We have not heard much about the Arizona Cardinals staff under Mike LaFleur, and that makes sense when you consider they have not even had an introductory press conference for their new head coach. However, we know that they will not have veteran defensive coordinator Gus Bradley. So, who will fill the coordinator roles of […]

Former Cincinnati Reds star Eugenio Suarez is current Cincinnati Reds star Eugenio Suarez, or will be when the ink on his $15 million deal goes dry. The two sides reportedly reunited on Sunday evening, and we’ve spent the last day excitedly wondering just how things are going to shake out as a result. Suarez, of […]

This has been a pretty eventful offseason so far for the Pittsburgh Pirates but with many big name free agents still on the market the Pirates are positioned to be a team that can snag one more player before the season starts. Now that we are in February the market for a lot of these […]

The day after Justin Hollander and Jerry Dipoto both said at Fan Fest that the Mariners were still looking to make one impact move, they backed that up today with the most significant trade of the Mariners off-season, a three-team trade with the Rays and Cardinals that will bring long-anticipated trade target Brendan Donovan to […]

Over the weekend, the infield market started churning , with free agents Luis Arraez (San Francisco) and Eugenio Suarez (Cincinnati) signing fresh deals with new teams. And that movement continued on Monday with long-rumored Cardinals trade chip Brendan Donovan getting dealt to Seattle in a three-team deal (pending physical). This transaction has some already-realized, near-term impact on the Cubs, seeing as the Cardinals’ sell-off is now even more substantial (they REALLY went for it, de...

MLB Trade Rumors: St. Louis infielder Brendan Donovan is heading to the Seattle Mariners in a three way deal that, of course, features the Tampa Bay Rays as the third team, per reports. Donovan, 29, finished third in the Rookie of the Year voting in 2022, a year in which he also nabbed the utility […]

Happy January Transfer Window Deadline Day everybody! Not a whole lot happened, however. Actually, other than Liverpool signing Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet, for £60m (£55m up front + £5m in potential add-ons), pretty much nothing happened. It was a very quiet deadline day, to cap off a pretty quiet winter window. And Jeremy Jacquet isn’t […] The post Jeremy Jacquet Set for Liverpool Medical Ahead of £60m Move appeared first on The Sports Bank .

The Chicago Cubs will play a kinda-sorta-almost baseball game this month. Several of them, actually! The first is February 20 at Sloan Park, as the Cubs kick off the Cactus League slate against the White Sox. The official first workout date for the club is still nine days away, but you know these guys are training just about year-round, and there’s no better place to do it than at the Cubs’ facilities in Mesa, Arizona. So you see lots of guys showing up pretty much from the flip of the ca...

MESA, Arizona — I decided to head over to Sloan Park Monday, as I heard the equipment truck that left Chicago Friday was going to arrive. You can see the truck at the top of this post; here are some more photos of Cubs staffers unloading equipment: While I was there I headed over toward […]

We’re finally in the home stretch of the offseason. Spring training is just a couple of weeks away, and before we know it the 2026 Yankees will be taking the field and playing ball with the goal of avenging their disappointing finish last year. This is true moreso than most teams that got bounced because […]

Pitchers and catchers may not have reported yet, but I figured I need to get an early jump on our usual review of the non-roster invitees to spring training. That’s because there are an awful lot of them this season. The team announced the list on Friday, and there are thirty-two non-roster invitees, in addition […]

It has been expected (by me, at least) ever since Main Street/FanDuel Sports Network (the successor to Diamond/Bally) missed a broadcast rights payment to the Cardinals back in December, and now it’s happening: a whole bunch more clubs are returning their local broadcast rights to Major League Baseball, as had happened previously over the last year+ with the Padres, Diamondbacks, Twins, Rockies, Nationals, and Guardians. Up to eight more teams, formerly having their rights at Diamond/Ball...

Shortly after the NLDS came to an end in October, I made sure to throw some flowers in the general direction of Nico Hoerner, who had just wrapped up a career year with the Cubs : “Depending on whether you prefer FanGraphs (4.8 fWAR) or Baseball Reference (6.1 bWAR), Nico Hoerner was either the best or second-best player on the 92-win Chicago Cubs by the crude measure of individual player WAR. But given his performance in the second half of the season (122 wRC+, 2.4 WAR) and in the playoffs (1...

Earlier on Monday, we got word that the Atlanta Braves were one of three teams (alongside the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels) that didn’t decide to follow the Brewers, Cardinals, Rays, Reds and Royals to MLB Media as far as their televised games are concerned. Well, now we know why the Braves didn’t join […]

Well friends, I come bearing good news: this is the last week without baseball for a very, very long time. For the San Francisco Giants, pitchers and catchers will report to Scottsdale next Tuesday, and then we’re off to the races. Speaking of races, we’re nearing the end of this one. We have fewer than […]

Seventh in the series. Today we look at the Cubs’ veteran second baseman. 28-year-old Nico Hoerner, two-time Gold Glover, potential .300 hitter, team leader, is entering the last year of his contract. Odds favor his retention but probably not by much — there are a lot of wheels spinning. Many fans would prefer that Dansby Swanson, subject […]

The Tigers parted ways with long-time minor league coach and manager, Andrew Graham, following the 2025 season. Cappuccilli will take over the Double-A Erie SeaWolves from Graham in 2026. The […]

How do you negotiate a contract with THE star player? Not a star player, not a guy you love having around, but the face of the club and indeed arguably at the time the face of baseball itself? How do you negotiate while at the same time attempting to secure personal control over the sport’s […]

The Nationals figure to have an exciting lineup in 2026, with a combination of proven talent such as James Wood and CJ Abrams, youngsters who have flashed upside such as Daylen Lile and Dylan Crews, and still relatively unknown commodities such as Harry Ford and Brady House. While the lineup will certainly be worth watching […]
