    Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images How do the Royals rank at catcher depth? David Lesky writes about the competition for fifth starter in the rotation. The thing about Lynch is the upside is there but I don’t see what I once saw. As I said before, maybe I never should have seen it, but I did and so did many others.

    Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images Oh, man. Here we go. The Cubs’ World Series core was given one more chance at contention in 2021. And they did get off to a good start. After a combined no-hitter over the Dodgers June 24, they were 42-33 and tied for first place in the NL Central. An 11-game losing streak followed, and overall they went 5-17 in their next 22 games, which put up the “FOR...2024

    Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports Four straight losses essentially end the Cubs’ season. The Cubs 2023 season ends in a fiery train wreck. Even in a season filled with ups and downs, this feels wrong.
