The Philadelphia Eagles opened the 21-day practice window for rookie offensive tackle Cameron Williams to return from injured reserve, according to an official team announcement.

Luis Arraez is a player of extremes. When you look at his Baseball Savant page, all of his stats are either in the top 5 percentile of the bottom 5 percentile. His outlier skillset has made him a polarizing player and a guy fans love to talk about. He has won three batting titles in […]

The Cubs have a new left-handed reliever: This seems a signing well in line with Jed Hoyer’s practice of recent years — sign a mid-range reliever who’s had some success in the past and hope to make something out of him, as the Cubs did in 2025 with Caleb Thielbar and Drew Pomeranz. Milner, like […]

After I got done posting Wednesday night’s open thread, I ended it on this note: The Braves were involved in a few rumors but nothing turned concrete. Maybe that’ll be the case in the near future? We’ll see what happens. Well, less than 24 hours later, the Atlanta Braves have made two big free agency […]
When Kalif Raymond went down with an ankle injury in the Detroit Lions’ Week 12 win over the New York Giants, it appeared they had lost one of their biggest weapons on special teams.

The news that broke on Tuesday that Kyle Schwarber has agreed to return to Philadelphia for the next five years was met with the appropriate levels of exuberance, cautious optimism and casual pessimism.
