Where Will Josh Donaldson Finish Playing in 2018?

Posted on June 13, 2018August 15, 2018 by John Metzler

Today, the Blue Jays got swept by a team with no starting pitchers. That’s a sentence I never thought I’d have to write, but here we are. The Tampa Bay Rays punted the 2018 season

Sam Gaviglio Wants Your Attention

Posted on June 7, 2018August 14, 2018 by John Metzler

What’s Wrong With Marcus Stroman?

Posted on May 1, 2018June 13, 2018 by John Metzler
