The assumption is that the San Francisco 49ers will swing for a wide receiver this offseason. How big that swing will be might be determined by the market. The 49ers could use a first-round pick on a wide receiver for the second time in three years. After the Chicago Bears just traded DJ Moore to […]
It feels like the Athletics are on the precipice of something great. For all the difficulties the organization has had with its ugly breakup with the city of Oakland and the will-they-won’t-they future in Las Vegas, the actual on-field baseball product looks very promising. There’s a very strong core already established on the position player […]
When you can’t explain something that has consistently been an issue, you grasp at straws—like an electrical substation. Anybody following the San Francisco 49ers can’t pinpoint the root cause of the injuries that were once again a problem in 2025. The annual adjusted games lost article is out. In a surprise to nobody, the 49ers […]
The San Francisco 49ers are in a prime position to upgrade their roster this offseason, having ample cap space and draft capital to make a push in 2026. Now, they will need to get their affairs in order (namely an extension for Trent Williams), but there should be cap space to make several moves in […]
*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. The voting continues and the winner of this round of voting is right-handed reliever Yunior Tur. A 26-year-old out of […]
The legal tampering period begins in five days as free agency in the NFL kicks off. The San Francisco 49ers are in a complete remodel of their wide receiver room. The top three options in 2023 (Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings) could all be in different uniforms, leaving Ricky Pearsall as the de […]
Here we have one really good team (Mariners), one pretty good team (Rangers), a team on the decline (Astros) and a team on the rise (A’s). Oh, yes, and the Angels. Athletics Key departures: JJ Bleday, Osvaldo Bido, Mitch Spence, Max Schuemann Key arrivals: Joey Meneses, Geoff Hartlieb, Wander Suero, Mark Leiter Jr., Jeff McNeil, […]
Hello everyone! The Mariners played a late one last night, dropping the contest to the Giants by a 9-4 final. It’s a bit disappointing that unlike many teams, the Mariners don’t get to play an exhibition against a World Baseball Classic squad. It would have been cool to see some of our own stars playing […]
The San Francisco Giants have had a fairly healthy Spring Training but, like all teams, they’re not 100% healthy. There have been a few players notably absent, but on Wednesday, the team released some injury updates for their ailing players. Most notable were updates to a pair of relievers, lefty Reiver Sanmartin and righty Joel […]
Dueling 49ers mock drafts: Who drafted better? (Paywall)“Barrows: Cashius Howell, edge, Texas A&M: Yeah, yeah, I know — he has short arms. Howell’s levers measured just 30 1/4 inches at the combine, meaning he’d have the stubbiest arms of any Round 1 edge defender this century if the 49ers took him here. His arms weren’t […]
Montreal Canadiens news and notes Don’t be surprised if the Canadiens remain quiet at the trade deadline for the second straight year. [ Montreal Gazette ] “We shot ourselves in the foot too often and it cost us” Martin St. Louis said after the Canadiens 7-5 loss to the San Jose Sharks. [ Sportsnet ] The loss was Jakub Dobeš first in regulation in almost three months. [ Journal de Montreal ] It might be time to shuffle the Canadiens’ top scoring lines. [ Montreal Gazette ...
Much like Monday night’s game, tonight will be another test for the Houston Rockets as they take on a Golden State Warriors team that is decimated by injuries. Houston might have some injuries of their own, too. The Warriors have, of course, had Houston’s number in recent years and have even beaten the Rockets when […]
Third base, the gig for March 27th and beyond, has no shortage of candidates. It’s the A’s handling of the positional battle that is puzzling. To wit: Max Muncy Muncy appears, as best one can tell, to be the front runner and yet his spring training showing (at least on radio where admittedly my eyes […]
The playoff race in the Pacific Division is on. Six teams are battling for three, most likely four, playoff spots with eight points separating Vegas, Anaheim, Edmonton, Seattle, San Jose and Los Angeles. Let’s take a look at how many head-to-head matchups they have, who has the toughest and easiest remaining schedule and more. Here…
The Athletics fell short for the first time this week, suffering a 3-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Following three straight days in which the A’s scored more than five runs, Diamondbacks pitchers shut the A’s offense down today, limiting a lineup full of starters to only one run. A’s starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs pitched […]
Record 7-4. Change on 2025: +1.5. 5-inning record: 3-7-1. The Diamondbacks rolled their spring winning streak to five games, with a well-pitched victory over the Athletics in Hohokam. Their pitchers held the opposition to six hits, just one (a double) for extra bases, and a pair of walks. The sole run came against former (and […]
The San Francisco 49ers lost one of their longtime assistants earlier this offseason when the Seattle Seahawks hired tight ends coach Brian Fleury to be their next offensive coordinator. Fleury was hired by the 49ers in 2019 after working with the Miami Dolphins, initially starting as a defensive quality control coach. He had previous experience […]
After yesterday’s excursion into international waters, normal, Cactus League service resumes this afternoon for the D-backs with a relatively short trip to Hohokam Park. The D-backs come into this game with a four-game winning streak (not including yesterday, obvs), not having lost a regular pre-season game in a week. It’s the offense who has been […]
Following yesterday’s break from Cactus League action to play an exhibition against Team Brazil, the Athletics return to traditional spring training action this afternoon against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Left-hander Jeffrey Springs will be making the start for the A’s today. He is looking for an improved performance this afternoon after giving up for runs in […]
The San Jose Sharks have signed forward Kiefer Sherwood to a new deal, just weeks after trading for the 30-year-old. In a press release from the team this morning, the Sharks announced the Sherwood will stay with the team through the 2029-2030 season. The deal pays Sherwood $5.75 million per season. “We are very excited to have Kiefer remain in San Jose and be part of the group that we are building,” said General Manager Mike Grier after the contract was announced. “The ingredients he bri...
Pending UFA Kiefer Sherwood was a big trade acquisition for the San Jose Sharks back in January. But the team reportedly had some "sticker shock" once they sat down with the player's camp to talk extension. The two sides have now worked all that out, and Sherwood is on board with a new, rich, five-year extension in San Jose. Kiefer Sherwood locks in 5 more years with the Sharks 🦈 🔒 pic.twitter.com/O6znNl1Vsl — Spittin' Chiclets (@spittinchiclets) March 4, 2026 The contract will pay the physica...
The 49ers know how valuable Mac Jones was last season, and all the reports to this point have insisted they do not intend to trade their backup quarterback. San Francisco’s reluctance to part with a player whom they smartly signed to a two-year contract last offseason is understandable, but the reality is that, save for […]
With Buffalo and Boston both posting wins earlier in the day, the Montreal Canadiens visited the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday with a big two points up for grabs. In one of their more frustrating performances in recent memory, they bumbled their way to a three goal deficit in the third period, stormed their way back to tie the game, then took a late penalty that ended up giving the Sharks the game-winning goal. The first two goals scored by San Jose were byproducts of confusion and bad puck ...
The rumor mill is churning after the NFL Combine. We’re under a week away from finding out who the San Francisco 49ers covet in free agency. According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, the Niners are a potential landing spot for free agent wide receiver Mike Evans, who has “a real chance he will take […]
The Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a deal in which the Rams receive cornerback Trent McDuffie, while the Chiefs receive the No. 29 pick in this year’s draft, as well as the Rams’ fifth- and sixth-round picks. Additionally, the Chiefs sent a 2027 third-round pick to the Rams. McDuffie […]
