As Phillies fans hope that the team has another big move left in them (Don’t hold your breath!), I decided to take a look at recent offseasons to see how many big moves they’ve made closer to the start of camp. Then, as one does, I decided to make the exercise into an interactive March […]

Day 6 of the Chicago Bears offseason. The Chicago sports media landscape lost a legend on Friday with the passing of Terry Boers. A former Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Boers might be best known for being one of the most influential people in the history of this city’s sports radio scene. His shows with Dan Bernstein (and earlier, Dan McNeil) were game-changers. Those shows launched the careers of producers, radio hosts, execs, and other folks in this industry. They also opened a path for sport...

The second round was a much closer race this time around between left-handers Jamie Arnold and Gage Jump. Arnold came out on top though with roughly 60% of the vote, taking the second overall spot in this year’s Community Prospect List. The 11th overall pick in the draft just this past year, Arnold is further […]

By the end of the Jets’ disastrous 2025 season, the noise would be deafening. Same headlines, same arguments, same familiar question. How does this keep happening? Now imagine Aaron Glenn still standing, but bruised making a quiet trip to see Bill Parcells. No cameras. No quotes. Just football truth. Parcells isn’t drawing up blitz packages […]

Here’s another photo sent to me by BCB reader Joe Coney. I sleuthed one of his scoreboard photos last weekend and this is another one. So, what do we know about this photo? The Cubs are playing the Giants. Again, as in the last photo, it has to be between 1978 and 1981, because the […]

In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco take a comprehensive look at the Kansas City Royals’ infield and prospect pipeline as the offseason unfolds.

Neil Allen had a perfectly nice 11-year career as a major-league pitcher, mostly out of the bullpen. Parts of three of those seasons came with the Yankees, across two different stints. He was generally pretty solid, albeit on teams that fell short of the postseason, despite over-.500 records. After his playing career, he went into […]

Yesterday, I took a look at the Boise State Broncos softball team, a team which will be going through a likely difficult transition year after losing six of their seven best hitters in the offseason. Today, it’s time for the team that went through nearly the exact same thing last season that the Broncos will […]

With the Nationals receiving five legitimate prospects in the MacKenzie Gore trade, there is a lot for us to break down. As I dug into the package, Devin Fitz-Gerald is a name that really intrigues me. On paper, he is probably the third piece in the deal, but I think there is a good chance […]

Good morning, LSB. Shawn McFarland writes about Jacob Latz’s chances at the starting rotation, which got a little cloudier with the acquisition of MacKenzie Gore. Sebastian Walcott is the 7th-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline’s updated rankings. The Athletic grades the Gore trade. And Nathan Eovaldi is the most recent guest on Evan […]

After the departures of Edwin Díaz, Ryne Stanek, Tyler Rogers, and Gregory Soto and injuries to Reed Garrett and Dedniel Núñez, the Mets needed to do some work to rebuild their bullpen this offseason. And work has been done. The Mets have added four pieces from outside the organization who will likely fill important roles […]

Anne Rogers writes about position players that could get invited to spring training. We’ll see Collins in left field the majority of the time, while Thomas will move among all three spots. The Royals touted Collins’ ability to play second base when they acquired him, giving them flexibility, so it’ll be interesting to see whether […]

Hello friends! Happy Saturday to you all. While I understand the weather is calm in Seattle this weekend, I hope my fellow east coasters (and those in the south and midwest) stay safe from the storm. Here’s what’s going on in baseball as we get the weekend underway. In Mariners news… Around the league…

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick offered a positive update on the status of midfielder Gavi and left the door open for Ronald Araujo to make his first start in over two months in Sunday’s La Liga match against Real Oviedo. Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Flick gave a very optimistic-sounding answer on the chances […]

This round was so close, we had to conduct an internal staff poll to break the tie so we could proceed in hopes of getting a few more Votes in. It came down to two players taking big leaps on the ballot, Gage Ziehl and Alexander Albertus. It was Ziehl who prevailed, with 11 of […]

Sportswriter Joon Lee recently posted a video to YouTube where he tries to shed light on why the Los Angeles Dodgers seem to have an endless stream of money with which to pay the top players in the game. The back-to-back World Series Champions made waves in MLB with the signing of free agent outfielder […]

San Jose showed exactly what a real youth movement looks like, while the Rangers took penalties, chased the puck, and offered another grim preview of life after the sell-off.

The New York Rangers have been discussing multiple trades the past few weeks and one Ranger who is drawing the most trade interest is two-way center, Vincent Trocheck Trocheck, 32, is one of the few Rangers' trade candidates who doesn't have a full no-movement clause. He holds a 12-team no-trade list so there's certainly some say in the matter, but GM Chris Drury has some options if he wants to pull the trigger. Trocheck's appeared in 38 games this season, scoring 11 times and adding 21 points...

The Pittsburgh Pirates are looking to be a better ballclub in 2026 after finishing last place in the NL Central standings in 2025. The Pirates made moves to boost their offense, which should help aid a pitching staff led by Cy Young award winner Paul Skenes. Bleacher Report writer Joel Reuter conducted power rankings and […]

Unless you missed the news on The Weather Channel, local news channels, national news channels, from Facebook, Twitter, your co-workers, your mama and your grandma; there’s a storm brewing. Anywhere from four to eighteen inches of snow is headed. The grocery stores in my part of Braves Country were at DEFCON 2 on Thursday and […]

It feels like the MLB roster is all but set for the Yankees. With Cody Bellinger back in the fold, and backing up Aaron Judge, the club will more or less return the same nine or ten everyday players that we saw last season. The other major position player signing this winter was of course […]

A lot of people around the team’s fanbase are expecting the Phillies to have a worse season in 2026 than they had in 2025. Whether that be though lack of moves on the free agent/trade market or a natural regression to their true talent, there seems to be a bunch of things people see going […]

The recent talk about Dustin Pedroia on the Hall of Fame ballot has only further increased my desire for a capable, reliable Red Sox infield. We’ve seen it before, and we could get there again. Alex Bregman’s departure not only opened up a hole which the front office thought it had solved in 2025, but […]

1939 It was the early years of the Hall of Fame, so voting results could still tend to be pretty weird. Case in point, Eddie Collins was voted into the Hall of Fame — on his fourth try. Collins, by his 124.4 WAR the best second baseman in baseball history, had fallen 110 votes short […]
