Anne Rogers does an AMA on Reddit and is asked about what pitching the Royals can trade for a bat. What remains to be seen is what the trade market looks like for those starters in regard to who the Royals want to get in return, and who exactly they’re willing to give up. They […]

Luis Campusano will be returning to the San Diego Padres after he and the team agreed to a one-year deal for the 2026 season, according to a report from AJ Cassavell on Padres.com. The struggles of Campusano have been discussed in great detail over the past couple of seasons. His defense leads much to be […]
The early Saturday kick-off, especially after an international break, is rarely the game that gifts us flowing, entertaining football, and that was certainly the case here, especially early on. Chelsea could hardly string together a couple passes or hit an accurate long ball, let alone pose any danger on the opposition goal. Burnley weren’t much […]
Grace returns from yet another hacking cough to discuss everything she’s missed. First, she dives into the World Series. Better late than never! She discusses the fun and the message delivered by both teams in the razor thin series. Next, she dove into the present offseason. Free agents, the Mets movement, and the award winners. […]

There’s a sense that the St. Louis Cardinals have a special player in JJ Wetherholt. There’s no debating his talent, but can anyone possibly live up to the hype that is building around him? I found an all-star comp that provides an encouraging look at what the Cardinals can expect. When the St. Louis Cardinals […]
The 2025 Yankees’ season came to a closer about a month and a half ago, with the Blue Jays affirming their surprising AL East crown by taking out the Yanks in a four-game Division Series. You might be surprised at how quickly names can fade from your mind though, even from recent memory. If you’re […]
The deadline to give players a contract for the following season is always fun. Names that you wouldn’t expect to be free agents are suddenly there for the signing for any team willing to give them a deal. This year is no different. Several “big” names have been nontendered by their now former teams, those […]
Coming off a rough loss in the primetime spotlight, the Detroit Lions are hoping for a comfortable win against the 2-9 New York Giants this week. Back in front of a home crowd, the Lions are looking to shake off a bad loss and add another tally in the win column on the road to […]
Writing the Dane Dunning review, I ran across this July 31st game versus the Reds. Dunning pitched in that game, and it didn’t go great. A little too much BABIP for Dane’s taste and for us fans. This was likely the most certifiably nutty game of the year. Not that it made us nutty, 2025 […]
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell Richard Fitts, acquired a couple of offseasons ago for Alex Verdugo, had some difficulties finding his spot in the rotation, along with the strike zone, and also dealth with the worst struggle of all, injuries. The Good At the age of 25, Richard Fitts ticked his velocity up a few […]
Longtime Dodgers broadcaster and outfielder Rick Monday turned 80 on Thursday. One day earlier, he was presented with The Bob Feller Act of Valor Patriot Award in Washington D.C., an honor given by Feller’s foundation annually to “a former MLB player who demonstrates the Foundation’s 4 Pillars of Service, Sacrifice, Citizenship and Legacy.” Mark Langill […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Names in the news today: Rob Refsnyder, Michael King. Several places have discussed both. Refsnyder looks like Turner-lite and that probably doesn’t have legs. Signing King would add a brisker pace to the offseason. *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. {$} means […]
MLB History 1954 – The Pirates draft Roberto Clemente from the Triple A roster of the Brooklyn Dodgers. 1957 – Mickey Mantle edges out Ted Williams to win the MVP Award in the American League. Mantle hit .365 with 34 home runs. Williams led the AL with a .388 average, 38 home runs and a […]
The offseason is starting to ramp up, as the 40-man Rule 5 protection deadline passed on Tuesday, as well as the non-tender deadline on Friday. The Colorado Rockies protected LHP Welinton Herrera, RHP Gabriel Hughes and OF Sterlin Thompson. They also DFA’d 1B Michael Toglia and LHP Ryan Rolison. The former was non-tendered on Friday, […]
Good morning, baseball fans! I wanted to try something new and (hopefully) fun this weekend. That’s right, a pop quiz! Kind of. One thing I’ve noticed about sports fans is that when you get them together, they like to argue. Sometimes about things that are completely subjective, and sometimes about things that are well-defined (but […]
Good morning Birdland, One of the more significant offseason deadlines has come and gone. The Orioles have tendered contracts to all but one of their arbitration-eligible players. Albert Suárez was the only one left out. He will now become a free agent. The one move that is getting more attention than the others is the […]
The tender deadline has come and gone, players have been protected from the Rule 5 draft and now the fun can begin. We know who will be free agents completely now as opposed to just those that filed once the World Series was over. It makes it that much more interesting now that we know […]
The Detroit Lions may be 12.5-point favorites over the New York Giants this week, but they better not take them lightly. Despite their 2-9 record, the Giants have been scrappy this year. Not only have both of their wins come against teams currently in playoff spots (Chargers, Eagles), but they’ve played almost everyone close, and […]
Kentucky fans have a lot to cheer for today as multiple sports teams play in big-time games. First, in Louisville, Kentucky women’s basketball head coach Kenny Brooks and his team will face off against the in-state rival Louisville Cardinals in a Top-25 showdown. The Wildcats are off to a 6-0 start while Louisville is 4-1 […]
Late Friday afternoon was a deadline on the otherwise-light Major League Baseball schedule for November, as teams had until 6pm ET to decide to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players or not. Five pitchers got the ax, with Mark Leiter Jr., Ian Hamilton, Scott Effross, Jake Cousins, and Michael Arias all becoming free agents. Some may […]
