Meet the Mets The 2025 Mets are dead and the 2026 Mets are dormant for now, so the official team YouTube uploaded a full Mike Piazza at-bat from the summer of 2001 which eventually ends in a walk-off home run. A few years of waiting after a trash can-adjacent cheating scheme blew his shot at […]

With Christmas in the rear view mirror and start of a new week here, it could make sense for some more free agents to find new homes in the coming days. While still in the midst of the holiday season, recent years have shown activity can still be fast and furious. Perhaps the Braves can […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have had their share of breakout players in recent seasons. In 2023, it was William Contreras and Hoby Milner. In 2024, it was Brice Turang, Jackson Chourio, Tobias Myers, and Bryan Hudson. In 2025, it was Sal Frelick, Caleb Durbin, Quinn Priester, and Chad Patrick. Those groups could obviously be expanded some […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
MLB.com lists a comeback candidate for each team. Royals: 2B Jonathan IndiaIndia had a tough first season with the Royals after they acquired him to be their leadoff man in a trade with the Reds following the 2024 season. His stats across the board were down, slashing .233/.323/.346 with an 89 wRC+. However, his strikeout rate […]
We’re in the holiday dead zone. Christmas has come and passed. Hanukkah long since ended. New Year’s isn’t here yet, and Kwanzaa is bridging the finished holidays and the yet-to-arrive one. It’s usually all quiet on the baseball front, but not everyone has gotten the message. Over the weekend, among other moves that were made, […]
It’s the mysterious week between the holidays here in Wisconsin, a snowstorm is coming, and we’re still waiting to see if the Brewers are going to trade their ace, their closer, or sign a backup catcher. So let’s keep thinking about the Brewers of the past. Today’s installment is a middle infielder who was a […]
I am going to say a controversial statement that also feels difficult to argue is false. The Cardinals minor league pitching depth right now is the greatest it’s ever been, at least since the Cardinals owned 70% of the minor league teams because Branch Rickey created the farm system. The major league pitching is not […]
Good morning. Most of our stories today come from state-approved media—i.e. MLB dot com—because it seems like most of the rest of the baseball media took the weekend off, as well as most of the front offices and free agents.
The Colorado Rockies have gone quiet as they have filled out most of their coaching staff and front office to begin the rebuild. There has been little news from 20th and Blake with the winter holidays making way for the end of 2025 and the start of 2026. There will no doubt be much more […]
There’s always been an inherent charm to the Bad Boy Mower’s Pinstripe Bowl. As a big fan of college football and the Yankees, I always try to tune into the Pinstripe Bowl whenever I can, even if the teams competing are usually entering with six or seven wins. As a Penn State student, a secret […]
Braves Franchise History 1932 – Shanty Hogan, who started his career with the Boston Braves, is purchased by the Braves after five years as the regular catcher for the New York Giants. Boston pays $25,000 for Hogan, who will finish his career with a .295 batting average. 1938 – The Boston Bees acquire Al Simmons […]
1939 The White Sox sold backup catcher Norm Schlueter and outfielder Hank Steinbacher to the St. Louis Browns. Both players were coming off of negative-WAR seasons, although Steinbacher had been a 1.9 WAR player as recently as 1938. This marked the third purchase the Browns had made from the White Sox in December 1939, and […]
Sunday’s game results work vs Cowboys’ draft interests in worst way – K.D. Drummond, Cowboys Wire Dallas isn’t getting any help. Sunday, however, didn’t work out well for the Cowboys. Dallas’ 7-8-1 record is likely going to reach 8-8-1 after hey play the New York Giants in Week 18. The Giants have lost nine in a row entering their […]
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Bleed Cubbie Blue is pleased to present a Cubs-centric look at baseball’s colorful past. Here’s a handy Cubs timeline, to help you follow the various narrative paths. “Maybe I called it wrong, but it’s official.” — Tom Connolly, HoF Umpire.

The Las Vegas Raiders managed to “win” the Tank Bowl by losing their Week 17 matchup with the New York Giants, putting the Raiders in control of the No. 1 overall pick for the 2026 NFL draft. All that stands in Las Vegas’ way is the season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs, which kicks […]
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters. The Orioles did something this weekend! They signed a starting pitcher, although it probably isn’t the pitcher you were hoping for. While you were out there hoping the Orioles would sign Tatsuya Imai or Ranger Suárez or Framber Valdez, instead they reunited with Zach Eflin on a one-year deal. The contract […]
Any Given Sunday. It’s not just a movie title, and a decent film for professional football, but it’s a true story. Except this week. There’s no chance the Arizona Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Rams, as the Rams continue to battle for playoff positioning and the Cardinals continue to battle for a better draft pick […]
We draw ever near to the new year, where we can finally turn our backs on the disappointment that was 2025. Maybe we’ll have fresh disappointment then! On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
There’s only three more days left of 2025, and then we’ll start counting down the days until spring training before you know it. The swift turnaround from offseason mode to preseason hope kindling will hopefully be spurred on by some major moves falling like dominos into our feeds, with the January 2nd posting date of […]
