Despite Start, Sharks Have Plenty Of Trade Candidates On Defense

The San Jose Sharks are 10-8-3 on the season and have been playing very well over the last few weeks as they are 7-2-1 in their past 10 games. While some are hopeful this can last, there is still a feeling that they just aren't there yet and the majority of the players on this current team won't be there for when they are actually good. David Pagnotta said, "(The Sharks) have five defensemen...who are pending UFAs, all five of those guys are going to generate interest as the season moves along...

Love, Blazers Stand Tall in Crunch Time to Overcome Warriors

The Portland Trail Blazers are big on numbers in the 2025-26 season. Number of shots, rebounding numbers, points off of turnovers…Portland doesn’t feature NBA players as much as athletic accountants. But the most important number on Friday night wasn’t any of those. It was the number of the Golden State Warriors that the Blazers apparently […]

Trail Blazers Get Unexpected Boost in Win Over Warriors

According to an old Hawaiian proverb, what you see is not always what you get–and judging by the way the Portland Trail Blazers blindsided the Golden State Warriors tonight, my ancient ancestors may have been on to something. The Blazers might have looked like easy pickings with starters Jrue Holiday and Shaedon Sharpe on the […]

Talk Blazers-Warriors Here!

The Portland Trail Blazers will look to break out of their rough patch tonight as they face the Golden State Warriors on the road. They’ll once again have to do without starting guards Jrue Holiday and Shaedon Sharpe. But maybe Portland can pull off some NBA Cup magic and still leave San Francisco with a […]

Arbitration updates: Joey Lucchesi non-tendered, JT Brubaker signs deal

Today was the tender deadline for arbitration eligible players. The San Francisco Giants had decisions to make for three players: RHP JT Brubaker, LHP Joey Lucchesi, and catcher Andrew Knizner.

We’ve reached an exciting milestone in the 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List: a top 10! Over the next few months, we’ll rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization, but every top prospects list begins with a top 10 … and a top 10 is what we’ve got. Our top […]

Quick bites: Sharks beat Kings 4-3 in shootout, look to tighten up play

Hockey can be an unforgiving sport. One miscue, a funny bounce, or even just a split-second hesitation, and the puck can end up in the back of your net. The goal is to stay even-keeled enough throughout the game so that you have a chance to win every night, no matter who your opponent is. That’s just what the San Jose Sharks did last night against a defensively difficult and skilled Los Angeles Kings. The Sharks beat the Kings 4-3 in the shootout to claim that extra point. While it wasn’t a pe...

Balance and the health of a second-year pro have propelled the 49ers rushing attack into a top-5 unit in the past month

San Francisco 49ers fans have long wondered why the team doesn’t invest more in its offensive line. Trent Williams has taken most of the allotted funds with his $82 million contract. Outside of Williams, the 49ers are rotating their left guards Spencer Burford and Ben Bartch, two free agents this offseason making under a combined […]

2025 Athletics Season In Review: Sean Newcomb

Sean Newcomb’s first go-around with the A’s was nondescript, similar to his entire career to that point, but after the Red Sox signed him for $1M and decided to move on from him mid-season, the A’s decided to give Newcomb another whirl. And it paid off in spades. How Was He Acquired? On May 27th, […]

Could Robert Saleh leave for a head coaching job this offseason?

The San Francisco 49ers made a big splash this offseason when they hired Robert Saleh to be the team’s defensive coordinator after he was fired from the New York Jets. Saleh had been the Jets head coach since 2021 and had seen ups and downs during his tenure, which was primarily hampered by quarterback play. […]

Golden Nuggets: CMC revenge game loading

Who will be Kyle Shanahan’s QB reclamation project next year? 49ers mailbag (paywall)“The 49ers were sniffing around O’Connell before the 2023 draft. He’s still got one more year on his rookie contract, and the Raiders would have to release him for him to be available. But if they did, he’d make sense for San Francisco. […]

Kings at Sharks game 21: Lines, game thread and how to watch

The San Jose Sharks play host to the Los Angeles Kings tonight and while Sharks fans are certainly enjoying the Macklin Celebrini show and all the fun that it brings, some goals and points from other players might be nice. With that in mind, Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky is reinserting offensively minded defenseman John Klingberg into the lineup as well as Timothy Liljegren, who also brings some offensive pop. Klingberg, who sat out the last game was candid about his struggles. A candid Joh...
