Chicago Cubs news and notes — Andujar, Gallen, Hoerner, Shaw
The Cubs Convention is over, and it’s back to the real world for us. The quartet above have had the most mentions in the trade/FA marketplace and that’s where most of the attention is being paid right now. I don’t think the Cubs are dealing either infielder and I don’t see them picking up Zac […]

Thursday Flakes: Nebraska Basketball Splits, MLB Free Agency and More
I’ve had a ton of fun so far this season covering Men’s Nebrasketball. I said at the beginning of the season that they would finish 19-12, going 9-11 in the Big Ten. I’ve successfully hit the number of wins, but I’m nowhere close to the overall record or conference record. If you would have told […]

BYB 2026 Tigers prospect reports #41: RHP Yosber Sanchez
Heading into the 2025 season, right-handed reliever Yosber Sanchez was a hard-throwing relief prospect on the rise. There were even hopes that he might be ready to pitch in the Detroit Tigers bullpen by the second half of the season. Unfortunately, he too dealt with injuries and struggled some in making the jump from High-A […]

In retaining Cody Bellinger, the Yankees get exactly what we say they need
Our long national night-meh is over, folks. Cody Bellinger is back in pinstripes, inking a five-year, $162.5 million contract to shore up the lineup behind Aaron Judge, and hedge some of the very real downside risk the club holds while rostering Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells, and Jasson Domínguez. It’s the resolution to a very long […]

Goodman poised to break a bad Rockies trend in 2026
A bad trend has been cropping up among Rockies All-Stars in recent seasons. Since perennial All-Star Nolan Arenado, who earned selections 2015-19, was traded, every Rockie All-Star has performed worse in the season following their All-Star selection. There wasn’t an All-Star Game in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, and Arenado was traded to St. Louis in […]

Raniel Rodriguez is your #3 St. Louis Cardinals Prospect
I don’t think I quite realized how defined the top 3 in the Cardinals system would be. It makes sense, after the votes had been tallied, and I definitely knew that JJ Wetherholt was the favorite for #1 and Liam Doyle the favorite for #2. I didn’t even think about who #3 would be, but […]

Good morning, baseball fans! Yesterday, it was announced that the San Francisco Giants will have yet another former player inducted into the Hall of Fame this season.

Today in White Sox History: January 22
1960 The White Sox introduced the first Major League Baseball jersey that had a player’s name on the back. It was the brainchild of owner Bill Veeck. At first the name was only on the road jersey, but starting in 1961 names were also on the backs of the home jerseys. The White Sox then removed the […]

Jared Jones on track for early 2026 return for Pirates
There’s no doubting that one of the main strengths of the Pittsburgh Pirates is their starting pitching. It looks like that unit will be even stronger this season with the impending return of Jared Jones. In 2024, Jones went 6-8 with a 4.19 ERA, 1.192 WHIP and 132 strikeouts in 121 innings and looked one […]

Thursday Morning Fly By: No strings
*You might’ve thought the Flyers were out of whatever funk they’ve been stuck in but one win does not a turnaround make. And last night they could not make it two in a row. RECAP ! *Travis Konecny, much like all of us, was tired of losing when he hit the ice in Las Vegas Monday night.
