Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! We’re just three days to Christmas, so if the Orioles are going to make another big move this week, it will probably happen today or tomorrow. It feels greedy to hope for another big move just days after Mike Elias traded four prospects and a draft pick to the Rays for […]
Well, that news coming out of the south side of Chicago is certainly news that I don’t think anyone predicted. It feels like there are two ways to think of the Murakami news. First is that if he is a success, he is only on a two-year deal and can score bigger bucks in another […]

The division saw another sizeable move occur, as Boston jumped back into the mix with another trade with St. Louis — this time going for Willson Contreras to play first base for them.

The Arizona Cardinals should be leading. Or maybe trailing. Whatever it should be, the reality is they are tied with the Atlanta Falcons after the first half and the game is unfolding like Jess and I expected.
