Over the next few months, we’ll rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization, but every top prospects list begins with a top 10 … and a top 10 is what we’ve got. Our top […]
Hockey can be an unforgiving sport. One miscue, a funny bounce, or even just a split-second hesitation, and the puck can end up in the back of your net. The goal is to stay even-keeled enough throughout the game so that you have a chance to win every night, no matter who your opponent is. That’s just what the San Jose Sharks did last night against a defensively difficult and skilled Los Angeles Kings. The Sharks beat the Kings 4-3 in the shootout to claim that extra point. While it wasn’t a pe...
Now we’re past most of the barely-played guys and can finally move on to the major names on the A’s roster this past season. We’ll start at the top of the starting rotation and review staff leader Luis Severino and his first season in the Green & Gold. How was he acquired? Looking to spend […]
San Francisco 49ers fans have long wondered why the team doesn’t invest more in its offensive line. Trent Williams has taken most of the allotted funds with his $82 million contract. Outside of Williams, the 49ers are rotating their left guards Spencer Burford and Ben Bartch, two free agents this offseason making under a combined […]
Sean Newcomb’s first go-around with the A’s was nondescript, similar to his entire career to that point, but after the Red Sox signed him for $1M and decided to move on from him mid-season, the A’s decided to give Newcomb another whirl. And it paid off in spades. How Was He Acquired? On May 27th, […]
The San Francisco 49ers made a big splash this offseason when they hired Robert Saleh to be the team’s defensive coordinator after he was fired from the New York Jets. Saleh had been the Jets head coach since 2021 and had seen ups and downs during his tenure, which was primarily hampered by quarterback play. […]
The San Francisco 49ers are getting ready to take on the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football this week, looking to stack consecutive wins for the first time since Week 3.

Good morning, baseball fans! Since the season ended, the McCovey Chronicles staff have been doing player reviews that go over each member of the San Francisco Giants’ 2025 season. Today, I’m going to continue our community reviews where we ask you all to weigh in on how you feel like each player did this year […]
Who will be Kyle Shanahan’s QB reclamation project next year? 49ers mailbag (paywall)“The 49ers were sniffing around O’Connell before the 2023 draft. He’s still got one more year on his rookie contract, and the Raiders would have to release him for him to be available. But if they did, he’d make sense for San Francisco. […]
The San Jose Sharks play host to the Los Angeles Kings tonight and while Sharks fans are certainly enjoying the Macklin Celebrini show and all the fun that it brings, some goals and points from other players might be nice. With that in mind, Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky is reinserting offensively minded defenseman John Klingberg into the lineup as well as Timothy Liljegren, who also brings some offensive pop. Klingberg, who sat out the last game was candid about his struggles. A candid Joh...
The Red Sox signed free agent right-hander Osvaldo Berrios to a minor league contract on Monday, as was first reported by Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com. It is unclear if the deal includes an invitation to major league spring training. Berrios, who turns 26 later this month, has yet to make his big league debut and … Continue reading "Red Sox sign former Athletics, Cardinals farmhand Osvaldo Berrios to minor league deal"

The San Francisco Giants still haven’t finalized their staff, but the pieces are all coming together, and a trend is continuing: they’re hiring a lot of people that new manager Tony Vitello is comfortable with. A few days after news broke that Justin Meccage (who didn’t have a prior relationship with Vitello) was going to […]
Monday night’s matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers has massive playoff implications. When the schedule was released, very few would believe the Week 12 matchup would have so much on the line, but that is how close the NFC has been in 2025. A victory for the 49ers would increase their playoff […]
The San Francisco 49ers haven’t been favored in a game by more than 3.5 points all season. That’s not a complete surprise, as Mac Jones was the starter for much of the season, and he played multiple games without George Kittle, let alone the slew of other injuries that occurred along the way. Now that […]
Last offseason the A’s were on the lookout for third base help in a big way. After seeing veteran Abraham Toro and rookie Brett Harris struggle all season long and moving on from Toro, the A’s were desperate for even league-average production. They weren’t going to be players for the top of the market bats […]
Today in our review series we got someone that made it into just ten games for the A’s due to injury. Righty reliever Jose Leclerc barely played for the Athletics this past season and that’s looking like all we’ll see of the former Rangers closer in the Green & Gold. As a bonus for you […]
In 2017, the Carolina Panthers selected Christian McCaffrey with the eighth overall pick. Those from the Bay Area were familiar with McCaffrey’s excellence in college. As a sophomore, McCaffrey ran for over 2000 yards and had over 640 receiving yards, totaling 13 touchdowns. As a junior, in three fewer games, McCaffrey had over 1,600 rushing […]

One of the biggest narratives we’ve had with the 49ers has been usage. Either players don’t like how they are used, or they feel they should be used more. Yes, this usually has something to do with money, but it all revolves around usage. 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. is not one of those […]
49ers vs. Cardinals: The Standard’s 5 fast predictions (paywall)“Kawakami: 49ers 27, Cardinals 21. If Purdy plays, he’ll probably be a little rusty, so it might be a stretch to predict the 49ers’ second trip beyond 26 points this season. But he’ll move the ball. And I’ll keep riding the pattern — the 49ers have alternated […]
The San Antonio Spurs failed to redeem themselves for Wednesday’s home loss to the Warriors, losing again to the same outfit on Friday in Emirates Cup play. Incessant turnovers and inability to get the half-court offense flowing doomed them. Mitch Johnson was forced to call the first stoppage as the Warriors scored eight of their […]
