I can’t really understand this deal from the Red Sox perspective. While they didn’t give up much and Contreras is a good player, his archetype as a player doesn’t fit well with Fenway’s dimensions. Contreras is an incredibly pure hitter, but Fenway often rewards players that have extreme batted ball profiles (an example being Jarren Duran’s incredibly low 26.2% oppo rate on his batted balls in 2025). Because of this, we can’t really assume Contreras is going improve or even continue his current production on his new team. Best of luck to him though. He has the potential to be an incredibly electric player in the right situation. #MLB #RedSox #DirtyWater #Cardinals #ForTheLou @RedSox @Cardinals

Red Sox reportedly acquire 1B Willson Contreras from the Cardinals, per multiple reports including MLB's @Feinsand.

@Yankees, I’m gonna need you to sign Yoán Moncada. You might ask why I want the Yankees to sign a career .758 OPS hitter, but that doesn’t tell the full story. Moncada is in the top ten percent of max exit velocity in the entire league, and he’s pretty much a dead pull hitter from the left side. He’s one of the best hitters when it comes to discipline in the league through his whole career along with line drive rate/LA sweet spot %. His defense is quite shaky and he isn’t fast, but the dude is built for Yankee Stadium. #MLB #HotStove #Yankees #RepBX #YankeesBaseball @ymoncada19

Day 124 of Making Every MLB Player 1 of 1: Cam Schlittler Cam Schlittler is the only player in #MLB history to get a pitching win in Game 3 of a Wildcard Series in which his team did not win Game 1. I’d take a prop bet on Cam Schlittler over 200 Ks next year. 🔥 #MLB #Postseason #CLINCHED #CamSchlittler #yankeesvsredsox #Yankees #RepBX #yankeescity #YankeesTwitter #yankeeswin #YankeesBaseball #YankeesBaseball @Cam32Schlittler @Yankees @Yankees_Beisbol @yankeestadium

Comebacks. Drama. Craziness. Sept. 28, 2011 was one of the WILDEST final days of the season ever! Will today's #Game162 action match it?

Day 120 of Making Every MLB Player 1 of 1: Mason Miller Mason Miller is the only player in #MLB history to throw an immaculate inning (9/3/2025) by throwing 9 consecutive sliders. He also threw the fastest pitch in All-Star Game history (103.6) and is a top 5 earliest draft pick as a D3 player. This kid makes a lot of history. 🔥 #MLB #Padres #PadresWin #SanDiego #Athletics #Sacramento #Oakland @Padres @Padres

Day 119 of Making Every MLB Player 1 of 1: Ke’Bryan Hayes Ke’Bryan Hayes is the only player in #MLB history to record over 20 total OAA (21) and ten or more OAA on balls to his right (10) as a third baseman in a single season (2025). No slight to Westburg by the way, he was just making a good play to his right in the clip. Also, we need to talk about Hayes’ defense this year. Arenado hasn’t even done what Hayes has done this year! #MLB #septemberbaseball #Reds #ATOBTTR #Cincinnati #CincinnatiOhio #Pirates #RaiseIt #Pittsburgh #Orioles #Birdland #BaltimoreMD #Baltimore @KeBryanHayes @Reds @Pirates @Orioles

Day 87 of Making Every Former* MLB Player 1 of 1: Oscar Gonzalez Oscar Gonzalez is the only player in #MLB history to hit a walk-off home run in a Wildcard Series Game (Game 2, @RaysBaseball @ @CleGuardians 2022). 🔥 The asterisk is because he could technically come back (hopefully he does). However, he’ll be in the NPB for the next 2 years so it’s gonna be a while. He was ELECTRIC in 2022 though. *Also important to note that Chris Taylor’s walk-off home run in 2021 was in a Wildcard GAME.* #MLB #Guardians #GuardsBall #ClevelandGuardians #ClevelandOhio #Cleveland #SanDiego #Padres @CleGuardians @Padres

We've got an NL Wild Card matchup! The @Padres and @Cubs will square off in a best-of-3 series begining on Tues, Sept. 30. The venue will be decided this weekend 👀
