The Kansas City Royals and 5 forgotten free agents

Image
  As all of   baseball   eagerly awaits next weekend’s start of the Winter Meetings, and KC Royals fans wonder what, if any, meaningful deals general manager J.J. Picollo might pull off while he’s there,   Kansas City Royals    free agents continue to draw scant attention. That’s not surprising. He had his moments in 2023, especially late in the campaign, but after losing 15 games with a 5.06 ERA, even sure Hall of Famer like Zack Greinke isn’t going to attract tremendous interest. He’s also 40 and hasn’t said whether he’ll return for a 21st big league season. Brad Keller’s future is also cloudy, but for different reasons. A two-time KC Pitcher of the Year but first-time tester of free agency, Keller hasn’t had a winning season since 2020 and spent much of 2023 on the Injured List with a bad shoulder and signs of thoracic outlet syndrome. Also facing uncertainty is reliever Josh Staumont, who wasn’t a free agent until the club non-tendered him earlier this month. There’s also Matt Duff

Even the Rams horns have changed drastically on the Rams helmets. 1890’s Brooklyn Bridegrooms. The 1890’s version of the Dodgers. The Brooklyn Bridegrooms, so named because so many of the players had recently married. Notice that they have collars on them, and they are laced up the front ending in what looks like a string tie. High knee stockings. Too bad they did not have color photography back then. Have no idea what color the lettering was. The guy in the suit is manager, Bill McGunnigle. 1910 Dodger Jersey By 1910 the look had changed quite a bit. No lacing up the front. Buttons were concealed by the flap reading Brooklyn horizontally.

Key Players to Watch on the San Diego Padres

  The   San Diego Padres   may not be the most well-known or successful franchise in Major League Baseball history, but they have still produced a handful of superstar players. The Friars have compiled an all-time record of 3,952–4,568 as of 2022. They have only had seven postseason appearances since their first season in 1969, though two of those resulted in National League pennants. And while the Padres have finished last in their division 20 times and haven’t had a winning record from 2011 to ’19, they’re still a franchise worth celebrating—and one that has found a resurgence with young talent.

The Fan Perspective: Sleeveless MLB Jerseys and the Ultimate Fan Experience

Image
  As an avid baseball fan, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to show my support for my favorite team. I love wearing jerseys to the ballpark, but sometimes, especially on hot summer days, the traditional sleeveless jersey can be a bit too warm. That’s why I’m thrilled to see sleeveless   MLB jerseys   gaining popularity. Sleeveless jerseys  are not a new concept in sports. They have been worn in other sports, such as basketball and football, for years. But recently, MLB teams have started introducing sleeveless jerseys as an alternate option for fans to wear. This is a game-changer for me because it allows me to stay cool and comfortable while still proudly displaying my team’s colors. One of the reasons why I love sleeveless jerseys is their versatility. They can be easily paired with a variety of outfits. I can wear them with shorts, jeans, or even a skirt, and I still look like a dedicated fan. This opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for game day outfits, allowing me t
