A total of 21 players haven’t signed with their respective NHL teams who previously drafted them.
Saturday day was a day that ends in “Y,” so that mean the Yankees’ offense didn’t produce much. Just like Friday, the Blue Jays held the fake Bronx Bombers to just one run, scoring only a bit more than that themselves to take the victory. The Yankees themselves put in a frustrating performance, but could […]
The people have spoken. When posed the question of adding veterans to fill out the roster, the majority of voters (59%) felt it wasn’t necessary. This offseason has seen the loss of Mike Conley (Boston), Kyle Anderson (Toronto), and Joe Ingles (Australia) already, thus leaving Rudy Gobert, Donte DiVincenzo, and newly added Trey Lyles as […]
The Mariners have claimed right-hander Troy Watson off waivers from the Tigers. Watson fills the empty spot on Seattle’s 40-man roster. He has been assigned to the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers. Watson, 29, was a late-round draft pick by the Blue Jays in 2018. Toronto sent him to Detroit for cash considerations during the 2024 campaign, […]

The Vancouver Canucks are entertaining the possibility of bringing back an old hand from their blueline, and one who now has a Stanley Cup ring. Per Vancouver insider Rick Dhaliwal , speaking on Canucks Conversation, the team has reached out to unrestricted free agent Ben Hutton. Agents are calling Vancouver on some of the UFAs left. The Canucks are not biting yet... Maybe some of those guys get a PTO, I don't know. But Ben Hutton to me, is interesting. I did hear there have been some c...
Ryan Donato has the ability to be a difference maker. With a changing roster, what production is in store for him in 2026-27?
With the Philadelphia Phillies facing the Toronto Blue Jays in the series finale on Sunday afternoon, the game featured a relieving moment for star slugger Kyle Schwarber. As Schwarber has been in an unfortunate home run drought with the Phillies, that was snapped thanks to Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber. In the bottom of the […] The post Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber finally ends 2nd-longest HR drought of career appeared first on ClutchPoints .
I’m playing tennis tomorrow morning, so putting together the Game Thread after our Saturday night win. I should be able to finish tennis, shower and get up to the bar in time for first pitch. I was a non-drinker in my younger days. Maybe an occasional glass of wine, but beer didn’t interest me until […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs are heading into a season with two very different questions surrounding two very important players. Gavin McKenna is about to begin his NHL career with enormous…
After three of the seven Canadian NHL teams made the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2025-26, here's a ranking of each team's chances to win the Cup in 2026-27.
PHILADELPHIA — Chase Shugart might have gotten out of the 10th unscathed if not for a misplay at first base by Alec Bohm. Instead, he allowed a run, and the Phillies did not beat the Blue Jays when they scored in the bottom of half of the inning. The right-hander then gave up a two-run, […]
As we enter the final season of hockey at the historic Saddledome, we thought we would spend some time celebrating the history of the iconic building. So, throughout August, we’re taking a look back at key games and key moments in Saddledome history. Next up: one of the most important games in the team’s development…
After playing poorly in two straight losses, the Phillies will try to salvage the third game of their Alumni Weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Jesus Luzardo gets the start for the Phillies. The lefty is 10-5 with a 3.36 ERA. The Blue Jays will go with Shane Bieber. The former All-Star is 3-2 […]
Bucks Tyler Herro is eligible for a contract extension, but that apparently isn’t at the top of his priority list as he begins a new chapter with the Bucks. “I’m not really worried about it right now,” Herro told reporters Saturday at his youth basketball camp in Wisconsin, via Steve Megargee of The Associated Press. […] The post NBA Notes: Bucks, Tyler Herro, Raptors, Kawhi Leonard, Knicks appeared first on Hoops Wire .
Sometimes a player’s importance to a hockey team can’t really be measured by goals and assists. Wendel Clark is a good example. If you looked only at statistics, there were…
Max Scherzer was already a future Hall of Famer before this incredible feat.
When will Toronto's sharpshooter crank up the volume? The post 31 days, 31 questions: How many triples per game will Immanuel Quickley attempt? first appeared on Raptors Republic .
For at least one night, Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer rolled back the years en route to climbing the all-time strikeouts list.
As the Toronto Raptors patiently await the fate of Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers, here’s what sports history suggests could be in store for all parties involved. Joe Smith precedent The closest comparison is Joe Smith, who played 16 years in the NBA between 1995 and 2011. Before the 2000 season, it was […]
As TLN continues to count down the top organizational prospects in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ system, it’s worth pausing to flag some players with extra incentive for big years. These players will see their rights expire at the end of 2026-27, and will either re-enter the draft, test the waters of free agency, or worse…
The Phillies played awful baseball on Saturday night. Manager Don Mattingly made questionable decisions, they made poor plays on defense, the offense struggled against a 42-year-old pitcher, and the bullpen broke down. The result was that for the second straight night, they turned a very winnable game into a well-deserved loss to the Blue Jays, […]
Blue Jays 7 Phillies 5 (11 innings) That was a game and a half, as my dad would say. Baseball doesn’t get much better. Max Scherzer was great, thru five innings, and then gave up two solo homers in the sixth, before leaving the game. In all, he allowed 5 hits, 2 earned, 0 walks […]
