The New York Rangers are working with Artemi Panarin to find him a new team before the trade deadline this season. GM Chris Drury has made it clear as day that the team won't be offering Panarin a contract extension, and they'll begin their re-tool, looking to move Panarin for a package that includes a first-round pick, top prospect, and a conditional draft pick/mid-level prospect. While Panarin holds all the say because of his full no-movement clause, there's been a few teams thrown out there...

“We’ve got some financial flexibility now to continue to bring in talent.” Talk about a real knee-slapper. The White Sox GM sure knows how to tell ’em.

As I write this, I am staring out my window watching snow fall at about one inch per hour. You, the readers, are scattered all around the country, but there are large swaths of states affected by this weekend’s massive storm.

This week’s Media Bytes digs into why J.T. Miller isn’t going anywhere, why skepticism around The Letter 2.0 is growing louder, and why insiders are openly questioning whether this front office can actually pull off another “retool.”

The Braves only managed 76 wins last season. It’s hard to imagine the Braves doing worse than that. And that 76 win team had a 10 game winning streak in September. That team lost their Opening Day starting rotation. Well, you all know all that. But was 2025 as bad as it will get? At […]

Yesterday was a mess in the SEC. Mississippi State lost at home to Vanderbilt by a lot, Auburn beat Florida in Gainesville, Tennessee toppled the G-League All Stars in Tuscaloosa, and Texas blasted top 25 Georgia in the second half by 20. Considering the range of results in the league, Missouri should think themselves fortunate […]

The gloves are still on. But the Cubs are ‘going for it’, and there aren’t so many kids playing. Maybe Kevin Alcantara breaks camp with the big kids. Otherwise, it’s pretty much a veteran squad. Jaxon Wiggins might change that some, but he isn’t expected any time soon. He’ll be handled with the proverbial sartorial […]

Not every big move is created equally. Sometimes necessity meets opportunity, and you get the ideal scenario for a deal, something we recently saw with Cody Bellinger and an agreement to return to the Bronx that made too much sense for every party involved. Other times, as a team like the Dodgers has routinely shown, […]

Entering Saturday, 4.8 seconds had a rotten place in Mizzou men’s basketball lore. That was the amount of time on the clock before UCLA’s Tyus Edney took an inbounds pass, raced up the court and sank a buzzer-beating layup off the glass to beat the Tigers in the 1995 NCAA Tournament. The top-seeded Bruins not […]
