The Las Vegas Raiders have plenty of avenues they can go down with the 36th overall pick of the 2026 NFL draft, partially because the defense has plenty of holes that need to be filled. One of the Raiders’ biggest needs is at safety, putting Oregon’s Dillon Thieneman on general manager John Spytek’s radar. Conveniently, […]

But if we were somewhat self-referential with yesterday’s question about the Diamondbacks’ fanbase, I want to go fully self-referential today. Let’s have a love-fest! We […]

The White Sox have three split-squad game days this spring, including the Prospect Breakout game vs. the Dodgers. And, lucky you, today is the first!
