Rays 2026 International Signing Day Open Thread

The time has come again where the Rays, and all MLB teams, spend upwards of $10 million on prospects that we might not have any data on for a decade! It’s exciting and concerning all at the same time, and involve handshake deals years in the making. This year the Rays appear to have done […]

Most teams struggle in the rarified thin air of Laramie, but the Aztecs showed no signs they were oxygen deprived as they […]

Where are they now: Quincy Acy

Knicks fans often proudly claim, “once a Knick, always a Knick”, and that mindset makes almost every former player feel like an important part of a family. Now, that family has seemed dysfunctional at times, and has caused fans a lot of disappointment, pain, and frustration. But like a real family, many members of that […]

LIVE: Alex Bregman Introductory Press Conference (UPDATES)

Having officially been signed by the Chicago Cubs to one of the largest contracts in franchise history, Alex Bregman is being introduced today via press conference at Wrigley Field. He’ll get his new number three jersey, some effusive things will be said, and we’ll all have an opportunity to enjoy a huge moment of the type we seem to only rarely get. I also tentatively expect we’ll get some thoughts from the front office, not only on the Alex Bregman signing, but also the Edward Cabrera t...

Flyers recall Aleksei Kolosov with Dan Vladar out injured

A nightmare has struck the city of Philadelphia. During the Flyers’ big and embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday night, goaltender Dan Vladar suffered an injury and had to be pulled after the first period. While the Flyers confirmed the swap to put Sam Ersson in was due to injury (and not for allowing two goals on five shots in 20 minutes), the true confirmation that Vladar is going to at least miss Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins came the morning after. Accor...

Lakers have found their fifth starter

Down two at home with just over seven minutes remaining against Memphis — a game the Lakers can’t afford to lose — LeBron James comes off a high ball screen and whips his patented skip pass to the weak side corner.  The player usually in that position is reliable shooter Rui Hachimura.
