The mid 2000s were a pretty brutal period in Yankees’ history when it comes to one specific facet of the team: pitching. Andy Pettitte left the team in free agency after 2003, having not felt wanted enough by the Yankees, and almost every notable pitching move the team made until his return in 2007 didn’t […]

Today, I’ll reveal the first six names in this category and tomorrow the other five […]
The New York Rangers are having another bad season and the team has the worst points percentage in the Eastern Conference. They are also the only team under .500 in the East and have lost eight of their last 10 games. It makes too much sense for the Rangers to sell and they have the means to change things up and bring in helpful pieces. The big trade candidate is Artemi Panarin, who had reportedly rejected a big contract extension and isn't going to take a team-friendly deal to stick around. T...
By the time the final whistle blew on Monday night’s Third Round FA Cup tie, Liverpool had secured a quite comfortable looking 4-1 victory over League One’s Barnsley. For those watching the match play out, though, it perhaps hadn’t seemed quite so comfortable. After scoring on a pair of quite spectacular—and quite unlikely to lead […]
Freddy Fermin came to the San Diego Padres from the Kansas City Royals at the trade deadline last season. He was the backup to Salvador Perez in Kansas City but immediately took over and upgraded the catching position in San Diego. The Padres gave the Royals starting pitchers Ryan Bergert and Stephen Kolek, which was […]
As voting for the 2nd ranked prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system wrapped this morning, it was clear that Alfredo Duno was going to take home that honor. So, he did – with almost 51% of the vote despite a crowded ballot! Duno defeated RHP Rhett Lowder in what was pretty clearly a two-horse race, […]
In the 19 years between 1993 and 2011, the Red Sox didn’t finish in last place in the division a single time. In the 14 years since 2011, they finished in last 6 times. The lean Chaim Bloom years were intended, according to Fenway Sports Group, to serve as something of a resent to avoid […]
Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon was fired by the Arizona Cardinals earlier this year and now there’s buzz he could return to the NFC East. Obviously not with the Eagles, who have Vic Fangio in place. But instead with one of their division rivals. Gannon is reportedly interviewing for both the Dallas Cowboys […]
Baseball is, among other things, a series of transactions. Being a baseball fan often involves having feelings about those transactions. Sometimes, those feelings are strong. Baseball also surprises us. If not the perfect blend of predictable and absolutely unpredictable, it’s probably pretty close. Put those two things together, and it means that strong feelings can […]
When these Game Notes stop being about the game and start being about the fallout, you know exactly how broken things have become.
With the recent firing of Ravens’ coach John Harbaugh, Orioles manager Craig Albernaz is now the most tenured steward of either of Baltimore’s professional franchises. The same Albernaz who’s been on the job a grand total of 78 days and is yet to coach the Orioles in an actual game. With another 71 days until […]
With the Eagles’ loss on Sunday comes a whole lot of questions about the trajectory of the reigning Super Bowl Champions, and opens the door for another of Philadelphia’s teams to take over as the city’s winners. So who has the best chance at winning the next championship? The Phillies have made the postseason now […]

We skipped doing one of these last year, but they are fun and give a little shine to a number of our writers here. It is a nice pick-me-up in the dead of winter and as one dreary year turns over to another. For this year’s version we will switch up the format a bit, […]

Sources say the Cubs are stockpiling Quad-A type pitchers. Corbin Martin and Tyler Beede are reportedly in the organization now. Cub Tracks is happy to mea culpa after the big-boy signings last week. The position here was never that the Cubs were ‘cheap’ — indeed, it was that they didn’t want to win as badly […]

That ‘87 team, man. The more I study and ask […]
