in the playoffs, the front office has to add another ace-caliber arm to the equation. The veteran right-hander had a resurgent year with the New York Mets last season, posting a 3.91 ERA in 31 starts that was reminiscent of what he did before his shoulder and elbow injuries.

SF Giants-Athletics rivalry has devolved into the battle for Yolo County

Fri, 2025-07-04 08:25

The Athletics have fallen and can't get up. The Giants, even after splitting a four-game series in Arizona, are nine games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers win too often to make up that kind of ground. Maybe it's fitting the Giants and A's will play their final series of the season against each other in a minor league ballpark.

The Athletics have fallen and can't get up. The Giants have lost touch with the Los Angeles Dodgers, their once-burgeoning National League West hopes relegated to a fringe wild card chase by the Fourth of July. Maybe it's fitting the two will play their final series of the season against each other in a minor league ballpark because that's the brand of baseball the former rivals are putting on display. The Battle of the Bay has devolved into a grim struggle for the hearts of Yolo County.
