The Chicago Cubs have signed left-handed reliever Aaron Bummer to a minor league contract, adding a veteran arm to a bullpen that has been one of the more injury-ravaged units in baseball this season.
Bummer was released by the Atlanta Braves on May 19 after posting a 7.63 ERA and an 8.62 FIP across 19 appearances and 15.1 innings, with a walk-to-strikeout ratio of 10 to 13 that showed a pitcher who could not consistently miss bats or locate his fastball.
He is expected to report to Triple...
MLBPA submitted their initial CBA proposal Wednesday, as the owners are expected to make their initial proposal Thursday. The union proposal includes some interesting ideas, some increased benefits to players, and at least one clear nonstarter for the owners. The owners positioned themselves as advocating for fan desire for competitive balance and rejected the proposal, […]
The Red Sox looked like a different team in the best way possible. Boston blanked the Atlanta Braves to even the three-game series by way of the pitching staff’s seventh shutout of the season. The Red Sox held down MLB’s best team and knocked around a starting pitcher riding plenty of momentum. Here’s three takeaways […]
Braves go for another series win in a rematch of pitchers-and-teams-they-faced-two-weekends-ago (but not the same pitching matchup as in any of those games).
The Hawks promoted and extended GM Onsi Saleh, who has earned a pristine reputation from rival teams, who ranked him the second-best executive and tried to hire him.
TV: NESN First Pitch: 6:45 p.m. ET The Red Sox nearly came back from a three-run deficit in the series opener against the Braves. The offense has finally put together a few solid performances as of late, though there haven’t been plenty of wins to show for it. Boston will try to get early run […]
According to The IndyStar’s Joel Erickson, the Indianapolis Colts will hold joint training camp practices with both the New England Patriots (away) and the Atlanta Falcons (home) this upcoming summer in August: The Colts play the Patriots during the preseason opener in New England on Thursday, August 13th, at 7:30 PM EDT, so it’s safe […]
Hey, universe! Let Dominic Smith get some starts! Which means, stop making the Braves face lefty starters! In tonight’s contest, the Braves will be taking aim at a lefty starter for the fourth time in five games. You have to go back to May 4, the start of a streak where the Braves faced four […]
The Falcons hit the practice fields again for organized team activities (OTAs) on Wednesday, and there was plenty worth remarking on. Here’s a roundup of the most noteworthy (and just fun) items from reporters on the ground at Flowery Branch. Michael Penix Jr. still throwing, not yet involved in full-team drills Per team reporter and […]
With the Hawks' first long-term extension out of the way, there's no reason to believe Head Coach Quin Snyder's isn't next up.
Atlanta Hawks head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday he feels quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has an "innate, God-given ability" to accurately throw a football.
The quirks of MLB scheduling are, well, quirky. The Braves only play the Red Sox six times over the course of the 2026 regular season, but because those games are 11 days apart, the pitching matchups can feel a bit repetitive. Bryce Elder and Connelly Early didn’t square off against one another two weekends ago […]
Normally this is a series that we update after the draft, and then again upon the end of the season. Well, you have to stay hip to the trends and with several outlets already updating their top 30 lists after a full month of the season, we wanted to make sure we provided you with […]
There are OTAs to talk about and minicamp to look forward to, but otherwise things are relatively quiet on the NFL front. That makes a prime time to talk about improvements that might come, and one of the methods that’s sure to get attention is proposing a trade or two. Hell, I’m writing about one […]
It was disappointing for Atlanta Braves fans to see one of the top prospects from the 2025 draft class go down almost immediately this season. Finally, though, Conor Essenburg brings his power bat back into an exciting Augusta lineup and he started his next stint with an early hit. (28-24) Gwinnett Stripers 4, (31-21) Nashville […]
The Tennessee Titans have done a lot to improve the wide receiver position this offseason. They drafted Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall and signed Wan’Dale Robinson to a $70 million contract in free agency. Elsewhere, they decided to restructure Calvin Ridley’s deal as opposed to releasing him as a cap casualty. Ridley took a […]
Atlanta's CJ McCollum would be a nice addition to the Detroit Pistons.
The Atlanta Braves kept things interesting on Tuesday night but ultimately improved to 37-18 after a 7-6 win over the Boston Red Sox. Spencer Strider got the start, and the win; things started out shaky, but he settled in to give the offense a chance to even things up. His night ended after five innings, […]
The Atlanta Braves take the win against the Boston Red Sox 7-6 at Fenway Park, in an ending that came eerily close; the offensive production woke up when it mattered. After giving up two back-to-back homers in the bottom of the first to Boston’s Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela (2-0), Spencer Strider held the Red […]
On the most beautiful weather night for baseball so far this year at Fenway Park, Ranger Suarez tries to post yet another beautiful pitching line (he’s already held opponents to zero earned runs in five starts this year). Lineup wise, the most interesting detail is Mickey Gasper starting at catcher, and while that’s most likely […]
The Braves are hoping to wake up their offense with Strider on the mound to avoid three-straight losses. And for the Red Sox, well, they’re just hoping they can get over 3.7 runs per game. As always, you know where to find us for the recap. First pitch is set for 6:45 p.m. EDT Lineups […]
This has been a rough year when it comes to notable names in Atlanta Braves history passing away. There was the double blow of losing both Ted Turner and Bobby Cox within the same week and now a former player has passed on. The Braves somberly shared the news that former star Bob Horner has […]
The Red Sox at Fenway Park in 2026 is a very on brand for the year 2026. You walk up Lansdowne Street excited for a game and then they actually start playing. Boston opens the series at 22-30, last place in the AL East, against a Braves team that is 36-18 with among the best […]

Sharife Cooper has had a winding basketball journey, bouncing around China, Turkey, Greece, and France after a year of sparse minutes as a rookie with the 2021-22 Hawks. The Wizards […]
Alright, so here we are, folks. It’s the day after Memorial Day which is usually the moment in the season where I’d say that it’s safe to start taking whatever’s happening in the standings a bit more seriously. We’re over a quarter of the way deep into this campaign and basically the news is nothing […]
