What Michael Lorenzen has revealed about the rebuilding Rockies
Last Thursday, at the same time news was breaking that the Colorado Rockies had arrived at a deal with Willi Castro, Paul DePodesta and Michael Lorenzen addressed media in two separate Zoom availabilities. Last week, Evan Lang provided an overview of Lorenzen’s career and a glimpse of what the signing might mean, and Sam Bradfield […]
Liam Doyle is your #2 St. Louis Cardinals Prospect
So far the voting on the top prospect list has produced zero surprises. JJ Wetherholt, arguably the most MLB ready prospect in the Cardinals system, was the #1 prospect. It’s certainly more of a debate about who is the second most MLB ready player, but Liam Doyle combines readiness with potential unmatched by anyone else […]
MLB News: Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette, Cody Bellinger, free agency, Elly De La Cruz
Happy Monday, friends. It’s been a hectic weekend around the old offseason hot stove. The Mets, who tried their hand at signing Kyle Tucker, needed to rebound quickly after he signed his spendy contract with the Dodgers, so they turned their buying power towards free agent Bo Bichette. We also learned that Elly De La […]
Kansas City Royals news: Honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic mentions the Royals in his latest report. [$] The Kansas City Royals are increasingly unlikely to land either of the two hitters they pursued in trades: the St. Louis Cardinals’ Brendan Donovan and Boston Red Sox’s Jarren Duran. Barring further moves, the Royals expect to rely heavily on offseason acquisitions […]
Study Hall: LSU 78, Mizzou 70
Starting off the SEC basketball season, if I’d have told you Missouri would be 1-2 on the road, I’m sure we’d all have guessed the one win was at Kentucky, right? It is disappointing to start off with a big road win over a program like Kentucky, only to follow up with losses to teams […]
Red Sox on the Six
It’s hard to believe that the Red Sox are about one quarter as many years removed from the 2004 World Series as the total length of the curse that was broken that year. A huge difference, of course, was the addition of three more trophies. With the announcement of Jon Lester being enshrined the the […]
OTM Open Thread 1/19: Go Pats…And Sox!
Hello and happy Monday, friends. Hell of a Pats game yesterday, wasn’t it?! I mean, Drake’s gotta hold on to the ball better going forward. Even against Jarrett Stidham, we can’t afford to put the ball on the turf four or five times against a tough Denver defense on the road. I’m gonna need more […]
Wild Linked To Rangers' Vincent Trocheck As Trade Market Heats Up
The NHL trade deadline is still well over a month away but there appears to be another soft deadline approaching with the Olympic break coming up in just a matter of weeks.

NHL Trade Rumors: 3 Teams Linked to Rangers' Vincent Trocheck
The New York Rangers are ready for their fire sale. Nearly everyone is up for grabs, and it's beginning to sound like center Vincent Trocheck could be the No. 1 trade piece that teams around the league clamour for. " It’s Vincent Trocheck that will likely be the most valuable piece the Rangers could move at this time," writes insider Marco D'Amico. Given that he plays a premium position, and one that is in very short supply at this trade deadline, as far as impact centers g...

Phillies News: Bryce Harper, Von Hayes, J.T. Realmuto

Orioles news: The free agents are signing
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! I hope you had a nice weekend. It was another quiet weekend for the Orioles. MLB has had a busy past week overall, as the last big free agents are starting to find homes. Ranger Suárez going to the Red Sox is bad news for the Orioles, but the other signings […]

Mizzou adds to its 2026 high school class
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about commitments. No, not the transfer kind. The kind we used to get excited about. The transfer portal closed on Friday evening, meaning players are now locked into their teams with a few exceptions. There are still plenty of players available, so we doubt Mizzou is totally […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/19/26
There was very little baseball news yesterday for the most part, so please excuse this NFL digression: Cripes, how is it possible that we got an NFL season where none of the Chiefs, Cowboys, Steelers, or Eagles won a playoff game and we still wound up with a Final Four that is just a damn […]
Monday Morning Fly By: In freefall
*Folks… things are not going great around here. The Flyers got effectively walloped by the Rangers, who more or less threw in the towel on their season last week, and the losing streak has stretched to six games. Do you want to relive that game? No? We have a recap anyway. [ BSH ] *Charlie also has his own takeaways from that one. [ PHLY ] *It was truly a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad game. [ The Athletic ] *Sean Couturier was upfront about it: “we sucked,” says he. [ BS...

Leyton Orient Fans Verdict: Royals Fall Below Par
Supporting Reading Football Club is not a straightforward task. One week you’re the cock of the walk (celebrating a last-minute win against Stockport County thanks to a Lewis Wing screamer), the next you’re a feather duster (wondering what on earth the players have been doing on the training ground for the last two weeks after […]

The decision was finally made to pull Ketel Marte off the trade market. Was this the right move? James: If the right price was not met, then there is no reason to trade him. I have no particular desire for the team to trade Ketel Marte. By the same token, if they were able to […]
