Canucks Rumors: 3 Teams Very Interested In Acquiring Garland

The Vancouver Canucks are headed towards a rebuild or retool, and whichever it is, players are going to be sold off. One of those players, who is at least garnering a lot of interest, is Conor Garland. Elliotte Friedman said, "I think there are some teams that are very interested, teams like Minnesota, Boston, potentially Philadelphia, others." There is another way to look at this situation though. David Pagnotta said, "There's a reason they signed (Garland) to a six-year extension. They'd lik...

Cubs walkoff heroes: Willson Contreras, May 11, 2019

EDITOR’S NOTE: Once again, I am doing a repost here, largely because this walkoff home run by Willson Contreras came very, very close to me in the left-field bleachers on what was a very, very cold, rainy and long afternoon (four hours, 56 minutes of game time in a 15-inning contest). Lightly edited, here is […]

How To Mitigate the Loss of Eugenio Suarez

Inspiration. Last Season, Eugenio Suarez hit 49 homers, divided between two teams.  This season, he will not be a Diamondback.  How are the Diamondbacks going to compensate for the loss? Let’s assume that Suarez will regress to only 10% more than his 2024 total of 30 homers (2026 projected 33 homers).  Currently, Blaze Alexander is […]

Yankees Potential Trade Target: Jo Adell

Maybe your first instinct when reading the title of this post will be the same as mine when first contemplating the idea of writing about the subject. Jo Adell is a young player who the Angels surely will want to keep hold of for their long-term—but, well, it isn’t quite so simple. Adell will be […]

Artemi Panarin Has Ominous Statement About his Future

Back in November, rumors began to spread that New York Rangers' pending UFA Artemi Panarin might actually forego signing anywhere in the NHL after the season, and could actually head home to Russia to continue his career.  But at that point, it was still a rumor emanating from Russia... We hadn't heard Panarin address it.  Until now. And in an ominous statement about his NHL future, per  Mollie Walker in the New York Post , the Rangers' best player refused to deny the ...

The Best of Caleb Williams in Week 13

Caleb Williams’ box score wasn’t pretty in Philly, but there is a much bigger picture here that we need to consider. This season, Williams is throwing with anticipation, but the accuracy hasn’t been there at times. However, many times when it has been there, the receiving corps has failed him. It’s a shared problem that Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson acknowledged this week when speaking to reporters on Monday . “The primary receiver, when he’s open, we’ve got to make sure we hit him,” ...

Hofstra Pride Shine in Cathedral Classic Sweep

PHILADELPHIA – For a mid-major team (from a one-bid conference) like the Hofstra Pride, November and December are less about wins and losses and more about learning before conference play begins in the new calendar year.

Clippers were shown firsthand just how lopsided their Norman Powell trade really was

When the Miami Heat acquired Norman Powell in a three-team trade this past summer, it was pretty clear instantly that Pat Riley pulled off another fleece acquisition.  And that notion has only intensified as Powell is in the midst of another career year in South Beach. He is the Heat’s leading scorer, and has provided […] The post Clippers were shown firsthand just how lopsided their Norman Powell trade really was appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
