Braves Franchise History 1923 – The Boston Braves acquire outfielders Casey Stengel and Bill Cunningham as well as shortstop Dave Bancroft from the New York Giants in exchange for pitchers Joe Oeschger and Bill Southworth. 2015 – The Braves trade shortstop Andrelton Simmons and catcher Jose Briceno to the Angels in exchange for shortstop Erick […]
The Atlanta Falcons have a bunch of problems right now. At least one of them can’t be fixed in the moment—the run defense is only going to improve when Divine Deablo, LaCale London, and Sam Roberts are back, and then only modestly—but their offense feels like it can be salvaged. What does that salvage job […]
MLB.com’s Anne Rogers had more from Kansas City Royals general manager J.J. Picollo on the addition of Connor Dawson and Marcus Thames, but specifically how they mesh with the returning organization. “[Zumwalt] has good knowledge of the swing, bio mechanics, people skills [and] game-planning. All the things you want people to be able to do, […]
Free agency is officially open and this winter features a deep crop of quality if not-quite-ace tier starting pitchers. You’ve got ground ball savant Framber Valdez, strikeout artist Dylan Cease, and soft contact extraordinaire Ranger Suárez headlining the class. There’s decent depth behind that trio including future Hall of Famers Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, […]

being born in 1975, I am quite used to RBI, batting average, home runs, and of course, the stolen base since I lived through the 80’s as a child. Being a fan of the stolen base as a Cardinals fan in the 1980’s goes without question. But it became less and less important and even […]
They may not make many headlines, but college basketball runs on mid-major teams, meaning those teams that belong to conferences outside the Power Four of the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC. Come March, we’ll be banking on them to provide us with some high-entertainment upsets, so it’s only right to take a look […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs are having a roller coaster of a start to the season, and Tuesday night in Boston, it went from bad to worse. During the first period in a scrum in front, goaltender Anthony Stolarz was injured. He'd then leave the game in the first intermission, as Dennis Hildeby came out to start the second period. It's an upper body injury for Stolarz, but for now, it doesn't sound very serious. "I don’t believe that’s serious. I think he’ll be fine," Berube said when asked abo...
Sunday was a lot of fun. After weeks and weeks of consternation that the Detroit Lions’ offense had taken the step back that many had predicted this year, the team went out and laid 44 points on the Washington Commanders.

Hot oil and water. Toothpaste and orange juice. The Carolina Panthers and winning a football game as the betting favorite. In other words, a list of things that do not mix well together. It has been over 4 years since the Panthers have gone into a football game as the betting favorite and left the […]
Can the Edmonton Oilers swing a Juuse Saros trade, and what would it actually take to make it work. A top tier starter like Saros would stabilize a team that has wobbled through another uneven fall. It's also complicated. The Nashville Predators are not rebuilding, Saros carries a hefty cap hit, and any move likely requires the player’s approval. That puts pressure on the Oilers to present the kind of offer that solves the money and the assets in return in one shot. What an Oiler...

The Tennessee Titans remain in the incredibly early stages of their head coaching search. General manager Mike Borgonzi confirmed as much during last week’s post-trade deadline press conference.

Georgia Tech’s first 3 games are in the books and GT is 3-0.
