Moda Center will be packed with Blazers fans screaming “Beat LA” and Lakers fans decked out in purple and gold tonight as the beat-up Portland Trail Blazers host the battered visiting Los Angeles Lakers.

As the reactions to Ben Johnson’s now-infamous handshake with Matt LaFleur and “F— the Packers” postgame chat made its rounds this week, pundits made sure to let us know that it wasn’t just the Packers who were mad about Johnson’s perceived slight toward LaFleur and his team. It’s the whole crew of Los Angeles Rams […]
Jon Heyman tells us that the Jays offer to Kyle Tucker was $350 million for 10 years. He signed a 4-year, $240 million contract with the Dodgers. So I guess the question is will he be able to find a 6-year, $110 million contract at age 33. I guess it is best to get the […]
Last year, the left fielders for the Los Angeles Dodgers put up a 99 wRC+. That number is actually flattering because Andy Pages managed to do some of his best work (226 wRC+) in his short time away from center field, in 64 plate appearances. Whether Kyle Tucker comes in to play left or we’ll […]
Good morning, LSB. Very little out there in terms of Rangers stuff today but we do have Day 3 of Dodgers hoarding discourse? Ken Rosenthal says there will be calls for a salary cap but that baseball has plenty of other problems to work through as well in order to avoid a work stoppage. And […]

Another interview for […]

It was a heck of a hot stove week, with two pairs of transactions seemingly moving in unison. The Cubs swiped Alex Bregman from the Red Sox, which prompted Boston to pivot to a five-year deal with Ranger Suarez.

Last week, I opened my Bears-Packers How to watch article with this sentence. “Get ready for either one of the greatest Saturday nights of your Chicago Bears fandom or one of the worst.” It was one of the greatest.
