• 158 | The Alex Bregman Fallout
    Feb 20 2025

    A 1.240 career OPS at Fenway would've been enough for Alex Bregman to choose the #RedSox, but $40M per certainly didn't hurt. But did anyone give Rafael Devers the meno?

    #Tigers owner Chirs Ilitch and president Scott Harris proved to skeptical fans that they were all in with a 6-year, $171M offer for Bregman. At the same time, they are also fortunate that he simply didn't want to be in Detroit.

    #Cubs' embarrassing Bregman offer and desperate pivot to Justin Turner makes the Cody Bellinger trade look even worse and exposes ownership's toxic relationship with private investment groups.

    A Vladimir Guerrero Jr. trade sounds fun, but it does not make sense for Chicago or Detroit.

    We debut our new gameshow, "Chicago #WhiteSox or Chicago Alderman?"

    New Era has some explaining to do with not one, but TWO regrettable Spring Training cap design errors.

    Tom Ricketts told #Cubs fans they should stop talking about money since his goal is to merely 'break even' every year.Ken Rosenthal told him he should open his books or shut his mouth.

    After trading for Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressley, will the Chicago Astros complete the trifecta by signing Alex Bregman?

    New "Blues Alternate" uniforms are an electrifying addition to the north side of Sweet Home Chicago.

    Will the #WhiteSox take home as many wins as the number of giveaways scheduled for 2025?

    #Tigers president Scott Harris pulled off a Houdini by trading Jack Flaherty at the deadline for a starting SS and a top #100 from the #Dodgers and then signing him back to build the best rotation in the American League.

    DoesGleyber Torres' addition portend the end for Spencer Torkelson in Detroit?

    History and math make the case for Alex Bregman to land anywhere but the Motor City.

    The Tour de Orange continues for Justin Verlander, but is the 42-year-old juice worth the squeeze for the #SFGiants?

    The notoriously frugal NOakland A’s suddenly go on a spending spree as soon as they leave town. Meanwhile, it’s Mission Accomplished for exiting president David Kavalafter fucking over the entire fanbase.

    Oakland lost its team and now its favorite son in the span of a few brutal months, but the legend of Rickey Henderson will live on forever.

    MLB was forced to dishonorably discharge one of its few good umps when Pat Hoberg made a series of galactically stupid decisions off the field that violated the league's crystal clear gambling policies to earn ourAsshole of the Week.

  • 156 | BREAKING: Sammy Sosa Offers Bullshit Apology
    Dec 20 2024

    BREAKING NEWS: Sammy Sosa is STILL a piece of shit even after Tom Ricketts accepts his insincere apology that leaned far more towards excuse-making than actual contrition.


    Jed Hoyer made the best trade of his #Cubs tenure, followed by his worst trade just a few hours later: acquiring superstar Kyle Tucker and then paying the #Yankees $5M to take Cody Bellinger off their payroll.


    Nothing in life is Guaranteed™ as the #WhiteSox renamed their stadium for the fourth time since it opened in 1991.


    Let the airing of grievances commence as we celebrate SoxFestivus!

  • 154 | BADASS of the Year
    Nov 6 2024

    What kind of sweetheart deal did the #WhiteSox have to offer Will Venable to get him to want to be their manager? Is Jerry Reinsdorf really ready to sell his beloved Sox, or are there ulterior motives behind putting the idea out for public consumption? Will former top prospects and first-time free agents Yoan Moncada or Eloy Jimenez get Major League offers? Jed Hoyer finds fewer pathways to transform his chronically mediocre #Cubs as Cody Bellinger opts in and Nico Hoerner is forced to have surgery. Will Matt Chapman, Garrett Crochet, Tarik Skubal, or A.J. Hinch + the #Tigers bullpen take home BADASS of the Year honor? A couple of brainless Bronx jamokes steal headlines from an epic #WorldSeries matchup after assaulting Mookie Betts to earn our Asshole of the Week dishonor.

    Oct 2 2024

    Criminal charges should be filed if AJ Hinch doesn't win AL Manager of the Year as the #Tigers' impossible run into the postseason rolls on. Taking home the AL Triple Crown and his first playoff victory easily earns Tarik Skubal our Badass of the Week honor. #WhiteSox make the worst kind of history as more damning details of Jerry Reinsdorf's gross negligence emerge. Jed Hoyer should be feeling the heat as his mediocre #Cubs miss the playoffs once again. #SFGiants replace Farhan Zaidi with legend Buster Posey as president of baseball operations despite ZERO experience and questionable negotiating skills. Make no mistake — the ONLY reason the A's just played their final game in Oakland is because John Fisher is an asshole. ASSTHETICS: #MLB finally comes to their senses and reverts to pre-Nike/Fanatics shitty uniforms. MajorLeagueAholes.com

    Aug 27 2024

    From a Standing O to a Golden Sombrero to the operating table, it's been one hell of a week and potentially the end of a wild career for #Cubs legend and #Tigers disappointment, Javier Báez. Winning series is nice, but the #SFGiants and Cubs need to go on long unbeaten steaks to even begin approaching Wild Card contention. Dubious history awaits the #WhiteSox as their death march toward the worst season in #MLB history trudges on... ESPN's E60 examines the legal case to give Jim Joyce some peace and Armando Galarraga credit for his perfect game. With all due respect to the prodigious Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani's grand entrance to the exclusive 40/40 Club earns our Badass of the Week.
