Cryptid Cup? Sure, we’ll keep that thing – whatever it is.

The overarching message is they seem to be staying the course right now, no […]

We’ve come a long way from LSU having one total running back and quarterback. LSU’s not slowing down with restocking its roster via the transfer portal, and between Monday and Tuesday the Tigers officially have a healthy amount of depth at both the quarterback and running back positions. Monday news came out that former Wisconsin […]
Last year, White Sox position player rookies surpassed expectations beyond belief. Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero quickly grew into one of most dynamic catching platoons in the league and Colson Montgomery had an explosive debut month. Now, it’s Miguel Vargas’ turn. While it wasn’t quite the breakout season Sox fans would’ve wanted, Vargas rebounded from […]
The New York Rangers season went from bad to worse last weekend as they let the Boston Bruins put up a 10-spot on them, and now, all the attention has turned to GM Chris Drury, and exactly how he's going to handle his roster. The Rangers are last in the Eastern Conference and there's no doubt some big moves are coming for the blue shirts. They've had some injury troubles this season, including goaltender Igor Shesterkin, but it's certainly a disappointing season to this point on Broadway, as m...

Well, John Harbaugh did leave the New York Giants without agreeing to become their next head coach. That’s the good news. The bad news is that he is not scheduled to travel to any other facilities to meet with teams. It can’t be a good sign that he isn’t going anywhere else. Dianna Russini is […]
Earlier today, it was announced that the Arizona Diamondbacks had traded for Cardinals’ third baseman Nolan Arenado. The Cardinals are eating $31M of the $42M left on the remaining two years of Arenado’s deal. The Cardinals have been trying to unload Arenado for two offseasons. He famously rejected a deal to the Astros last year […]

Yesterday, we heard from GM Mike Hazen about why he carried out the trade which brought third baseman Nolan Arenado to the desert. Today, it’s the turn of the player to talk about why he agreed to come to Arizona, what he brings to the table, both on and off the field, and what his […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Ranger Suarez, and he comes to Boston via major league free agency. He signed for five years and $130 million. He did have a qualifying offer attached, so the Red Sox will forfeit two draft picks and $1 million in international bonus pool money. Suarez […]
Mets pitchers and catchers will have their first official 2026 spring training workout on Wednesday, February 11, and position players will get their workouts underway on Monday, February 16.

Missouri continued its rebuild of the secondary through the transfer portal Wednesday, securing the commitment of Oregon cornerback Sione Laulea. The Mountain View, California, native is expected to have one year of eligibility remaining. Laulea became the second former Duck to commit to the Tigers this offseason, joining fellow cornerback Jahlil Florence. He appeared in […]
The Yankees finally made their first notable external addition on Tuesday night following weeks of dormancy, acquiring left-handed starting pitcher Ryan Weathers from the Marlins for a package of four prospects. My colleague Michael provided the immediate breakdown of the trade, Weathers’ performance in his five big league seasons, and the prospects heading in the […]
It was about as big a weekend in Chicago sports as any of us have experienced since 2016. With all due respect to four playoff teams the Cubs have had since 2016 and the 2020-21 White Sox, they didn’t quite ignite the same frenzy in Chicagoland we saw on Saturday. First the Bears came back […]
Riddle me this, Batman. Now that the St. Louis Cardinals have banked millions of dollars by making significant veteran trades this offseason, what can they do to prove to the fans that they’re dedicated to winning? Would you sign a major free agent or negotiate a major extension with one of your core young players? […]
It won’t get the headlines of a major trade or free agent signing, but maneuvering within the Chicago Cubs’ front office is nevertheless very important. Every year in the offseason we see movement, sometimes departures, sometimes outside hires, often promotions, and this year, Tyler Zombro getting the bump to VP of Pitching isn’t the only move. The Cubs have also announced that Garrett Chiado has been promoted to Assistant General Manager, joining Jared Banner and Ehsan Bokhari as the AGM...
There had been a quiet buzz for weeks that Dante Moore might bypass the 2026 NFL Draft and return to Eugene for another season. That chatter only grew louder as draft order clarity emerged — particularly with the New York Jets holding the No. 2 overall pick and looming as a likely landing spot. For many quarterbacks, that path would be hard to ignore. Early first-round draft capital, a life-changing contract, and the chance to begin an NFL career often outweigh concerns about fit or franc...
MLB Rumors: The Boston Red Sox and Ranger Suarez have agreed to terms on a five year, $130 million deal, per reports. Suarez, a 30 year old lefthanded starter, has spent his entire career up to this point with the Philadelphia Phillies, who signed him as an international free agent in 2012. After getting a […]
