The Pittsburgh Pirates have made plenty of roster moves to shape the team before the heart of free agency begins. On Tuesday, the Pirates added six prospects to the 40-man roster and parted ways with five former big leaguers.

In a span of seven days, Kentucky basketball has been severely outplayed on the national stage twice. First, it was against the Louisville Cardinals, Kentucky’s biggest rival. Most recently, it came against the Michigan State Spartans in the Champions Classic. A team that entered the season with Final Four expectations looks like a glimmer of […]
New Cubs rumor alert. And while the subject, Rob Refsnyder, is not particularly sexy, I do think a deal would make some sense. Let’s dive in. During the Q&A portion of Ken Rosenthal’s Fair Territory podcast , one listener wondered if the Cubs would consider signing a right-handed hitting outfielder this offseason to help improve their offensive baseline against left-handed pitching, specifically citing free agent Rob Reysnyder as a target. Given the presence of Ian Happ (switch-hitter, bu...

Although I still miss when the MLB Draft was in June, giving it PLENTY of distance from the MLB Trade Deadline (and thus giving front offices six+ weeks to focus fully on trade season, rather than just two), I still will take any maneuvering that gives it a little space from the All-Star festivities. It was a nice thought to bring the events together to try to maximize national attention, but in practice it wound up just making everything feel overcrowded. So, MLB is making a very modest ...
