When news broke that the New York Rangers wouldn’t be signing Artemi Panarin to a contract extension, instead looking to find him a new home, it was reasonable to dismiss the idea of the Edmonton Oilers trading for him. An $11.6 million cap hit was the obvious roadblock for the Oilers, but so too was…

It’s January 2011 and the Yankees have narrowly missed out on the opportunity to defend their World Series crown, having been bounced out of the ALCS by the Rangers in six games.

Eighth in the series. Today we look at the Cubs’ third-year first baseman. Michael Busch, drafted in the first round (2019) by the Dodgers (31st overall, from UNC), and later acquired by the Cubs for second-round pick Jackson Ferris and minor leaguer Zyhir Hope, has paid dividends since being installed as the Cubs first baseman.

As we discussed this morning , there’s just one week left before pitchers and catchers are officially reporting to Spring Training, and the many, many starting pitchers still out there in free agency are likely to want to finalize deals as soon as possible so they can report on time with their new teammates. It’s a human thing, and although it’s never a hard and fast line, it’s a real one. To that end, free agent righty Zac Gallen may be close to a decision, though it’s pretty hard to kno...

The Reds made their signing of Geno official on Tuesday afternoon, designating catcher Ben Rortvedt for assignment in the process in order to make room on […]

For the Arizona Cardinals, fixing their team is not just about one draft, but getting the draft right and getting high impact players is going to be a key to fixing their team. Matt Miller dropped his first 2026 NFL Mock Draft on Monday, and he was brave enough to do two rounds, and for […]

It’s that time of year again! After a busy offseason of transactions that’s seen several top prospects shipped out for controllable talent, the Mariners farm system looks substantially different than it did at the end of last year.

LSU wasn’t just good up the middle in 2025, they were great. Historically great in fact. The tandem of Steven Milam and Daniel Dickinson seemingly turned two every chance they had, and the Tigers as a team fielded a program-best .981 last season. Jay Johnson prides himself as an offensive coach, but he values defense. […]

Friends, fear not. The bottom of the bullpen churn will continue in some fashion. Listen, Robert wasn’t deserving of a major league deal. He works well as minor league depth, someone who has had at least a modicum of success at the major league level. Having those kinds of players at Lehigh Valley has value, […]
