Your Oregon Ducks played host to the UCLA Bruins on Wednesday night, trying to right the ship amidst a six-game losing skid.

Despite the wealth of injuries among this cohort already, the Detroit Tigers didn’t back off of their draft strategy in 2025.

The Chicago Cubs, having brought back Christian Bethancourt as a third/veteran/depth catcher on a minor league deal, were probably not going to be a realistic return spot for Reese McGuire. Sure, they added two of those types last offseason (McGuire and Carlos Perez), but McGuire has since shown he can still be a quality big league back-up, and Moises Ballesteros has since emerged as a relative lock for the big league roster (where he might occasionally serve, himself, as the emergency third c...

In the previous iteration of the Houston Texans, before Watson unmasked himself, the offense excelled when Will Fuller V was streaking down the field like his nicknamesake The Flash.

Good morning friends. It was kind of a slow news day yesterday around baseball. Hopefully things will pick up again soon as we close in on spring training. Regardless, here are the stories we’re tracking as we pass the mid-week point. In Mariners news… Around the league…
When news broke that the Detroit Lions had added former Giants interim head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Kafka to their coaching staff, many began immediately wondering how he’d fit in.

Evan Sidery of Forbes reports that the Pistons, who currently have a $14.3 million trade exception, are contemplating a potential deal for Whi...
