Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
The San Francisco 49ers have an obvious need at pass rush, finishing with a league-low 20 sacks in 2025, showing no ability to get after the quarterback after Nick Bosa suffered his season-ending knee injury in Week 3. There won’t be a shortage of pass rushers on the market, with high-priced, big-ticket players like Maxx […]
The Dodgers take on the San Francisco Giants on Friday in Scottsdale, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto making his second start of the spring, and his last outing before departing to join Team Japan for the World Baseball Classic. Lineup The Dodgers have a split-squad day with two games on Saturday, which means several regulars aren’t making […]
*In an effort to make the nomination voting easier for everyone, I will comment, “NOMINATIONS”, and you may reply to that with your picks and upvote the player you’d like to see on the next nominee list. We’re rolling right along here with our CPL. This round’s winner is shortstop Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, a contact-oriented hitter in […]
The San Francisco 49ers are intent on overhauling their wide receiver room. Still, when General Manager John Lynch spoke to the media at the Scouting Combine press conference, he mentioned EDGE as the other position, which is fair given the lack of pass rush in 2025. Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams will return from injury, […]
The Flyers ended last season with an .879 team save percentage. This was nearly 10 points below the San Jose Sharks — a team who was openly tanking — for the worst team save percentage in the NHL. It’s comfortably the worst mark since the turn of the century, though this year’s Ottawa Senators (.873) are giving it a real run. The front office then came to the logical conclusion that the roster simply can’t be evaluated correctly if they’re spending their time fishing the puck out of their own ...
Morning A’s fans and happy Friday! Ready for a relaxing weekend with some A’s baseball? The front office has been busy in recent months working out long-term extensions with key members of this core. First beginning with Brent Rooker’s 5-year, $60 million contract in January 2025, the team then turned to outfielder Lawrence Butler and […]
The NFLPA survey is out, and the San Francisco 49ers’ grades from players ranked 14th overall among all teams. The Niners fared relatively well across the board, except for the area most wouldn’t expect them to. Here’s a look at each grade: 49ers NFLPA:Treatment of Families: BHome Game Field: A-Dining Area: ANutritionist/Dietician: B+Locker Room: BTraining […]
Commanders links Articles A to Z Sports How Trent Williams impacts the Commanders and Laremy Tunsil There are two possible outcomes for Williams and the 49ers, and both impact Washington differently. Williams will either receive a contract extension with the 49ers that comes at a hefty price or be released and sign a major contract […]
The San Jose Sharks have been poking around the New York Rangers as the March 6 trade deadline nears, and it sounds like their shopping list includes Braden Schneider. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period has connected San Jose to Schneider, which fits a Sharks team trying to build forward without waiting years to fix its blue line, which is definitely their weakest spot. Sharks interest in Braden Schneider is about roster fit Schneider checks a lot of boxes for a team like San Jose: ...
Good morning baseball fans! As we approach the beginning of the season, we’re going to be doing some questions for y’all about your thoughts about the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general! I had to take a couple of days off because Plague-ageddon 2026 finally got me this week. But going back to the […]
New Trent Williams standoff, same story: He owns all the leverage (paywall) “For starters, the 49ers aren’t well-positioned to play take-it-or-leave-it hardball because they’ve neglected a succession plan as Williams has aged. The 49ers haven’t drafted an offensive tackle since they selected since-departed Jaylon Moore in the fifth round in 2021, meaning journeyman Austen Pleasants, 28, […]
For the second straight day, the San Francisco Giants engaged in a Cactus League slugfest. And for the second straight day, the power they provided was surpassed by the power they allowed. This time, it wasn’t quite as close as on Wednesday, as the Giants fell to the Colorado Rockies 11-3. The good was extremely […]
Earlier today, the Colorado Rockies absolutely pounded the San Francisco Giants. [Clears throat: taco’s.] For game highlights, click here. First, here’s manager Warren Schaeffer’s thoughts on the day’s performances: And Jordan Beck — and please appreciate an exceptional throw: Cole Carrigg weighs in on his spring training so far: Here’s Charlie Condon: And finally, Kyle […]
Vibes were high at Hohokam Stadium today. After four straight losses and an off day, the A’s came out of the gate hot, scoring six of their seven runs in the just the first two innings! On the pitching side, Jack Perkins was a standout. His two innings to start the game were perfect. No […]
Hi Fear the Fin family and welcome back from the Olympic break! If you’re like me and a bit disheartened by what you’ve seen on social media, nationally and around the league for the past few days AFTER the men’s hockey team won the gold medal, then take a minute to watch this interview with some of the gold medal winning women before all hell broke loose. It certainly made me fell better. If you’re not there for it, skip forward and we can talk Sharks hockey below. The Sharks are ba...
The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is upon us for the rest of the week, as the top draft prospects will test and interview for NFL teams in hopes of hearing their names called later this offseason. But the combine isn’t only a time where teams meet with prospects. It’s also an opportunity for head coaches […]
With their being no A’s baseball yesterday, my afternoon was spent cranking out all four episodes of FX’s Love Story. Not sure if any of you are tuning in to the dramatized retelling of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s relationship, but I must admit – – not terrible. Definitely not great by any means, but […]
With the NFL Combine underway, we will hear about the different prospects the San Francisco 49ers have met with. We’ll do our best to keep the running list of players the team has met with at this week’s event and at previous All-Star Games. Plus, there is the Pro Bowl circuit in March; the 49ers […]

Statistically, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Renardo Green is on the leaderboard page for completion percentage allowed, yards per target, and finished 11th in pass breakups in 2025. For a second-year player, that’s about as good as you could ask for someone selected at the end of the second round. But something was off this past […]
The Dodgers take a trip east across the desert to face the San Francisco Giants on Friday in Scottsdale, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto making his final start before heading to play for Japan in the World Baseball Classic. Yamamoto threw 30 pitches in his 1 2/3 innings last Saturday against the Angels in the Dodgers’ Cactus […]
When ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted that the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans agreed to a trade on Thursday morning for pass rusher Jermaine Johnson, the first thought was, “I wonder how hard Robert Saleh pushed for Johnson during the 2025 trade deadline.” Sure enough, Connor Hughes, who covers the Jets, tweeted that the San […]
San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch reiterated the organization’s stance on backup quarterback Mac Jones, who will draw interest around the league following his impressive 2025 season. “We’re really happy with what he gives us,” Lynch said, while saying it would take a considerable offer to pry the former New England and Jacksonville quarterback from […]
It is far, far, far too early to make any proclamations about the San Francisco Giants, positive or negative. It’s far, far, far too early to make any proclamations about any of their players, save for things like “Logan Webb is awesome,” and “Jung Hoo Lee is cool” and “Does Christian Koss have a book […]
What we learned from John Lynch at NFL combine: Brandon Aiyuk’s status, Mac Jones’ future (paywall)“So far, there’s been no discussion, though Lynch noted he’s been swamped with competition committee meetings during the day and prospect interviews in the evening. (Lynch was the last official from any team to take the podium Tuesday.) “Really, where […]
