How to watch the Mariners in 2026

With expectations higher around this Mariners team than any other this decade, it makes sense that fans want to know how to watch their hometown nine this season.

Opening day (sort of) gamethread

The 2026 MLB season kicks off tonight at 7:05pm tonight on ESPN Fox Sports Netflix, because of course we are starting with some streaming. It is the first day of the new season, but there are only two teams playing, which never quite feels like an actual opening day. Either way I’m excited that we […]

Will the 2026 Red Sox exceed expectations?

The Boston Red Sox enter 2026 with the clear expectation of returning to the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time in eight years.

Well-Connected ex-NYR Says Connor McDavid Will Ditch Oilers for Rangers

You can tell from his recent comments. Connor McDavid is getting antsy. And Edmonton Oilers fans are getting anxious. With only a two-year extension signed, which begins next season, McDavid could force his way out of Edmonton if things aren't going to his satisfaction, as soon as the summer of 2027.  At that point, he'd have one year left on his contract in Edmonton, and either he or the Oilers could initiate the "get something in return before he becomes a UFA" discussions.  Given ...

Dodgers sign Jake Cousins, put Bobby Miller on 60-day injured list

The Dodgers on Tuesday signed relief pitcher Jake Cousins to a major league contract. He was non-tendered by the New York Yankees in November.
