Another successful business trip. After narrowly dispatching Stanford just days prior, Clemson took on its second West Coast opponent of the week and dismantled the California Bears by a score of 77-55. After a sloppy opening 5 minutes which saw shot clock violations from both teams and multiple turnovers, the Tigers flipped a switch and […]
More right-handed pitchers? Don’t mind if we do! This batch includes some names about which I’m quite excited, with promising youngsters, crafty veterans and someone bidding for their fourth season playing on the Diamondbacks… Daniel Eagen (80) There’s a case to be made that Eagen is the team’s top pitching prospect. A third-round pick in […]
The hits just keep on coming. Instead of being satisfied with their roster, the Phillies continue to add minor league depth to the bullpen. Trivino got into a few games with the team at the end of the season, so he’s familiar with the roster. But for all those that made jokes about the team […]
The Peoria Sports Complex in Peoria, Ariz. will be very busy beginning Feb. 10 as the San Diego Padres begin their 2026 season with pitchers and catchers reporting for physicals before their first workouts on Feb. 11. The next day, Feb. 12, is the report date for all Padres players who will be participating in […]
While I believe that many are very satisfied with what Chaim Bloom has accomplished with his many roster moves during the offseason, we’re about to begin the 2026 season with some fear and trepidation about how competitive or not the St. Louis Cardinals will be. Knowing what we know now, what do you think the […]
One of the key stories of Missouri’s season has been missed chances. The Tigers saw multiple opportunities for road wins against struggling opponents slip through their fingers early in conference play, placing them firmly on the bubble heading into the back half of their SEC schedule. After Mike Sharavjamts cut South Carolina’s deficit to 34-32 […]
This will be the last weekend without baseball, potentially until November, with Game 7 of the 2026 World Series scheduled for October 31. The Super Bowl is tomorrow (though we’re going to the RenFair), and football will then be done – mercifully, if you’re a Cardinals fan. The off-season is, effectively, over. So, before players […]
Terrance Gore, Royals postseason legend and three-time World Series champion, died last night. He was 34 years old. Gore is survived by his wife, Britney, and three children. Gore leaves behind an incredible baseball legacy as one of the greatest baserunning specialists of recent memory. Despite rarely coming to the plate, Gore stole 48 bases […]
Our latest roster preview heading into spring training looks at the Dodgers bullpen, which like the outfield was bolstered by signing the best free agent available. 40-man roster relievers Things to watch Swimming in the deep end: For the second offseason in a row, the Dodgers spent big on a reliever, signing Edwin Díaz for […]
2025 stats: 81 G, 77.1 IP, 1.98 ERA, 2.88 FIP, 203 ERA+, 0.94 WHIP, 5.6 K/9, 0.8 BB/9, 2.4 bWAR w/Giants: 53 G, 50 IP, 1.80 ERA, 2.64 FIP, 222 ERA+, 0.86 WHIP, 6.8 K/9, 0.7 BB/9, 1.7 bWAR So much has already been written. So much praise heaped. What more is there to write […]
According to a report by The Guardian’s Tom Garry, forward Catarina Macario has declined a contract extension at Chelsea. It was also announced that she was left off the upcoming UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) knockout stages. The USWNT forward is one of the biggest names in football and is attracting interest from all over […]
Instead of a question, today, we have an open thread to let out all your complaints about the Jays, or about the MLB if you want. (I’ll admit these topics aren’t my choosing, it’s an SB Nation thing). Hmmm vent…. Well, I would have liked them to sign Bo, but I can’t blame them for […]
Not that Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman make a bad double play combo to anchor your infield, but didn’t the A’s go into the off-season with different goals than their current outcomes? What is the method behind the madness? The A’s off-season shopping list started with the rotation, where the team was statistically among the […]
On Thursday, the Yankees announced the group of 27 players who they are inviting to spring training as non-roster invitees. This cohort of NRIs consists of 13 position players and 14 pitchers, headlined by several of their top prospects in addition to some familiar veteran names. I’ll be taking a look at some of the […]
Terrance Gore was known as one of the fastest men in baseball. He played in 14 games for the Cubs in 2018, mostly as a pinch-runner, and also appeared in the Wild Card Game that year against the Rockies. He was still in MLB as recently as 2022, with the Mets. Today, I have sad […]
In our last matchup, we had yet another blowout (not surprising really considering how bad the lower seeds were), with Jose Contreras easily overcoming Ronny Cedeño. Here’s our next matchup: 4. Jeff Hoffman, 2023 Jeff Hoffman came up with the Rockies in 2016, and as most Colorado pitchers do, he struggled. After a couple of […]
Looking back at the 2015 season, you can’t help but think of what was probably the greatest Cy Young battle in the modern era, as Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, and Jake Arrieta delivered a memorable three-way race, with the award going to the Cubs’ ace. Greinke and Kershaw were the heart and soul of that […]

Terrance Gore, the fleet-footed outfielder and pinch-running specialist who appeared in the 2021 post-season with the Atlanta Braves, has passed away at age 34. Gore, a native of Macon, Ga., passed away unexpectedly due to complications from a procedure, according to reports. He appeared in parts of eight MLB seasons from 2014 through 2022 – […]
Orioles GM Mike Elias has had a busy offseason in response to last year’s disappointing O’s campaign, making multiple high-profile moves that defied expectations. Yet with the Orioles having come up short on the high-end starting pitching free agents and not addressing that by trade either – unless you’re really excited about Shane Baz – […]
Let’s get that elusive third straight win. Go Cards.
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Padres fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The addition of Miguel Andujar by the San Diego Padres and their general manager A.J. Preller earlier this […]
The Washington Nationals are highly unlikely to make the playoffs in 2026. Paul Toboni knows that and so do Nationals fans. Even finishing above .500 feels like a pipe dream. However, that does not mean the Nats season is destined for failure. We are just going to have to look at things beyond the win/loss […]
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is a right-handed hitting first baseman who turns 27 in March. And, yeah, we really don’t need a ‘better know’ for him. He signed a 14-year contract extension back in April of last year, worth half a billion dollars. Seven seasons into his MLB career, he has a 25.9 bWAR, a .288/.366/.495 […]
BCB reader Clark Addison sent me some more photos to sleuth, and said none were easy. Well! I love a sleuthing challenge. Today, we have a photo of actor Joe Mantegna, a big Cubs fan and creator of the play “Bleacher Bums.” He’s with Cubs manager Joe Maddon, which already dates it between 2015 and […]
