Is Alex Bregman “a done deal” for the Arizona Diamondbacks?

To be honest, I had not been paying particular attention to the “OMG! ALEX BREGMAN TO THE D-BACKS!!!” reports doing the rounds. It seemed like too much of a budgetary stretch, for a team frequently reported to be looking to reduce payroll. Even in the wake of a Ketel Marte trade, there simply did not […]

Cubs position player pitchers: Chris Gimenez

The Cubs had struggled early in 2018, but a 16-7 run from May 27 to June 20 had put them into a first-place tie with the Brewers at 42-29. Then they went on a disastrous road trip to Cincinnati and Los Angeles where they lost six of eight. The third of those games was against […]

Maxx Crosby leaves Las Vegas Raiders’ facility after getting shut down for final 2 games

The Las Vegas Raiders informed defensive end Maxx Crosby that they are shutting him down and he won’t play in the Raiders’ final two regular-season games against the New York Giants and Kansas City Chiefs, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer. Reportedly, that caused a disagreement between Crosby and the club, leading to the Pro […]

Looking Forward to Another Year of Chicago Cubs Pitching Prospect Jaxon Wiggins

As we await some more signings to go down, and specifically await a couple key postings from Japan to resolve, I got to thinking about Chicago Cubs starting pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins. If all goes well for him in the first half of 2026, there’s a very good chance he could impact the big league team in the second half, much like Cade Horton did in 2025 ( I’ll be realistic and not dream on THAT much impact, but still – doesn’t even have to be that much to be significant! ). And that’s all r...

2026 NFL Mock Draft: Jets Swing Big, Giants Reload, Draft Board Shifts

The Jets make the aggressive swing everyone has been waiting for, jumping up to No. 1 overall in a rare intra-city, intra-stadium trade with the Giants to secure their quarterback of the future to open this NFL Mock Draft . From there, the draft unfolds with familiar themes — quarterback desperation, wide receiver premium, and edge-rusher scarcity — but with some surprising twists. The Raiders dive back into QB roulette. The Browns pivot from their typical trench profile to a wide receive...

To the Reds credit, we get to sleep on Brandon Williamson and Rhett Lowder

It was announced earlier in December that Aaron Harang would be inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame during the summer of 2026. His spate of brilliance came during the mid-aughts era of Reds history, a time when he became both the first pitcher in National League history to lead the league in both […]

Are the New York Giants tanking?

Considering the Las Vegas Raiders have already lost to the Tennessee Titans and the Cleveland Browns this season, one could argue that those were the Divisional and Conference Championship rounds for the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. And now that the two worst teams in the NFL, the Raiders and the […]

The 5 worst Cubs games of 2025

Recent reports indicate that FanDuel Sports Network, one of the biggest regional sports networks remaining in the traditional media market, is at serious risk of bankruptcy.

Could There Be Extra Value for the Chicago Cubs in Signing Both Tatsuya Imai and Kazuma Okamoto Right Now?

With postings for righty Tatsuya Imai and corner infielder Kazuma Okamoto coming just after the calendar flips to 2026, and with the Chicago Cubs still popping up in what thin rumors and speculation we see on these two guys, I said something off the cuff for fun. Get ’em both: Maybe the math won't work in the end, but it'd sure be fun as heck if the Cubs landed both Tatsuya Imai and Kazuma Okamoto. — Brett Taylor (@Brett_A_Taylor) December 23, 2025 I hadn’t really put any ...
