The Los Angeles Rams are favored on the road (for now) for the second week in a row in the playoffs, and that’s fairly remarkable. According to the information I’ll share below, it would be historic if the Rams can win their second away game in the playoffs while being favored by four or more […]
The Miami Dolphins will conduct a virtual interview with Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula on Friday. The move would make him the sixth candidate to interview with the team, though only former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has had an in-person interview. Under NFL rules, coaches under contract with a team may […]
MLB Rumors: Kyle Tucker and the Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to terms on a four year, $240 million deal, per multiple reports. The deal reportedly includes opt outs after years 2 and 3, with $30 million deferred. The deferrals lower the overall annual average value to $57 million, which is still a record AAV. […]

Meet the Mets Having been heavily involved in Kyle Tucker’s free agency this week, the Mets came up short, as the outfielder has agreed to a four-year deal with the Dodgers. The Mets’ offer to Tucker was a four-year, $220 million contract with no deferrals, opt-outs, and a significant signing bonus. Ken Rosenthal wrote about […]
Well, we got some major clarity late last night, and it’s not the kind that’s gonna make most fans happy, as Kyle Tucker is a Dodger. Los Angeles, coming off back-to-back championships, has added the most sought-after player on the market once again. The rich get richer, in every sense; the best team in baseball […]

LOS ANGELES – It’s no secret that the Lakers are a bad defensive team. Los Angeles has a defensive rating of 117.1, sixth-worst in the NBA, and with all three of their stars being offensive juggernauts but with their defensive struggles, it’s difficult for the Lakers to ever lock down any team. Thursday’s contest against […]

The Lakers have suffered this specific type of loss a half-dozen times at this point in the season. A team with athletic wings and some outside shooting torches them defensively and the team can’t keep up on the other end, resulting in a blowout loss. The really frustrating part is that it just happened on […]
Another year, another sticker shock for the Dodgers, who have leaned into their role as the biggest spenders in the sport, with gusto. Kyle Tucker is their newest prize, picking Los Angeles over the New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays, his two other reported closest pursuers. Tucker signed for a reported $240 million over […]
For the second time this week, the Lakers put up an embarrassing performance as they were run off the floor by the Hornets on Thursday, 135-117. The Lakers led by as many as 13 points in the first quarter and held a nine-point advantage heading into the second period. However, they lost each of the […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner ($): Another day, another Cody Bellinger article. Despite recent reports that there were considerable gaps between Belli and the Yankees in terms of contract length and average annual value, Kirschner says “not so fast, my friend,” to quote the great Lee Corso. There are reasons, admittedly, the Yankees could pivot […]

In need of a primary second basemen and with several left handed hitting outfielders on the roster, the Rays have traded from a position of depth by sending OF Josh Lowe to the Los Angeles Angels in a three team deal, receiving back 2B Gavin Lux from the Cincinnati Reds and prospect RHP Chris Clark […]
It was a foregone conclusion that the Cubs were not going to bring back outfielder Kyle Tucker. For whatever reason, they showed little interest in bringing him back. The Cubs instead pivoted to a major signing of third baseman Alex Bregman, which you know all about by now. But it is a minor surprise that […]

Kyle Tucker has signed a four-year, $240 million contract with the Dodgers. That’s $60 million a year, which seems almost insane to me. The rumour was the the Jays offered a long term contract, but I’m sure not at $60 million per year. That would be a hard number to turn down. Such is life […]
The Dodgers have made themselves quite comfortable in the deep end of the free agent pool. First came the signing of closer Edwin Díaz to a record-setting contract, and now comes outfielder Kyle Tucker, the top free agent on the market, per multiple reports. Jeff Passan was first to report the pact, which is worth […]
Buried in the Los Angeles Rams’ playoff win over the Carolina Panthers is one of the more positive developments for Sean McVay’s team: they possibly solved their recent tackling issue. At risk of sounding like a broken record, I have spent the last month documenting the Rams’ challenges in bringing ball carriers down: Dec 30: […]
Matthew Stafford went from not winning a single playoff game in more than a decade with the Detroit Lions to being known for playing his best ball when the postseason rolls around for the Los Angeles Rams. In Stafford’s first season in LA, he was amidst a slump over the second half of the year. […]
Temperature estimates for Sunday’s divisional playoff game between the Rams and Bears in Chicago are sitting around 20 degrees, leading to a snowball effect of opinions that the home team has an advantage. So why does history not support that theory whatsoever? Over the last 20 years, divisional round playoff games at 20 degrees or […]

The other NFC Divisional matchup is on Saturday, with the San Francisco 49ers on the road against the Seattle Seahawks. On our latest edition of Bear Bones, Dr. Mason West is joined by Danny Meehan […]
Last year the Dodgers international signing period was dominated by the signing for Roki Sasaki, the pitching sensation from Japan who signed for $6.5 million and started his career in the major leagues. Their 2026 international signing period is more traditional in the sense that they have spread things around to several prospects. The team […]
This week has been a busy one for the Lakers. They played three games in five days, including a back-to-back, and had to manage injuries, travel and old age, yet still came out with a 2-1 record. Finding ways to win despite the challenges in front of them has been the modus operandi for the […]
