[…]
Happy Tuesday! A rough outing from starter Luis Castillo led to seven earned runs and an eventual 4-11 loss to the Minnesota Twins yesterday. Cal Raleigh’s seventh home run and RHP Alex Hoppe’s MLB debut were the lone bright spots in the otherwise difficult game. Logan Gilbert takes the mound today against Twins ace Joe […]
When Luke Wilson steps on the floor wearing Syracuse across his chest in November, he won’t be the first big man in recent years who has made the small town of Boone, North Carolina proud. He’ll simply be the latest. The ACC patch that will be on his uniform is the same that Tre’Von Spillers […]
This Week in the Minors is our weekly look at notable performances from all over the system, from big-name prospects and less-heralded guys alike. The mission is to answer this simple question: “Who had a good week?” Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers (12-14, 5.5 games back) It was a rough week for the Storm Chasers; they […]
For a third series in a row, the Orioles come up against a team that is currently in last place in its division. This is a surprising statement to make for this next opponent, the Astros, who have consistently been pretty good over the last decade. It is early to give up on them and […]
In June of 1858, Abraham Lincoln warned us that “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Fast forward eight score and seven and a half years later, and he might as well have been talking about the 2026 Boston Red Sox. Given the backdrop, it’s all too fitting that the conflict and internal turmoil within […]
The idea of a blockbuster trade between the Los Angeles Rams and the Dallas Cowboys involving George Pickens may have seemed far-fetched just months ago. But as the dust settles from the 2026 NFL Draft and contract realities begin to take shape, the framework for a potential partnership could take shape. Factor #1: Rams still […]
Now that the dust has settled and we’ve had some time to evaluate the entire process, I think the New Orleans Saints did a great job in the draft and had a clear vision with a patient approach. They never got aggressive or attempted to move up. If anything, they played the board and used […]

Draft data exposes troubling trends in the Miami Dolphins’ 2026 class, but fans shouldn’t panic just yet.
Through the first few weeks of the professional baseball season in 2026, a headline for the Nationals has been the talent in the farm system blossoming, as many of their top prospects, and a few surprise names, have been raking to begin the year. Chief among that group is shortstop Ronny Cruz, who made the […]
The Bills lost in Denver, 33-30. Overtime. Five turnovers. A Josh Allen fumble, a James Cook fumble, and a Brandin Cooks “interception” in OT that, honestly, you could argue both ways until you’re blue in the face. It was painful, it was messy, and yes — it was on no one other than the Bills. […]
Newcastle United could be preparing to adjust their summer transfer plans in goal, with uncertainty surrounding the Magpies’ net ahead of next season.

Ole Miss baseball’s first trip to Trustmark Park this season was a memorable thrashing of Southern Miss, and tonight the Governor’s Cup brings a chance to avenge an embarrassing sweep at home to rival Mississippi State. The No. 17 Rebels (31-14, 11-10 SEC) and No. 10 Bulldogs (34-10, 13-8 SEC) have a first pitch set […]
With the 2026 NFL Draft weekend behind us, teams will introduce their latest rookie class to the league in hopes of having them become part of the next Super Bowl puzzle.

Before the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg against Arsenal, Atlético Madrid captain Koke spoke to the media to address the big occasion. “As the day gets closer, I get nervous and my stomach churns. It’s kind of like your first date with a girl you’ve just met,” Koke explained in his media availability on […]
Carson Williams had a fairly underwhelming stint in the majors this year after being thrust into the starting SS role. The game appeared to speed up on him; he expanded the zone more than ever and committed several uncharacteristic defensive miscues. While the defense will almost certainly rebound to comfortably plus territory across a larger […]
The Miami Dolphins went into the 2026 NFL Draft with a serious need for a wide receiver (or two… or three) after parting ways with both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle this offseason. The team selected Caleb Douglas out of Texas Tech with their first third round draft pick, but doubled down at the position […]
