Flyers prospect Aleksei Kolosov regaining his form with Phantoms

The last month and change has been something of a volatile stretch for Phantoms goaltender Aleksei Kolosov. His two-game showing on recall to the Flyers went poorly, ending with him giving up three goals on each of the first three shots he faced against the Rangers in mid-January, and being relegated to the backup chair for the remainder of his time up with the big club. He was sent back down for the Phantoms’ last game of the month, and though there would ultimately be another another re...

Yankees Mailbag: Lombard Jr.’s timeline and farm expectations

Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. Don H. asks: I’m just so tired of the Yankees letting players languish in the minors, until their play by or […]

Flyers claim center Luke Glendening off of waivers from Devils

The Philadelphia Flyers are selling at the trade deadline, so far moving forwards Nic Deslauriers and Bobby Brink for, well, not forwards. To fill some spots they created in the lineup, the Flyers turned to the waiver wire. Announced by multiple reporters all over online but not the actual team at the time of writing, the Flyers have claimed veteran depth center Luke Glendening off of waivers from the New Jersey Devils. PHI claims Glendening VAN claims Douglas FLA claims Reinhardt &m...

Breaking Trade: Blues' Brayden Schenn Dealt to Islanders

The New York Islanders have finally gotten into the action at this trade deadline, making a big splash, as have the St. Louis Blues, as Brayden Schenn is headed to the Island. The official deal for Brayden Schenn to NYI. pic.twitter.com/03tHXXjLl2 — PuckEmpire (@puckempire) March 6, 2026 It’s a 2026 first-rounder, a third-rounder, and Jonathan Drouin and Swedish prospect Marcus Gidlof going back to St. Louis.  The 34-year-old Schenn has been seemingly on the block for a couple of years no...

Jets offseason quarterback rumor mill is heating up

The Jets need a new quarterback. With free agency set to begin in the NFL next week, it is no surprise that rumors are flying. Connor Hughes of SNY suggests journeyman veteran quarterback Carson Wentz could be a name to watch due to his ties with offensive coordinator Frank Reich. The #Jets might not target […]

REPORT: Knicks’ Deuce McBride on track for postseason comeback

While the Knicks have enjoyed a nice little 15-5 stretch that has seen their defensive rating jump into the top 10, and come away with victories against some good teams like the Spurs, Raptors, Rockets, Celtics, Lakers, and Nuggets, everyone knows that much of the Knicks’ postseason success rides on the availability of their backup […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Francisco Cervelli

The backup catcher is a fickle creature. Outside of an occasional opportunity to warm up pitchers in between innings, or perhaps to enter in the late innings after their manager mercifully pinch-ran for the starting backstop, they might only be seen once a week when they draw a start. Like a backup quarterback in the […]

Which Kodai Senga will the Mets get in 2026?

When the Mets signed Kodai Senga to a five-year, $75 million contract, it signaled the team’s first swing move in the international market in years and generated a lot of excitement, even resulting in an A+ grade from Amazin’ Avenue’s Lukas Vlahos. It’s hard to argue with the hype: His ghost fork was already regarded […]

Game Preview: Knicks at Nuggets, March 6, 2026

Lace up your hiking boots! Tonight the Knicks (40*-23) scale the mountains of Denver to face the Nuggets (39-24) at Ball Arena. New York plans to leave with a season sweep in this cross-conference matchup. Our heroes have won six of their last ten games on the schedule, while Denver have split their last ten. […]

National League East 2026 Preview

Despite a dramatic midseason battle for first, the NL East was fairly clear cut for most of last season.  At the end of May, the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets were tied in a dead-heat, and the Miami Marlins, Atlanta Braves, and Washington Nationals had all started a downward trend out of contention. By […]

Why the debate over Jayson Tatum’s role is meaningless

Jayson Tatum last played for the Boston Celtics 298 days ago, when his 42-point playoff masterpiece against the New York Knicks preceded what would become a nine-plus-month rehabilitation from a torn right Achilles tendon. Since then, he has worked to recover from surgery, regain strength, and progress through multiple 5-on-5 workouts in preparation for his […]

Islanders News: Trade Deadline Day thread

On the NHL’s trade deadline day, the New York Islanders are in playoff position but far from contender position. They have a Vezina candidate (favorite?) goalie and a Calder favorite who have driven an exciting season above expectations. Their power play is abysmal, and their overall team defense often leaves us scratching our head. They […]

The WBC uniforms are bad, but Bobby Witt Jr.’s bat is amazing

Sports uniforms are a fascinating intersection of branding, history, utility, and fashion. The best ones—like the New York Yankees pinstripes, or the Green Bay Packers green and gold threads—are iconic and have inspired many other uniforms. The worst ones are either forgettable or crimes against aesthetic value. With the World Baseball Classic coming up, you […]

Luis Perales’ Fastball Is In A Tier Of Its Own

Luis Perales made his Nationals Spring Training debut in the 4th inning versus the New York Mets yesterday, recording a scoreless inning with one walk allowed. He allowed 3 hard hit balls, but none found grass, with 2 flyouts and a lineout to center allowed. During his 24-pitch outing, Perales threw 33% fastballs and 67% […]

Yankees 2026 Season Preview: Anthony Volpe

On May 3, 2025, Anthony Volpe’s luck took a turn for the worse. That day, he hurt his left shoulder while diving for a ball in the performance of his defensive duties. He felt a pop that turned out to be a torn labrum, re-aggravating the injury in September and managing the discomfort while playing. […]
