The Detroit Lions are trying to get back on track and stay in the NFC North race after a disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. This week, the 2-9 New York Giants are in town, and despite their record, they have been described as scrappy and “better than their record.” Are the Lions on upset […]
Colorado showed the gap, Igor kept it close, the Rangers beat themselves late, and Utah suddenly feels like a must-win.
After Tuesday’s trade of Grayson Rodriguez—which was puzzling or just startling, depending on your perspective—the Orioles’ rotation needs have become even more pronounced. Starting pitching was already at the top of Mike Elias’ offseason to-do list, but the departure of Rodriguez means Baltimore now has one fewer established arm to pencil into next season’s rotation. […]
Earlier this week, ESPN’s Jeff Passan published a large preview of the MLB offseason that touched upon many of the top storylines to keep track of over the winter. Within it, Passan added some reporting regarding the early stages of the markets for many of the top free agents, including Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto. […]
After Vidal Brujan’s split contract, the Braves have six (seven?) arbitration-eligible players that could be non-tendered by this afternoon’s deadline: Dubon is pretty much a lock because, well, they traded for him and his modest-but-higher-than-Nick-Allen’s-would-have-been arbitration-eligible salary. Lee and White seem like near-locks because they aren’t due very much (likely at or under $2 million) […]
We should all be #PL34SED by one alum’s performance last week, so let’s look back at the former Orange on NFL rosters: Arizona Cardinals: Garrett Williams Williams had three tackles and a pass break up in the loss to San Francisco. Atlanta Falcons: Matthew Bergeron Bergeron missed another game, but he’s back at Falcons practice […]
It’s a good idea to know what you’ve got before going out shopping. With that in mind, let’s try to assess what the Detroit Tigers can reasonably expect their farm system to produce in 2026 before we get into free agents and trade ideas this offseason. We’ll start with position players and follow up with […]
Meet the Mets The Kodai Senga market is taking shape as the Mets listen to offers, writes Jon Heyman. The Mets have not asked Brandon Nimmo about waiving his no trade clause despite reports that they are shopping the left fielder. Jorge Castillo explored all the potential fits for Pete Alonso. The Mets were not […]
The Cal Baptist Lancers (4-0) aim to build on a three-game home win streak when they host the Grambling Tigers (3-2) on November 21, 2025. Cal Baptist was victorious in its previous game against UC Riverside, 80-57, on Tuesday. Dominique Daniels Jr. was its high scorer with 25 points. In its previous game, Grambling lost to San Diego on Tuesday, 78-68. Its top scorer was Antonio Munoz with 21 points. When is Cal Baptist vs. Grambling and when does it start? This matchup between the Lance...
The Atlanta Braves made yet another move this week, this time signing infielder Vidal Brujan to a split contract for the 2026 season. Brujan was acquired by the Braves in August. From there, he appeared in 24 games with a .268 batting average and a perfect fielding percentage. This split contract allows the Braves to […]
Since the Padres inaugural season in 1969, the Dodgers have mostly maintained the upper hand in clashes between the two teams. Since the 2020 season, San Diego’s goal has been to create a serious rivalry between themselves and the Dodgers. To put it simply, they got what they wished for, and they are paying for […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Good morning. I think Al pretty much handled the fiasco concerning the MLB TV rights, so we’ll skip that here.
Kindof an eventful day for mid November. In case you missed it, Max had you covered: MLBTR had stories about Lange and McArthur. Anne Rogers also writes about Lange as she was the one who broke the news: The Royals signed right-hander Alex Lange to a one-year deal on Thursday night, bringing in the reliever […]
A year ago, there was an argument to be made that Devin Williams was the best relief pitcher in baseball. He had just wrapped a six-season stint at the back of the Brewers bullpen that saw him compile a 1.83 ERA and save 68 games over 235.1 total innings. All that stood in between him […]
Two days ago, I turned 40 years old. On one hand, my body is feeling it. Year #39 has been challenging from a health perspective. A severe noro-virus wiped me out at the beginning of the year, my 6’8” frame finally proved too much for my lower back (though strengthening PT has helped a lot!), […]
After a close vote for No. 4 (if you’ll recall, Sal Frelick won with nine votes to Christian Yelich’s eight votes), Yelich blew the competition out of the water in this week’s voting to slot in at No. 5 on our 2025 MVBrewers list. The BCB community voted for Yelich with 16 votes in The […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Since the season ended, the McCovey Chronicles staff have been doing player reviews that go over each member of the San Francisco Giants’ 2025 season. Today, I’m going to continue our community reviews where we ask you all to weigh in on how you feel like each player did this year […]
With Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt both recovering from Tommy John surgery to various degrees, Carlos Rodón out for at least the start of 2026, and the rest of the rotation bar Max Fried talented but inconsistent or still unproven, the Yankees could very well take a shot at a starting pitcher acquisition this winter. […]
Maybe it’s Blake Street Bomber nostalgia. Maybe it’s missing power hitters like Todd Helton, Carlos Gozález, prime Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story. Maybe it’s just wanting to have a fun, competitive baseball team again. But after each season, especially as Arenado and Story left town, I feel like it’s become my after-season tradition […]
Welcome to the series, ‘What’s The Trend,‘ which highlights the biggest risers and fallers in the Mizzou Football world each week! Mizzou is coming off an exciting win vs. Mississippi State and will look to stay hot and finish the season with 10 wins. Here are this week’s trends: On the Rise Ahmad Hardy, Ahmad […]
The Detroit Lions (6-4) and New York Giants (2-9) will square off in a Week 12 matchup at Ford Field. The Giants’ record is rough, but their talent is better than it suggests. New York will fight to stay in this game, but they’ll need to find a way to keep things together when the […]
Back in April at the NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns owned the first pick in the second round, which happened to be their own. RELATED: GARRETT, SCHWESINGER WIN NFL AWARDS? The Browns, New York Football Giants, and the Tennessee Titans all finished with 3-14-0 records, and through a series of tie-breakers, the Titans would pick […]
The banner of dystopian surveillance company Palantir hung above Fenway Park last weekend, lording over the spectacle of some college kids playing football, many more of them watching it, and most all their parents eating $12 burgers or whatever. It was the Secretaries’ Cup, and the United States Coast Guard Academy’s team was playing, and […]
The Tigers will don their purple uniforms against a team routinely in purple, the Furman Paladins, as they look to build momentum. Clemson does a tremendous job with its military appreciation every year, and it is always a cool experience for fans even if the opponent is not the most compelling. It is also senior […]
