This will be Zack Gelof’s fourth season in an A’s uniform. Isn’t that crazy? I think it is. Probably the craziest most interesting thing about his career up to this point (not counting the dynamic 70 game rookie campaign of course). Now according to Gelof himself in an interview with Foul Territory, the plan was […]

Receiver is sneakily a major offseason need for the Los Angeles Rams. LA is likely to extend star receiver Puka Nacua this offseason. Davante Adams would be best-utilized in a more niche role. The rest of the team’s depth have not demonstrated they are capable of making important contributions on the NFL’s biggest stages. So […]
We are just over one calendar year from the Miami Heat dealing Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors in a five-team blockbuster.

In his recent mock, Barrows did a rundown of the 49ers’ seven selections in the draft. He didn’t just stop with the first or second […]
Last July, the Washington Nationals made Eli Willits the youngest first overall pick ever. With more famous prospects like Ethan Holiday and LSU ace Kade Anderson available, it was a bit of a risky pick. However, after a strong pro debut, Willits’ stock is higher than it was on draft day. Despite ranking behind Holiday […]

The 2026 offseason is upon us and San Francisco 49ers mock drafts are in full swing.

Last July, the A’s made one of the biggest trades of the trade deadline, sending flamethrowing closer Mason Miller to the San Diego Padres in exchange for elite shortstop prospect Leo De Vries and three minor-league pitchers. After trading Miller, one of the best closers in the league, many people expected the A’s bullpen to […]
The San Francisco 49ers have a big offseason ahead of them, as they’ll have money to spend in free agency and don’t have too many major pending free agents, unlike last offseason. When it comes to needs for the 49ers, you can make an argument to add at several positions. But some of the more […]
Just as we all thought that the San Francisco Giants were done signing Major League contracts, they went and signed another.
