Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers on winning the 2025 World Series, the ninth title in their franchise history. They’re the first team to win two straight since the Yankees won three in a row from 1998-2000. With that, baseball’s offseason commences. Here’s a handy calendar to help you fill your fall and winter until […]
The World Series ended, it was really exciting, boo the Dodgers , blah blah blah. THE OFFSEASON IS OFFICIALLY HERE! That’s what we’re really on about today, eh? Now it’s time for clubs to start their march toward the 2026 season, reconstructing or supplementing their rosters, and working on their organizations. For the Chicago Cubs, coming off of a well-earned 92-win season, the needs on the big league roster are relatively specific. There will be bench and bullpen work as always, but thi...

Now that the World Series is over, as tear-inducing as it was, the off-season starts, and off-season things happen. The morning after the World Series is decided, players can file for free agency. For four days, they can only negotiate with their current team, then, on the fifth day, God (or the commissioner) lets them […]
As of 6 a.m. PT on Sunday, the day after the World Series ended, all players with at least six years of major league service time who don’t have a contract for the 2026 season are now free agents, per Article XX(B) of the Major League Baseball collective bargaining agreement. Seven Dodgers are now free […]
The pitchforks have been out this season for Evan Bouchard. The mistakes have mounted, and it all came to a head Thursday night against the New York Rangers. After the loss in which Bouchard’s play cost them, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch was blunt: “If there’s accumulation of mistakes that are costing us regularly, then…
Back-to-back overtime wins highlight a growing theme for the Rangers—effort, depth, and defense carrying them while the stars stay cold.
So now that the confetti is cleared, let’s focus on what’s ahead. Often times, for some fans at least, the offseason is where the action is. Thanks to fantasy sports, we live in a perpetual time of trade ideas and free agent desires. Some fans like that action more than the action that takes place […]
A couple weeks ago, I discussed the four lefty bats since they were brought up by Katie Woo as a group who is likely to interest on the trade market. The quartet of Brendan Donovan, Alec Burleson, Lars Nootbaar, and Nolan Gorman are seen as expendable pieces as the Cardinals work towards their rebuild, but […]
Okay, now that we have that silly Game 7 out of the way, let’s get back to the important things. The Braves have some important spots to fill. They have identified shortstop, starting pitching and bullpen as the most pressing needs. They also need a manager. Sources tell me than Quincy, Ivan’s cat is available, […]
The Dallas Cowboys will host the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night in what many are touting as a must-win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Not only are they desperate to get back in the win column, but this team has never lost to a team with a losing record this season, so falling short […]
The time change is helping this morning, because I was up way too late watching that game … There’s just no way around it: that was one of the most incredible Game Sevens in a very long time. Yes, 2016 tops it in my completely biased opinion, but this is right up there just behind it. Some tremendous individual performances. Huge game swings. Close calls. Eye-popping defense in big spots. A game-tying 9th inning home run. Extra innings. And then a game-winner in the 11th: WILL SM...
Meet the Mets According to reports, the Mets are hiring Red Sox director of pitching Justin Willard to become their next pitching coach. Before his current role in Boston, the 35-year-old previously spent a number of years as a minor league coach and coordinator in the Twins organization. The Mets hired Rachel Folden to serve […]
1946 Beloved White Sox broadcaster and member of the 1983 White Sox division champs Tom Paciorek was born in Detroit. Paciorek was a two-sport star at the University of Houston, drafted in the ninth round by the Miami Dolphins and the fifth by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Offering $18,000 more as a bonus to sign […]
The Dodgers went and won another World Series on Saturday, the first MLB team to win consecutive championships since the New York Yankees from 1998-2000. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named World Series MVP, the easiest choice of all after he started and won Game 6, then closed out Game 7 by getting the final eight outs, […]
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. Something happened on this day in 2016. It hadn’t happened in a while. You probably know what I’m talking about. The 2026 team has a ways to go, but that’s the objective, or should be, when the real games begin today. *means autoplay on, (directions to remove […]
A day after an exciting Game 6, baseball fans were treated to the two best words in sports on Saturday — Game 7. With a roller coaster half-dozen games behind us, the drama in the final contest between the Blue Jays and Dodgers did not disappoint. It will likely go down as one of the […]

2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell He looked calm, cool, and collected at the Major Leagues level— but he still needs to find a way to stay on the field. The Good I don’t know if this was the supposed Alex Bregman influence or if this is just how Marcelo Mayer is as a player in […]
