Record: 10-12. Change on 2025: -1.5. 5-inning Record: 5-15-2. The Diamondbacks came back from five runs down, powered largely by Jacob Amaya’s grand-slam (below). An eighth inning home-run by Angel Ortiz then gave Arizona the lead, as they won consecutive games for the first time since March 4. It wasn’t a great day for the […]
The Houston Texans aren’t done filling in their 2026 roster quite yet: Ian Rapoport has reported that the Texans are signing LG Evan Brown to a 1-year deal worth up to $3.5 million. Brown had just been released by the Arizona Cardinals on March 12th. Brown, 29, was an undrafted center out of SMU that […]
Another double-dip day, and in the World Baseball Classic, Italy and Puerto Rico is already under way. Remarkably, the Italians put up a four-spot in the bottom of the first, so their Cinderella story continues. I’m trying to think of an equivalent team reaching the World Cup semi-final. Morocco were unexpected semi-finalists last time. Maybe […]

Record: 9-12. Change on 2025: -1.5. 5-inning Record: 5-14-2.

Merrill Kelly made his Spring Training debut and looked all right. He threw 36 pitches with a slight emphasis on his […]
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Indianapolis Colts have signed Chicago Bears free agent safety and key special teamer Jonathan Owens to bolster their depleted positional depth: Originally signed as an undrafted free agent of the Arizona Cardinals in 2018, the 5,‘11”, 204 pound safety has played for the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, […]
Back from their disappointing Houston/New Orleans road trip and in Toronto to face the Phoenix Suns on Friday, the Raptors had a lot of people to answer to. Their last game was a horrible loss against the Pelicans, made even worse by a late-game scuffle that drew a ton of online criticism. The Raptors were […]
The WBC Quarterfinals start tonight, including Team USA facing off against Team Canada. But if you can tear your eyes away from that, you can see the debut of Eric Hosmer on the Royals TV broadcast in Surprise, Arizona. It should be a good time. Here’s the lineup: Speaking of team USA in the WBC, […]
Firstly, this is going up early as it will also be a thread for the WBC quarter-finals, which get under way very shortly. We start with the appetizer of Korea taking on the Dominican Republic, and at 5 pm Arizona, we get the main course: USA vs. Canada. That’s of particular interest to us, because […]
There’s now less than two weeks to go until Opening Day, and things are definitely beginning to come into focus. We’ve lost our Opening Day starter, with Merrill Kelly’s nervous back ruling him out for that role. However, he started today’s game. Let’s start off with that section of the roster in more detail, shall […]
The Chargers have made a move to reinforce the interior of their defense by signing veteran defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson to a one-year, $7.5 million deal with $6 million guaranteed. Tomlinson was cut by the Cardinals which means his signing does not affect the compensatory pick formula for the Bolts. This is the fourth outside […]
With free agency into day three, which means a lull as teams are now being a little more judicious with their remaining cap space, we have an idea of what the Arizona Cardinals are doing. They have hit all their needs in free agency, maybe not at high level players, but with solid veterans who […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of just three NFL teams, joining Seattle and Denver, to not add an outside player during the legal negotiating window. Now that the new league year has begun and free agency has officially started, the Jags shouldn’t be inactive for much longer. Bookmark this page for roster updates throughout the […]

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former Arizona Cardinals running back and TCU standout Emari Demercado to a one-year deal. Demercado, who will likely work behind newly-signed running back Kenneth Walker III, spent three seasons with the Cardinals.

When an NFL franchise loses 26 games in the past two seasons, there are obvious problems and issues. No wonder the head coach was fired. Plenty of holes to fill and new bodies to bring in and compete. That is the advantage of the free agency period. Next month, the NFL draft will take care […]
Something expected happened. Just as Kyler Murray was finally released by the Arizona Cardinals, the Minnesota Vikings signed him to a one-year deal during the free agency period. He signed for the $1.3 million veteran minimum. Murray will compete for the starting job against J.J. McCarthy who has disappointed since he was selected 10th overall […]
Introduction It’s easy to dismiss Spring Training statistics. There are legitimate excuses about pitchers experimenting with different grips, situations, or just not concentrating as hard as they might during the regular season. If you layer those reasons on top of the typically ridiculously small sample sizes, I can understand why fans might wave away both […]
A dangerous quarterback has just let the NFC West. Kyler Murray was released by the Arizona Cardinals and signed with the Minnesota Vikings. Many NFL fans have their complaints with Murray. His career started off with a bang before he and Kliff Kingsbury ran out of steam. Kingsbury was fired two years ago. Since Murray […]
Record 8-12. Change on 2025: -1.5. 5-inning record: 4-14-2. Another day, another spring-worst margin of defeat. After losing by ten runs yesterday, the D-backs went one better (or worse?) this afternoon at Salt River Fields. It was an ugly afternoon for the Arizona pitchers, who handed out a dozen free passes to Colorado hitters, thanks […]
