The surgery took place today and is expected to miss four to five months. Kim was signed this off-season on a one-year, $20M contract after the Braves claimed […]
The Flyers have been struck again by the injury bug. With Rodrigo Abols taking an injury in yesterday afternoon’s game against the Rangers and the prognosis immediately not looking so good , the time came again for the Flyers to dip into the well of options from the AHL squad to bring into the mix to help fill that role centering the fourth line. For this, veteran centerman Lane Pederson was given the nod. Pederson has spent the better part of this season centering the Phantoms’ top line,...
When most people think of sports cards, they think of million-dollar baseball contracts… or cards locked away in plastic cases. But what if I told you this softball card matters more than you think?Not because of how much it’s worth — but because of who it helps. The cards aren’t just a picture on cardboard.This […]
Players would actually make more money under a cap system, despite ownership cries about rising costs. Major League Baseball is the only one of the four major North American sports leagues without a salary cap. It is very much a league of haves and have nots. For decades, a significant segment of MLB ownership has […]
The Chicago Bears playing in the nightcap of the divisional round’s Sunday slate of games means we get to touch on some NFL news before we bundle up and Bear Down. Falcons hire Kevin Stefanski as new head coach One day after the New York Giants made headlines in the NFL news cycle for hiring John Harbaugh, the Atlanta Falcons made the second coaching hire of the offseason by bringing in Kevin Stefanski. The two-time NFL Coach of the Year replaces Raheem Morris, who was let go earlier...
The weekend started with everyone around the NFL wondering when John Harbaugh would officially take the New York Giants job, a lot of questions in the head coaching carousel, and the Conference Championship participants up in the air. As early Sunday afternoon rolled around, Harbaugh had signed, Kevin Stefanski was headed to the Atlanta Falcons […]
It is extremely important to note that absolutely none of the below is real. This is an entirely fake work of satire by an individual who could and should probably put his brainpower to better use. Thanks for reading! A Message from Danny Briere and Keith Jones to Our Fans: We wanted to take a moment to connect with our loyal and passionate fanbase of lunatics. We know and feel your disappointment with how the franchise has gone to this point. We are just as frustrated and want nothi...
Cade Cavalli and the Washington Nationals have found a way to settle their arbitration case. The two sides reached an agreement on a deal that will pay him $870,000 for 2026. Interestingly, they agreed to a club option that would pay Cavalli $4 million. It is good to see the two sides reach a deal […]
It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! It may be snowing in New York City this weekend, but in the sports world, the hot stove has been boiling. From the New York Giants’ hiring of John Harbaugh as their next head coach to the Dodgers’ […]
Legendary announcer Bob Uecker, the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers for over 50 years, passed away a year ago on Friday. Uecker was widely regarded as one of the greatest sports announcers ever. He also had a knack for sharing — and, through his actions, creating — funny, often self-deprecating stories. In the spirit of […]
The news hit hard at the end of the week: New York Rangers GM Chris Drury announced that he will not be offering their perennial leading scorer Artemi Panarin a new contract , and the team will work with the 34-year-old's agent to find him a new home. Since then, all the talk has been about which teams might be the most likely destinations for Panarin . But now The Bread Man himself, a pending unrestricted free agent, has opened up on the news that his Rangers days are numbered. It’s har...

It has become an institution revered for delectable kitchen […]
The Jays spend some money on international signings:
In the fallout of the Dodgers signing Kyle Tucker to a huge free agency deal, there has been much discussion around the spending disparity in this sport. This is a complicated issue that is sure to take center stage when CBA negotiations take place next offseason in what seems assured to be another work stoppage. […]
Randy Vasquez has seen a steady increase of work since he started his career with the New York Yankees in 2023. He appeared in 11 games as a rookie and made five starts for the Yankees and finished the season with a record of 2-2. Vasquez closed the season with a 2.87 ERA and allowed […]
For today’s birthday boy, we have ourselves an interesting, injury-riddled, and often controversial character to dive into. Michael Pineda, once acquired by the Yankees in a fairly high-profile deal, looked to be a major part of the New York rotation through the early-mid 2010s. It didn’t quite work out that way, as injuries and trouble […]
Welp, this is attempt number three at writing this post. The first version was written on Thursday before the Dodgers had agreed to terms with Kyle Tucker. And the second version was written on Friday morning before Bo Bichette agree to terms with the Mets. Hopefully, I can get this version published before somebody signs […]
Last weekend, the Cubs and Bears came together to provide Chicago with one of the most memorable and consequential sports nights for this city in a long time. One week and one day later, and it’s all on the Bears. I am nervous. I am excited. And I am ready to Bear Down. You’ve got a must-read of the day , today, from Patrick Mooney, who got the inside scoop on how the deal with Alex Bregman came together last weekend during the Bears game. From the sound of it, Bregman was VERY clo...
Good morning, folks… We got not much out there today. Remember Ryan Pressly? Former Astros reliever? He announced his retirement. In non-baseball news, Bo Nix broke his ankle, so the Denver Broncos will be playing in the AFC Championship Game with Texas native Jarrett Stidham as their quarterback. Hmmm, what else… If you listen to […]
Panarin trade buzz ramped up, culture questions got louder, and the word “rebuild” stopped feeling hypothetical. It's all in this week's Media Bytes.
The Arizona Cardinals are knee deep in trying to find their next head coach. There is a list that grows every week. The big debate is whether the franchise should hire another defensive coach, or if the offense needs the most attention and go that route. RELATED: SALEH GETS LATE-NIGHT INTERVIEW The DC for the […]
When the Detroit Tigers traded left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin to the Texas Rangers at the trade deadline in 2024, it was never likely to be an impactful deal. The Tigers got sidearmer Chase Lee in the deal, but it was the second piece, right-handed starter Joseph Montalvo, who was expected to be the modest centerpiece. […]
