Good morning! The holidays are over, it was 14 degrees in Boston this morning, and everyone is back to work. Thus begins the worst, most depressing stretch of the entire year. Can we at least get some interesting Red Sox news to hold us over? No, we can’t. But we can get unsourced rumors about […]
The holidays are over and it's time to get serious. But what does that mean? For the Nats we still don't know. After the trade of Jose Ferrer for Harry Ford the Nats made two moves. 1) Traded Jake Bennett for Luis Perales. This was a "good prospect for good prospect" trade where the Red Sox looking for a certain type of pitcher, were willing to give up a good prospect of their own. Perales is arguably "more certain" than Bennett - younger, closer to the majors and both ...
The NFL regular season has come to a wrap. With a lot of playoff positions secured, many of the league’s stars sat out Week 18, but lucky for us, plenty of Tigers were still in action. We’ll break it all down here. Please note that a final NFLSU Season Recap will be published following the […]
Team news [Heavy] Latest Alex Bregman Rumor Increases Likelihood Diamondbacks Keep Ketel Marte – Alex Bregman could be the next infielder to come off the market. ESPN’s Buster Olney reported on First Up with Korolnek and Colaiacovo (audio courtesy of YouTuber and podcaster Robbie Hyde) that the Boston Red Sox have made an “aggressive offer” […]
What has seemed like a formality for a while is now official. Don Mattingly will be the bench coach for the Phillies in 2026. It’s a good hire for the team. Mattingly has had success as a bench coach with Toronto, as well as success as a major league manager for the Marlins and Dodgers. […]
The theory was that once Tatsuya Imai and Kazuma Okamoto signed their contracts the gates holding back the rest of the free agent market would swing open and contracts would be signed left and right. That has not been the case, at least not yet. The calendar turned from 2025 to 2026 and most employees […]
Every year MLB teams sign youngsters out of Latin America looking for the next Juan Soto or Ronald Acuna. Hitting on these international prospects is an important part of building a strong farm system. The signing deadline for these prospects is on January 15th. Here is what we know about the Nats international free agent […]
Like the whole fraternity house full of signal callers who’ve matriculated through the revolving door of Jeff Brohm’s QB Room at the Schnell Complex then left, two more have bid the Cardinals their fond(?) adieu. Deuce Adams and Brady Allen have gone veni vidi splitski. Sayonara, ye former future Johnny U wannabes. As for who’s […]
In a perfect world, I think the top five should have one team from each division. That’s not about spreading the hype or artificial parity. It’s just the reality of the current playoff format, where each division is virtually assured of sending one team to the final four. (The exception would be a crossover wildcard “winning” a division it wasn’t even in, which would be very funny but has sadly never happened. Yet.) If our top five is about the long-term view, projecting ahead to an eventual C...
As the Rangers season goes from bad to worse, firing Chris Drury may feel like an easy decision, it may even be deserved, but does it do anything to fix the Rangers?
The Los Angeles Rams got their act together in the second half in a 37-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals in the regular season finale. L.A. is locked into the NFC’s No. 5 seed with a rematch against the Carolina Panthers set for next weekend. Before we think ahead to the playoffs, here is the […]
This coming season, if the current roster holds true, the lineup is going to look very similar to the one that ended the season in Los Angeles. Nick Castellanos has been swapped out for Adolis Garcia, but other than that, it looks remarkably similar. There is still a lot of time left to make another […]
I was going to have a “What will Bryce Elder do in 2026?” post for today, but life got in the way, so suffice to say, the first few days of 2026 have not been all too different from 2025 for me. But, things can change, and there’s a lot of year to go. So, […]
Good morning. It’s real quiet out there. Anyway, MLB dot com’s Theo DeRosa advocates for former Texas Rangers ace Cole Hamels to reach the Hall of Fame. That’s all. Have a good day!
Well, friends, we did it! We survived the holiday season and we have entered a brand new year. We can cross our fingers that the Tigers have made a resolution to build a team that can get back to the postseason, but we shouldn’t hold our breath until we see some actual movement from the […]
The 2026 season is going to be a crucial one for the Baltimore Orioles. This team is supposed to be in the midst of their competitive “window.” Their homegrown core of position players are multiple years into their major league careers, and things should be clicking by now. But it is well-documented that the 2025 […]
As of this writing the Boston Red Sox, winners of four World Series championships since 2004 have not signed a single free agent for the 2026 season. They have, of course, made several trades but, but big question marks remain as we enter January, and Spring Training officially begins next month. So what better thing […]
Some say Pope Leo XIV blessed the White Sox with a miracle when Japanese phenom Munetaka Murakami signed with Chicago, but this underperforming team needs more than a miracle to crawl back to a winning record. Murakami’s standout power and accolades bring hope to a team that struggled to put the ball over the fence […]
Former Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia turns 40today. Arencibia was a first-round draft pick by the Jays in the 2004 draft, number 21 overall. He quickly became our top prospect and hit #43 on Baseball America’s top 100 prospects list before the 2009 season. Then, he came up to the Jays and played his first […]
Meet the Mets Admittedly the Mets haven’t done a ton in terms of additions this offseason, but what they have added in the bullpen could potentially be a massive victory. As Carlos Beltran is likely only a few weeks away from being elected to the Hall of Fame as a Met, it’s a good time […]
Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic released his latest updates across the league for many teams still looking to fill needs this offseason. For the Braves, it was simply reemphasizing what was already known. The Braves are looking to add to their starting rotation and will likely do it via free agency instead of a trade. […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Chip Lindsey is Missouri’s newest offensive coordinator and I am extremely skeptical of this hire. To put it nicely. In order to show you why I think this/talk myself into this hire, I’m going to review his resume and offer a break out of how he’s done at each job he’s had previously. I am […]
