Sharks Linked To Flyers' Young Defenseman

The San Jose Sharks are looking to bring in some young defenseman who will fit with what they're trying to build for the future. The team wants to build the defense similar to what the forward group looks like and have more options that they can feel confident in. San Jose has many UFAs after this season, and some, if not all of them, are going to be dealt this season as rentals. This includes John Klingberg, Mario Ferraro, Timothy Liljegren, Nick Leddy, and Vincent Desharnais. Sticking around...

Another week, another primetime game against a team that has dominated the NFL in recent years, but finds itself suddenly on shakier ground.

NHL Trade Rumors: Sharks Interested In Adding Young Talent To Blueline

According to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , the San Jose Sharks are looking to add young blueline talent to pair with Shakir Mukhamadullin and rookie Sam Dickinson.  With Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, William Eklund and Michael Misa headlining the forward group and Yaroslav Askarov in net, management’s next phase is reinforcing the back end for the long term. That mandate tracks with recent behavior dating to last season, as the front office has been canvassing for young defenseme...

Today in White Sox History: October 15

1917 The White Sox won their second World Series title, beating the New York Giants four games to two. The score in the series clincher was also 4-2.

Fixing the 2026 Arizona Diamondbacks: Third-base

The hot corner was a solid position for the D-backs this season. All told, it came in at 2.0 bWAR above average, with the Giants and Matt Chapman the only NL team to be more productive there. This was mostly due to Eugenio Suarez continuing his second-half surge from last season. On July 21st, he […]

Houston Texans: Top 5 Trade Deadline Targets

If you were to take a quick gander at Houston’s upcoming slate of games, you’ll quickly realize that they’re currently at the base of a terrifying mountain of opponents.

2025 stats: 4.61 ERA, 4.25 FIP, 1.112 WHIP, 18 K%, 7 BB%, 31 G (1 GS), 56.2 IP In a season of low-leverage appearances, of lumbering through middle-innings in blow-outs, Tristan Beck finally had a chance to pitch with some purpose on September 16th in Arizona.  The Giants sat at .500. They teetered on the […]

How did Red Sox pitching prospect Jose Bello (part of return for Rafael Devers) fare after trade?

After writing about James Tibbs III over the weekend, it feels like an appropriate time to examine how the other prospect the Red Sox acquired from the Giants in the Rafael Devers trade — Jose Bello — fared in the wake of the blockbuster deal being made in June. Unlike Tibbs, Bello was not subsequently … Continue reading "How did Red Sox pitching prospect Jose Bello (part of return for Rafael Devers) fare after trade?"

Oh about Gore

Yeah I was only doing bats. Gore is the only arm that I think deserves talking about in terms of a long-term signing. I like Lord and Ferrer but relief pitching is notoriously fickle, neither of these guys is lights out (or likely to be that) so they just feel very replaceable and not something you gamble money on keeping past age 30.  As arms go Parker and Irvin are nothing to hold on to. I mean I guess if they want to be REAL reasonable and sign for cheap so they don't have to move...&n...
