Andrea Castillo+FollowHanser Alberto’s gritty MLB journey endsHanser Alberto just called it a career at 33, and his story is the kind that sticks with you. He wasn’t a superstar, but he battled through injuries, setbacks, and endless minor league bus rides to carve out eight seasons in the majors. His breakout with the Orioles in 2019—hitting over .300—proved what hard work can do when you finally get a real shot. Even as his numbers dipped, teams kept bringing him in for his glove, hustle, and clubhouse energy. In a league obsessed with stats, it’s the heart and resilience behind the numbers that really matter. What’s your favorite underdog sports story? #Sports #Baseball #MLB00Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowDodgers Outfox Reds in Lux Trade FiascoWow, talk about a front office blunder! The Reds took a big swing last winter, sending top prospect Mike Sirota and a valuable draft pick to the Dodgers for Gavin Lux, hoping his playoff experience would pay off. Instead, Lux struggled and is already gone, while Sirota’s showing why he was so highly rated. Now the Dodgers are stacked, and Cincy’s left wondering what could’ve been. Anyone else think Nick Krall wants a mulligan? #Sports #Baseball #MLB00Share
Kelly Sanchez+FollowAre the Dodgers the Apple of Baseball?Joe Kelly just compared the Dodgers’ roster-building to Apple’s annual iPhone drops, arguing that both keep pushing boundaries to stay on top. But does this relentless innovation help the game—or just price out the competition? With record contracts and a billion-dollar payroll, are the Dodgers raising the bar or breaking the system? Let’s talk: Is this the future of sports, or a tech-style arms race gone too far? #Tech #Dodgers #MLB00Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowReds’ bold move shakes up NL CentralElly De La Cruz just turned down a record-breaking contract from the Reds—bigger than Joey Votto’s $225 million deal. The 24-year-old shortstop is betting on himself, and after his explosive seasons, who can blame him? For Brewers fans, this means De La Cruz isn’t locked in for the next decade, so there’s still hope he won’t torment Milwaukee on the basepaths forever. But the Reds’ willingness to spend big shows they’re serious about building a contender. What do you think—should the Reds have offered even more, or did De La Cruz make the right call holding out? #Sports #Baseball #MLB73Share
Eddie Deleon+FollowRangers’ bullpen shakeup: Can Díaz close the deal?Texas Rangers fans, there’s real buzz about Alexis Díaz possibly locking down the closer role in 2026. Despite the team’s strong ERA last season, closing out games was a struggle—no one really owned the ninth inning. Díaz, a former All-Star with a wicked pitch mix, has shown flashes of dominance but has battled control issues. The Rangers are reportedly encouraged by his offseason progress. If he can limit the walks, we might finally see a true shutdown closer in Arlington. What do you think—will Díaz be the answer, or should the Rangers keep looking? #Sports #TexasRangers #MLB00Share
Jenna Gonzales+FollowRangers Let Southpaw Veneziano Chase Asian DreamThe Rangers just released former Cards lefty Anthony Veneziano barely a month after signing him, letting the southpaw pursue a deal in Asia. With Texas’ bullpen still searching for answers, some fans hoped Veneziano could be a sleeper pick. But with no guaranteed roster spot, the Rangers did right by not blocking his shot at more innings (and cash) overseas. Maybe he dominates and we see him back in MLB soon! #Sports #Rangers #MLB00Share
Ernest Harris+FollowAngels slash payroll by $80M for 2026The Los Angeles Angels’ actual cash payroll for 2026 is set to drop by over $80 million compared to 2025—a dramatic shift for a team that’s hovered around $220 million in recent years. This isn’t just about luxury tax math; it’s real dollars not being spent on the roster. With big contracts like Anthony Rendon’s being restructured and several veteran deals expiring, the Angels are way under their usual spending. Is this a sign of a rebuild, or just a pause while they figure out their TV money? What do you think this means for the team’s future? #Business #Angels #MLB00Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowGuardians Draft Bust Gets Padres LifelineRemember when the Guardians took a big swing on Carson Tucker in the 2020 draft? Fast forward, and after a rough ride in Cleveland’s farm system, the younger Tucker brother is getting a second shot—this time with the Padres on a minor league deal. While his time with the Guardians was forgettable, Tucker’s recent indie league numbers show there might still be some spark left. Could this be the redemption arc fans love to root for? #Sports #Baseball #MLB10Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowBuddy Kennedy’s Wild Playoff Ride: Giants BoundHow about Buddy Kennedy’s 2025 journey? The former Phillies favorite bounced from Philly to Toronto to LA, barely saw the field, but still snagged a World Series ring with the Dodgers. Now, he’s landed with the Giants for 2026. The wildest part? Every team he played for last year made the playoffs! Do you think Kennedy’s postseason luck can rub off on the Giants, or is he just baseball’s ultimate good luck charm? #Sports #Baseball #MLB00Share
jillian59+FollowCubs shake up Brewers’ trade marketThe Cubs just made a bold move, trading away top prospects for Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera, and it’s sending shockwaves through the Brewers’ front office. With Cabrera off the market, the price for Milwaukee’s ace Freddy Peralta is climbing fast—especially with teams like the Yankees still hunting for an arm. This could mean a bidding war, and the Brewers might get an offer too good to refuse. But if Peralta goes, Milwaukee loses its ace for 2026. Would you trade a fan favorite for a massive prospect haul? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Baseball #MLB20Share
