Major League rule […]
Today we look at the Cubs’ veteran right-handed starter. Jameson Lee Taillon was born in Lakeland, Florida, 34 years ago. He was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 June Amateur Draft, going to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he toiled for four years, recorded 29 wins against 24 losses, and looked every bit of […]
It has to be said, the bonus months of baseball in Arizona are definitely a plus. When the rest of the country is still digging itself out of snow-drifts, the state becomes a mecca for all the MLB teams in the Western half of the country. It’s like having an All-Star Game in your backyard. […]
UPDATE: Trail Blazers players Deni Avdija (lower back injury management) and Robert Williams III (left knee injury management) are both questionable to play in tonight’s game.

Nikola Vučević delivered his most complete performance as a Celtic against a familiar opponent—his former team. Heading into the All-Star break, Vuc ensured he left a lasting impression, finishing with 19 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in a poised, controlled outing. It was a performance that reflected both rhythm and growing comfort within Boston’s system. […]
The Twins have acquired left-handed reliever Anthony Banda from the Dodgers in exchange for international bonus pool space. Banda was designated for assignment by the Dodgers earlier this week, essentially meaning the Twins gave the Dodgers a bit of cash to jump the waiver line. RHP Jackson Kowar, picked up off the waiver wire last […]
Chase Lee is a 27-year-old, side-arm, right-handed reliever we picked up in trade from the Tigers in December. The Tigers needed a spot on the 40-man roster. And I had totally forgotten he was on the 40-man. I think this is the first one I totally forgot about. I’m not sure if this is true, […]
People who closely follow the Brewers have been wondering: when is William Contreras’ arbitration hearing? In January, the two sides were separated by $1.35 million and did not come to an agreement.

AC Milan travel to the Arena Garibaldi as clear favourites in the Serie A clash against lowly Pisa. While the hosts are level on points with rock-bottom Hellas Verona, Milan have a chance to cut Inter’s lead at the top to five points. Sitting eight points behind neighbourhood rivals Inter, Milan emerge as the only […]
Though there are still land-based ice bergs everywhere I look, it is somehow baseball season this Friday. The Diamond Dores, as seemingly happens every year, open with a three game mini-tournament of sorts in Arlington, Tejas called “The Shriner’s Children’s College Showdown.” I’d say be on the lookout for fez-clad Boomers driving mini cars and/or […]
The Dodgers found a new home for Anthony Banda, trading the veteran left-handed reliever to the Minnesota Twins on Thursday for international bonus pool space, the teams announced. The amount of bonus pool space traded is reportedly $500,000, per Francys Romero. By rule, teams can trade space in increments of $250,000 unless trading the entirety […]

Connor McDavid has been waiting his entire life for this moment. Representing Canada on the international Olympic stage, a chance to be “pulling on that sweater, being in a room with the different generations of great players,” as he said in his Players’ Tribune piece last week, is something that’s taken far too long to…

There is a lot of discussion at the moment about how much money the Vancouver Whitecaps make. One thing I have seen come up a few times in various comment sections is that they are making money from selling players. This piqued my interest, so I decided to take a look at if the Whitecaps have been profitable player traders (spoiler alert: mostly not) and … Source
Some seem to believe that A.J. Brown’s recent public comments indicate he’ll definitely be back with the Philadelphia Eagles next season. Case closed. The sense here is that sentiment is more wishful thinking than reality. Recent reporting claims Brown’s “relationship with the team remains somewhat tenuous.” One NFL insider said he expects Brown trade talks […]
The youth movement continues. Following in the footsteps of yesterdays impressive performance from Slovakia’s Juraj Slafkovsky, it was the youngest player on the vaunted team Canada who put the favorites on the board first. With just five seconds remaining in the first period against Czechia, the budding superstar from San Jose Sharks Macklin Celebrini potted […]
The Philadelphia 76ers head into the NBA All-Star break at 30-24, good for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. On the surface, that’s perfectly fine, a modest overperformance relative to our preseason expectations. However, the team’s current two-game losing streak is a flashing warning sign for danger ahead. Now, you might be thinking, ‘Two-game losing […]
In an indication of the heightened level of these games at the Olympics, Connor McDavid threw an early hit in the corner of the offensive zone. Moments later, Czechia dragged McDavid down, and that sent what promises to be a productive power play onto the ice. It did have a few chances in its first two minutes of action in the tournament, but the Czechs did a good job defending to keep Canada off the board. Canada was the first team to put the puck in the net as Nathan MacKinnon flew into...
It has long been speculated that Rams tight end Tyler Higbee could retire this year, but one thing for certain is that his contract will expire next week.
