Before the 2026 trade deadline, a key player that truly attracts the attention of the world of baseball is Tarik Skubal. Are the Tigers going to trade him? If so, which team will be his next destination? There were many discussions about Skubal’s future.
A few days ago, I watched some highlights on the MLB website. Randomly, I saw highlights which showed Murakami’s home runs. So far this season, Murakami has blasted 30+ home runs and it’s his first year in the majors.
I already purchased 4 boxes of the 2025 Topps Holiday mega box. Well, the results were fine. I found 2 hits and got 3 chrome cards. It was fun to open those boxes and I did find something interesting.
Just a few days ago, I read a book about a pitcher’s journey in the majors. That player will soon become a Hall of Famer when he is first eligible. In the book, Zack Greinke, who was a teammate of that pitcher, was mentioned. Well, it seems that Greinke hasn’t officially announced his retirement. However, the last time he pitched in the majors was in 2023.
A few days ago, we reviewed some pitchers’ performances after being traded to a new team. This time, let’s shift our focus on position players. Several position players were sent to a new team and let’s see if they have done a great job in a new uniform.
A few weeks ago, I watched a game on TV. An analyst mentioned a player’s performance, and he indicated the pitcher has thrown some complete games so far in his career.
August just came to an end. The final month of the 2026 regular season is coming. This might be a very interesting month because a lot of teams are fighting hard for a spot in the postseason. We can see which players will make a huge impact to help their teams clinch a berth in the playoffs. Nonetheless, before that, several players had done a good job in August.
The 2026 MLB trade deadline was on August 3. Before the trade deadline, there were several trades that attracted a lot of fans’ attention. After those trades, do the players play well in the new team?
The Boston Red Sox have played very well after the All-Star break. I’ve watched several games of the Red Sox and they look quite different from the first half of the 2026 season. But interestingly, in a game, I saw the broadcaster show a player’s great performance against the Red Sox. Over the last few days, that player did hit well against the Red Sox.
A couple of days ago, I listened to a podcast show. In the show, the host and an analyst both mentioned the Toronto Blue Jays, which won the AL pennant last year. During the offseason, they did several moves to enhance the team. The goal is simple, to win the World Series title.
I listened to a podcast show a while ago. In the show, an analyst mentioned a team’s rotation and indicated that the team has done a great job to maintain its pitchers’ health. So the team’s rotation has been quite steady over the last few years.
It’s a sports card shop that I haven’t visited for quite a while. Well, as I remember that the last time I went there was some time before the covid-19 pandemic. I used to go there several times.
In late July, the Boston Red Sox and the Washington Nationals agreed to a trade. In the deal, the Red Sox sent pitcher Connelly Early to the Nationals. At the same time, the Nationals sent Curtis Mead to the Red Sox. While reading news about the trade, well, so many analysts shared their opinions.
In late July, Salvador Perez became the all-time home run leader for the Kansas City Royals. This is something incredible for Salvador Perez. Since making his MLB debut in 2011, he has become an extremely important player for the team. While reading news about becoming the franchise home run leader, I’m just thinking about his hitting performance with the Royals.
Previously, I already opened 3 mega boxes of the 2025 Topps Holiday. Well, I was thinking that 3 boxes were enough. However, a few weeks ago, I saw vendors on amazon were selling a 2025 Topps Holiday mega box at a discount price.
The 2026 MLB All-Star game was held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Dylan Cease, who’s from the Blue Jays, made the start for the AL All-Stars. At the same time, Cristopher Sanchez, who’s the ace of the Phillies, took the mound for the NL All-Stars. Interestingly, there’s a pitcher who used to make a start for both teams in the mid-summer classic.
Before the trade deadline, Mason Miller had been frequently named as a potential to enhance the bullpen as several rumors were mentioned. In the end, he stayed with the Padres. Miller is one of the dominant relief pitchers in the majors. While reading several posts about him, I was just wondering about one thing.
In early July, Justin Verlander announced that he will retire after the 2026 season. This is certainly huge news in baseball. Justin Verlander is one of the best pitchers in the majors. Without a doubt, he will soon become a Hall of Famer after retiring.
A few days ago, I listened to a podcast show. In the show, an analyst indicated that a player is a line drive hitter. That player has a great season so far and actually he has crushed a lot of home runs. After listening to the podcast show, I was just wondering about one thing.
The 2026 All-Star game was successfully held in Philadelphia. After the mid-summer classic, the second half of the 2026 season officially began. After the All-Star break, several players have hit very well. And let’s see how hot they are.
