The Miami Dolphins should strongly consider adding an overlooked defender in free agency.
Chris Ballard had one simple decision to make this week: use the tag on the right player. Instead, he protected the wrong one. The Colts placed the transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones while leaving wide receiver Alec Pierce unprotected heading into free agency. The transition tag allows Indianapolis to match any offer Jones receives, […]
MLB.com’s Anne Rogers reports on the Kansas City Royals officially adding outfielder Starling Marte to the roster and what his goals are in 2026. “[Marte] is a longtime proven right-handed bat in the big leagues,” manager Matt Quatraro said. “He’s had pretty neutral splits over the years. Obviously, his leadership, the teammate that he brings […]
Last week, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s JR Radcliffe caught up with Baseball Prospectus’ Jonathan Judge to discuss the recent PECOTA projections. Those rankings, which I covered here, somewhat notoriously projected the Brewers for just 80.5 wins (it has since been inched up to 81.1), and Radcliffe wanted to give Judge a chance to explain in […]
Brad Holmes and the Lions’ pro personnel staff knocked it out of the park with their defensive depth signings last offseason, bringing in Roy Lopez, Avonte Maddox, Rock Ya-Sin, and re-signing Al-Quadin Muhammad. All of them were forced into meaningful roles as the defense battled injuries and inconsistency. Lopez, in particular, had a career year. […]
The Tigers fearsome pass rush was the engine of its excellent 2025 defense. Now it is one of the biggest question marks heading into 2026. The Tigers are replacing two future NFL draft picks off the edge, a daunting task for any program. Elite [ass rushing production does not simply roll over from one season […]
Mike Elias made a couple of unexpected trades this offseason. One was the trade for Shane Baz, a 26-year-old starting pitcher who has shown promise but mixed results in his Major League career. The Orioles sent three young prospects, including two first-round picks, to the Rays in exchange for Baz. The Rays also received a […]
One of the biggest problems for the 2025 Colorado Rockies was hitting the fastball. It was such a problem that I wrote a piece in early May — which included a photo edit I’m rather proud of — highlighting the issue for the team after just a month into the season. That was when the […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves still well in the hunt for home court advantage in the playoffs. How did they get there? Their seesaw effort certainly had to do with it. The front office tinkering with some marginal moves had an effect. We asked, and 50 of you responded with who you thought contributed the most. It’s […]
Football players (and coaches) are people, too! They spend their lives among us, shopping at the grocery store, getting their tires serviced, and going to their kids’ soccer games. We only see most under helmets, making them hard to recognize in public, when they aren’t wearing a jersey with their name on it. You may […]
After placing second last year at its conference tournament, Nebraska is seeded to succeed this weekend at Big Tens. Nebraska is heading to State College, Pa. this weekend to compete in the Big Ten Championships where it has six wrestlers seeded in the top 3. The Huskers have two top seeds in Antrell Taylor and […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Over the weekend, I asked the McCovey Chronicles community to weigh in and give some shout outs to their fellow community members. You all absolutely delivered en masse, and I’d like to share some of the responses here. There was no way I could include everything from the thread, as we […]
The 2026 NFL Combine has come to a close, with some players seeing a rise to their draft stocks after getting a chance to impress NFL coaches and scouts in on-field drills, athletic tests, and interviews throughout the week. With those performances fresh in our minds, let’s take a guess at what round one will […]
As the calendar flips to March, the margin for error has officially evaporated for teams clinging to the NCAA Tournament’s ever-shrinking bubble. While the heavyweights at the top like Duke, UConn, Arizona, Michigan, and possibly Florida have largely turned the race for No. 1 seeds into a private invitational, the real drama is unfolding in […]
Matt Bryant crushed Younghoe Koo in the competition for best Falcons kicker of the past quarter century—obviously—and Matt Bosher handily won the punter gig. Now it’s time to close out our specialists voting—no, we are not litigating long snapper and Josh Harris’s role there—with returner. Honorable mentions go to Devin Hester—an all-time returner, but one […]

The ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC conference tournaments all tip off on Wednesday. With recent conference expansion, these tournaments have become even more massive, with tournaments completing two rounds before most top teams even take the court. Those logistics, in combination with the top-heavy character of most conferences, can result in the early […]
Saints add Clapp as offensive assistant An obvious move after Clapp retired. Saints Must Pounce After Bengals’ Trey Hendrickson Decision It would be an interesting idea for the Saints, but is it too little too late for the reunion? Jeremiyah Love thinks the Saints can use him like Alvin Kamara. But is he the missing […]
Good morning. There are lots of team WBC previews on MLB dot com. I put several of them here, but if your favorite country isn’t mentioned, check out the official World Baseball Classic page and see if a preview is there.
A year ago, young right-hander Rayner Castillo was one of the fastest rising players in the system. In 2025, he spun his wheels at the High-A level, suffering from some uncharacteristic wildness and more erratic velocity. He continued to rack up ground balls, but the contact got louder and the whiffs dried up a bit. […]

A very scary scene on Tuesday night as Nashville Predators forward Ryan O'Reilly had to leave the game after being cut near his eye. The Predators were playing the Columbus Blue Jackets Tuesday night and O'Reilly was struck near his left eye with a stick, very close to be severely harmful. The Preds forward was hit with Charlie Coyle's errant stick off a faceoff midway through the third period, and he did not return. "For those who are concerned about Ryan O'Reilly, we expect that he is ...
