Although the day ended without any baseball action in Somerset, there was some fun amid the disappointment. Wednesday was Star Wars night, and fans were met with the opportunity to take photos with the likes of R2D2, Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, and various other Star Wars characters.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline has started with a bang, with the Seattle Mariners acquiring 1B/OF Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night. The deal comes as no surprise, with the Diamondbacks (50-53) sitting at three games below .500, and 5.5 games back of the third NL wild-card spot. 

When the Yankees shipped Caleb Durbin to the Brewers, expectations rose for the infielder to be a valuable member of a contending Milwaukee team. Although he had a solid spring training, Durbin was optioned to start 2025 as a member of the Nashville Sounds. He got the call to the majors not long after, when fellow third baseman Oliver Dunn was sent to AAA on April 18. 

Headlines around Juan Soto and Ben Rice have flashed in 2025, with discourse claiming them as the unluckiest hitters in the league.

While known aces like Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal often draw the majority of attention, many valuable pitchers find themselves lost among the mix of names. With over 150 starting pitchers active in MLB rotations, there are plenty of above-average contributors who go unheralded.

After throwing six innings of two-run ball tonight, and five hitless in his debut, Jacob Misiorowski has been thrust into the spotlight, and national attention has flocked his way. Fans all across the league have tuned in to the young righty’s starts, eager to catch a glimpse of Milwaukee’s budding ace.

After Rowdy Tellez stole second during the Mariners game on Tuesday, fans took to the internet to discuss the oddity. After all, how often do runners as slow as Tellez steal bases? Very rarely, that’s for sure.  When I saw the attention on Tellez, I was inspired to put together this list. I used the most recent stolen base of each player's career for simplicity, although there weren’t that many to browse through given their speed, or lack thereof.

The offensive landscape of Major League Baseball is constantly shifting, with breakout stars and subpar seasons emerging each year. In this crowded landscape, solid offensive contributors often go relatively unnoticed compared to the game's biggest stars. While household names like Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani take the headlines, those who are good but haven’t reached stardom often lack the recognition they deserve. Here are three under-the-radar hitters off to a hot start i

Since Adley Rutschman’s arrival in Baltimore in 2022, the Orioles have taken flight, enjoying steady contributions from the 27-year-old backstop. Recently, however, Rutschman has hit a roadblock, facing a down year in 2024 and experiencing a similar decline thus far in 2025. 

While expansion hasn’t officially been announced, an enthusiastic management group based in Nashville is confident about their chances. The group? Music City Baseball.
