It’s been a long road to get here. It started in a warm September within the Wake Competition Center and Lenovo Center ice, it’s gone through preseason games, 82 regular season games, a three week break for the Olympics that saw each color of medal come back to the area, a quiet trade deadline, injuries, […]
If you are a regular reader of this segment, you have seen this before. The best stats are the stats that can be used for hitting and pitching. Offensive and defensive efficiency is one of those.

Jacob Melton was acquired by the Rays as the centerpiece in the Brandon Lowe trade. He brings a high-impact toolset: fringe 70 power, plus defense across all three outfield spots (including center field), and above-average speed. Through his first 15 games with Triple-A Durham, that hasn’t translated to production. Melton is currently running a 74 […]
Last season, a corner outfielder wearing the jersey no. 23 got off to a rough start in his first year as a Dodgers. This season, a shiny new corner outfielder wearing no. 23 has gotten off to an equally frustrating start. Kyle Tucker was signed to be that impact corner outfielder at the top of […]
Moises Caicedo has signed a new long-term contract with Chelsea until 2033, reaffirming his commitment to the club’s long-term project.
The Colorado Avalanche won 55 regular season games, claimed the Presidents' Trophy, earned home ice throughout the Western Conference playoffs, and finished with 121 points, which was eight clear of the Carolina Hurricanes for the best record in hockey. They did all of that while dealing with a late-season wave of injuries that would have derailed most teams. Now, with Game 1 against the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday, coach Jared Bednar told reporters that he expects his full roster to be ...

Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The Miami Dolphins are stressing just a tad bit less than they were a day ago after De'Von Achane made a statement showing up at their training facility.
Happy Friday, everyone. The Cubs are back home tonight and looking to keep the good times rolling, and with the struggling Mets coming to town, they might just get their wish. In the meantime, we’ll take a look at what’s happening around baseball. The top stories of the continuing trend of teams extending their breakout […]
The introductory press conference for the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft supposed to be a moment of celebration. The conversation is typically about the success that is sure to come, and there’s an excited energy about uncapped potential arriving in the league. That’s not what anyone will remember about Azzi Fudd’s first presser […]
The Kansas City Royals are 7-12 and just lost a heartbreaker to the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon. Despite that, I imagine that there were still plenty of smiles at 1 Royal Way yesterday after the KCMO City Council passed a stadium financing ordinance that could provide up to $600 million for the construction of […]
Coming off their third straight conference series victory, Texas A&M baseball heads to Louisiana this weekend to take on reigning national champion LSU (23-15, 6-9 SEC) in Baton Rouge. The 10th-ranked Aggies (28-7, 9-5) leaned on the freshman in their midweek against Houston. Jorian Wilson and Nico Partida combined to go 5-for-8 with two homers […]
Meet the Mets The Mets mercifully had the day off yesterday, and they’re set to begin a three-game series at Wrigley Field this afternoon as they attempt to snap an alarming eight-game losing streak. The team opened a big new development complex in the Dominican Republic. Will Sammon wrote about the cracks showing in the […]
It still seems too early to engage in small sample size theater on the Cardinals season. If I’m going to do SSS, this is my choice of topic. It seems like pre-Arbitration extensions are all the rage this year. Some people look at these deals as a little on the reckless side. They ask, “How […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are on the road again this weekend, so we’re going to do another temp check. Which is maybe not ideal timing after the week that was, but I feel like they could maybe benefit from the feedback of the fanbase at this point. This team is not […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 7, Durham Bulls (Rays) 2 Norfolk scored the only win on the farm last night. José Barrero led the charge with a pair of home runs and a triple. He finished 3-for-4 with four RBIs and four runs scored. Christian Encarnacion-Strand played the Robin to Barrero’s Batman. Encarnacion-Strand finished 2-for-4 with two […]
Last season, half of the top six tacklers for Arizona came from the linebacker room. Now, only one of those leaders is returning to the field for the Wildcats. Without Max Harris and Riley Wilson, defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales thinks that Taye Brown is ready for a breakout season. “Taye Brown is one of the […]

While there were several surprises on the Opening Day roster for the Rockies in 2026, the biggest — and most disappointing in my opinion — was Tanner Gordon being optioned to Triple-A on March 17. Even though Gordon’s numbers weren’t amazing on the surface in 2025, when he posted an ERA of 6.33 in 15 […]
After some particularly impressive performances against usually-dominant starting pitchers last week, this graphic began making the rounds on social media… A truly remarkable battering of three hurlers who could easily find themselves in AL Cy Young Award consideration by season’s end. Per my usual “this got me wondering about…” thought process, I looked back at […]
The Falcons only have five picks this year, and none before the middle of the second round. That means we’re going to be waiting a while to see who they pick, and we have time to let our thoughts wander to topics like…who they picked the last time they had these selections. As I do […]
