The Missouri Tigers capped off the regular season on Saturday with a 31-17 road win over the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville. Mizzou finished 8-4 (4-4 SEC) and captured their fourth straight Battle Line Rivalry victory. Now, a bowl game waits for Eli Drinkwitz’s Tigers with the destination to be determined. Here is our final MV3 […]
Here we are a season later, and the Detroit Tigers should still sign free agent third baseman Alex Bregman. Their struggles down the stretch and in the postseason perfectly emphasized the need for Bregman-type hitters. Scott Harris and the Tigers know this well, hence their pursuit last offseason. Top prospect Kevin McGonigle has similar traits […]
Braves Franchise History 1912 – Boston Braves owner James Gaffney purchases the Allston Golf Club on Commonwealth Avenue with a plan to construct a ballpark there. Groundbreaking will take place on March 20, 1915. 1998 – Free agent outfielder Otis Nixon is signed by the Atlanta Braves. The speedster Nixon was a starter for Atlanta […]
I noticed a curious thing when I was perusing potential outfielders for the Cardinals to sign. I noticed this when I made a case for Michael Conforto, which was understandably not received that well. If you hyper focus on right-handed outfielders, there’s a bunch of former Cardinals. It’s actually kind of crazy how many of […]
In a vacuum, ignoring injury, the Yankees’ starting rotation for 2026 looks outstanding. Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Cam Schlittler, Luis Gil, and Will Warren all return, and the Yanks just recently re-signed Ryan Yarbrough. That’s six legitimate starting pitchers and a guy who was pretty successful as a spot starter/swingman for New York […]

Today, I wanted to get into our favorite defensive plays of the 2025 season. There were a LOT of great plays and catches […]
Starting pitching is generally an issue for the Colorado Rockies, but their woes were especially apparently in 2025. The Rockies’ rotation set a modern-era record for worst ERA at 6.65 through a league second-fewest 776.1 innings of work. The Rockies’ 2026 rotation is set to look very different. Austin Gomber and Germán Márquez have both […]
Good morning.
Alex Speier at the Boston Globe writes about Boston’s pursuit of Cole Ragans. For teams that are in the market for high-end starting pitching and willing to deal big league talent to get it, the Royals represent one of the most interesting potential trade partners of the offseason. Kansas City isn’t hiding its willingness to […]
Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Today we look at someone who could replace Alex Bregman’s bat on shorter years. Who is he and where […]
Good morning! It can be hard to return to work after an extended break. So do yourself a favor this morning and ease into things. Instead of going through your emails, watch this 15 minute home movie footage of the 1946 Red Sox — including the World Series against the Cardinals. Talk about what you […]
The ACC went 2-2 against the SEC on rivalry week, but the real story is SMU’s loss opened the door for a doomsday scenario for the conference where the champion misses the playoff. Definitive Worst in the ACC 17. Syracuse (3-9 [1-7] Prev 17): When you’re getting blown out at home to Boston College, you’re in […]
While it may seem a bit odd, December typically is one of the most exciting months on the baseball calendar. The Winter Meetings is typically the peak of off-season activity, and we are just a week away from the 2025 MLB Winter Meetings starting. This does not mean that moves will stop until then, but […]

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. Today in […]
I’m not a huge college football fan. I like watching the playoffs, the bowls, but following a team for a whole season is just something this local college boy never really did. So all of this news about Lane Kiffin just makes me sad for the state of athletics at the collegiate level. Do I […]
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters, and welcome to December! The Orioles made a splash over the holiday weekend by signing a new closer. Ryan Helsley got a two-year deal from the Orioles with a player opt-out after year one. Helsley had three outstanding seasons with St. Louis before falling apart with the Mets after the trade […]
The New England Patriots did not exactly enjoy a weekend off, but they were able to watch the action unfold from afar before their Monday night matchup with the New York Giants. What they saw was the race for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoff picture remaining highly contested: thanks to a 27-26 […]
Usually, we’ll do some kind of preamble here with brief thoughts on baseball activity from the previous day. But boy, the MLB offseason was as quiet as a day in late January. Maybe everyone was just anxious for December and today will offer more. Today on the site, Kevin will consider Michael King as a […]
