Rapoport: Trent Williams not expected to play vs. Seahawks

The San Francisco 49ers have their biggest game of the season coming up, as they’re fighting for the No. 1 seed against the Seattle Seahawks in primetime on Saturday Night at Levi’s Stadium. Heading into the week, the 49ers had a couple of players dealing with injuries. Cornerback Renardo Green had missed last week’s game […]

Pre-Snap Reads 1/3: Seahawks vs. 49ers! Today!

In Today’s Links: (mostly) everything that a Seattle Seahawks fan could possibly need to prepare for tonight’s big, huge, fantastical NFC West Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers down in Santa Clara, CA. Dive into the links, lather yourself in the knowledge, analysis, punditry, and predilections, and come out the other end feeling shiny. […]

Weekend BP: What move comes next?

Yesterday, I wrote about how I thought the San Francisco Giants were done signing starting pitchers. After adding Tyler Mahle and Adrian Houser on one and two-year deals, respectively, the Giants now have five established starters, as that duo joins incumbents Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, and Landen Roupp. Not everyone agrees with that assessment. Some […]

Golden Nuggets: GAME DAY 

49ers vs. Seahawks: The Standard’s 5 fast predictions (paywall)“Kawakami: 49ers 23, Seahawks 20. In contrast to the 49ers’ last few games, field position and field goals should be enormous in this game. Nobody’s likely to put up 400 yards. There won’t be 10 huge plays; maybe just two or three. And presuming George Kittle is back, […]

Today in White Sox History: January 3

1914 Sydney Cricket Ground was the scene of today’s World Tour game, as the White Sox beat the Giants, 5-4. Some 10,000 fans attended. It would be 100 years before the majors returned to Australia, when the Dodgers and Diamondbacks opened the 2014 season at the Ground. 1936 Future White Sox co-owner Eddie Einhorn was […]

Charles Cross expected back for Seahawks’ first playoff game

The Seattle Seahawks will not have starting left tackle Charles Cross for Saturday’s Week 18 NFC West and No. 1 seed title decider against the San Francisco 49ers, marking his third consecutive missed game due to a hamstring injury. Luckily, whether the Seahawks gets a first-round bye or not, it looks as if his return […]

Today In NHL History - Joe Thornton Taunts Sedin

On December 28th in 2011, San Jose Sharks captain Joe Thornton thrice planted his finger firmly into the face of Vancouver Canucks forward Henrik Sedin whilst pleading his club's case before referee Gord Dwyer. Thornton's taunts, reminiscent of the Burrows/Bergeron Stanley Cup Final finger biting episode and aftermath, were neither penalized nor effective as the Canucks Western Conference Final

Mike Macdonald: Tory Horton won’t be back for postseason

The Seattle Seahawks have a crucial Week 18 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday evening in a winner take all battle that will decide both first place in the NFC West and the top seed in the NFC. In the wake of the Seahawks offense struggling at times and failing to perform at […]

2025 Athletics Season In Review: Joey Estes

Two in one day? Only for you guys! Season In Review sticks with the pitchers but shifts to the starting side of things. Right-hander Joey Estes was once one of the top pitching prospects in the Athletics’ farm system and has shown flashes here and there, but he’s fallen behind in the pecking order behind […]

2025 Athletics Season In Review: Anthony Maldonado

We’re slowly approaching the end of our Season In Review series, which means Spring Training isn’t far away. Right-handed reliever Anthony Maldonado made it back to the big leagues for the second consecutive year but only made it into six games for the Athletics. Now he’s set to pitch for a division rival next year […]

At Least 3 Other Teams Had Interest In Chinakhov Before Penguins Landed Him

The Columbus Blue Jackets took a bit of time to trade Yegor Chinakhov to find the right trade, but there was more interest from teams than just the Pittsburgh Penguins who ended up landing the former first-round pick. Chris Johnston reported, "There were teams around it. Going way back earlier in the season, the Leafs were one of them. I don't know that they were there later on here. San Jose I think had some interest. Winnipeg. A lot of teams were curious." Chinakhov is a 24-year-old drafted ...

Surprise! The Giants have increased their budget

This post could’ve been titled “Reassessing the Giants’ payroll situation for 2026” as a sequel to this post from earlier in the offseason, but it’s less interesting than the truth, which is that, based on what’s publicly known about the team’s expenses, the San Francisco Giants have committed to the largest Baseball Operations budget in […]

Friday BP: Grade the rotation

It would appear that the San Francisco Giants have set their rotation. After agreeing to a one-year New Year’s Eve special with righty Tyler Mahle, the Giants now have five established starting pitchers under contract for 2026. You can quibble with the order if you want, but, assuming health (a big assumption, admittedly), these are […]

Brooklyn Nets blown out by Houston Rockets, lose 120-96

Egor Dëmin and Michael Porter Jr. combined for 12 3-pointers in a loss to the Golden State Warriors, but neither of them were available on New Year’s Day when the Brooklyn Nets were hosting the Houston Rockets. Terance Mann would also miss the contest, leaving the Nets down three starts in their first contest of […]
