Morning A’s fans! Spring Training is right around the corner with just 13 days until pitchers and catcher report. The rest of the squad reports a few days later and the first games of the season begin shortly after that. The long winter is coming to a close (except for the people on the East […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The newest member of the San Francisco Giants, Harrison Bader, joined The Max Mannis Podcast earlier this week to discuss his decision to join the Giants’ organization. During the episode, Bader discusses his approach to facing his new team’s biggest rivals and reigning World Series champions (boo), the Los Angeles Dodgers. […]
Artemi Panarin's days as a New York Ranger are coming to an end, and there's a very good possibility his next stop with be on the west coast. Rangers GM Chris Drury has been working the phones for weeks, trying to facilitate a move that Panarin would approve, and now it sounds like both sides are working together after Panarin was scratched in the Rangers game Wednesday. A game the Rangers lost 5-2 against the New York Islanders. Panarin has reportedly been told if he doesn't approve a trade o...
Possible twist emerges in the 49ers’ search for their next defensive coordinator (paywall)“Schwartz, 59, was “visibly upset … and told other coaches he’s not coming back,” NFL Network reported, adding that the 49ers would be among the teams that would likely have interest if Schwartz can get out of the final year of his Browns’ […]

The San Francisco 49ers have shied away from taking an offensive lineman in the first round in recent years, electing to move forward without a future replacement for star left tackle Trent Williams. Williams has continued to play at a high level, so there hasn’t been the need to replace him yet, but he will […]
So I went into hip replacement surgery last Friday expecting a fairly quick and smooth recovery and spent the weekend wondering why the pain and lack of mobility/range of motion was approximately 10x worse than I had anticipated. Turns out I’m my own worst enemy — which is saying something since those who have been […]
In a season of disappointments for Vancouver Canucks fans, add last night’s game to the list. Things started out so promising, with the home team getting on the board 1:15 into the game. It looked like the team might give the home fans something to cheer about in a lost season. (Sorry Vancouver, Sharks fans can relate.) Instead, the San Jose Sharks, a few years ahead in the rebuild and fueled by those young draft picks acquired in said rebuild evened the score 36 seconds later. Macklin Celebri...

The San Francisco 49ers have one of the most valuable running backs in the NFL in Christian McCaffrey, who is coming off a season where he was a finalist for three prestigious awards. McCaffrey’s rushing numbers weren’t great this past season. Despite not missing a game, he didn’t have a rush longer than 20 yards […]
First, let’s get the important question out of the way. Is the Eagles’ open offensive coordinator job a good NFL opportunity, or a bad one? The answer is … yes. It’s understandable that, two weeks after their playoff loss to the 49ers and the subsequent firing of former OC Kevin Patullo, the Eagles appear to […]
2026 will be the 10th year that San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch will have been attached at the hip. In the modern era of football, where coaches and general managers are constantly changing, that seems like a rarity. Especially when the 49ers haven’t won a Super Bowl in […]

The 49ers invested heavily in the defensive line in the 2025 NFL Draft but, despite the positive steps taken by the likes of Alfred Collins, CJ West and, before his season-ending injury, first-round pick Mykel Williams, there’s a strong chance San Francisco will use more capital on that area of the team this offseason. San […]

The San Francisco Giants agreed to a deal with outfielder Harrison Bader on Monday, and that means a few things. Most of those things are good — for instance, it means that the Giants will now have a watchable outfield defense, and also that they’ll probably be better this year than they would have otherwise […]
With time running out on many of 49ers’ top players, ’25 rookie class will need to step up (paywall)“Of course, it’s nonsense to dismiss a draft class after one season. And that’s particularly true of a group in which many were thrust into significant roles due to last offseason’s roster reset and took their lumps […]
The San Jose Sharks take a trip to Canada today and the first stop on the team’s road trip before the Olympic break is Vancouver and a date with the Canucks. One of the big stories out of Vancouver this morning is the news that goaltender Thatcher Demko will not return to play for the Canucks this season. Demko will have season-ending hip surgery . There’s no real reason to put it off, considering where Vancouver is in the standings. Securely notched at 32nd in the league, shelving a goal...
When it comes to impending free agents for the San Francisco 49ers this offseason, none are bigger than wide receiver Jauan Jennings, who will hit unrestricted free agency after six years with the team. Jennings, who signed a two-year, $11.9 million deal worth up to $15.4 million in 2024, caught 55 passes for 643 yards […]
Fun video today from Eric Sim, a former Giants minor leaguer who has since made a name for himself in the baseball-connected content world. For example, Sim put together a video on what it’s like to train with new Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman for a day. Surprise! Bregman works really hard on his training every day! Primarily, it’s just entertaining to watch, but it does also give you a little behind-the-scenes look at what someone like Alex Bregman is doing to stay in top baseball...
1. I’ll admit, I’ve repeatedly cast side-eye at the Seattle Seahawks’ chances of winning it all because I simply couldn’t get behind trusting Sam Darnold, despite his come-up from his early days with the New York Jets. His mid-season spluttering seemed to justify that skepticism, and thrashing a beat-up 49ers defense in the Divisional Round […]
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Benjamin Solak ranked the nine defensive coordinator jobs that are open, and concluded that the San Francisco 49ers are second: Why it’s No. 2: The shoes in San Francisco are big ones to fill, as outgoing defensive coordinator Robert Saleh did tremendous work coaching around the lack of talent during the 49ers’ […]
It was a trying season for the San Francisco 49ers quarterback position. After inking Brock Purdy to a new contract and signing a new backup quarterback, the last thing head coach Kyle Shanahan expected was to see Mac Jones in the starting lineup two games into the season. As we begin our positional exit interviews, […]
There’s no doubt veteran Harrison Bader improves the Giants outfield defensively. He’s got the flair, the hair, and the hardware, not to mention eight years of consistently excellent defensive metrics, to back up his reputation as one of the best center fielders in the game. Considering the 2025 Giants outfield defense ranked dead last in […]
