There’s something often prized above star power in baseball. It lies at the heart of the sport’s superstitions. It’s what a hitter aims for while drilling their swing, and what a pitcher practices with each wind-up. At the end of a lengthy 162-game regular season, it also tends to determine a player or team’s statistical […]
This is another photo from BCB reader Clark Addison. As you know, Mark Prior suffered two serious injuries that eventually ended his MLB career.

The Seahawks had to fight harder than expected to beat the Falcons.

The New Jersey Devils were one of the teams in the mix and that made an offer for Quinn Hughes, but the Minnesota Wild landed the star defenseman. That doesn't mean the Devils aren't going to continue trying to upgrade, but there are two players they can do without who are taking up a lot of cap space. Unfortunately, they have trade protection, so it's tougher to move them. Elliotte Friedman said, "Ondrej Palat is the one I think a lot of people are talking about, but he has protection, and I ...
