State of the Yankees’ System: Starting Pitching
The state of pitching in modern baseball is volatile. In many cases, occupying a roster spot requires a pitcher to do things on the field that the human body simply isn’t made to do, over and over again. Every organization is full of injured pitchers, past and current Tommy John recipients, and guys in the […]
Meet new Red Sox infielder Caleb Durbin
Who is he and where did he come from? Caleb Durbin is an infielder who played college baseball at D-3 Washington University (in St. Louis) and was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 14th round of the 2021 draft. He was traded from Atlanta to the Yankees after the 2022 season for Lucas Luetge, […]

Devils Awkwardly Edited Quinn Hughes Out Of Olympic Picture
That's Wild Teams around the NHL are posting pictures and videos of their star players all taking part in practices as they get ready for the Olympic action to start Wednesday. Because, what else would they do during this break? But the New Jersey Devils took it a step further. As we all k...
Who is the Yankees’ most dangerous rival?
Year after year, the Yankees contend with the AL East, the division that consistently outstrips its peers across the sport. This offseason was no different; while there were a number of teams across the league that put the “off” in offseason, none of them were in the AL East, as all five clubs have been […]
Islanders Memories: Loudest moments at the Coliseum
Was Nassau Coliseum even louder during some 2000s Resurrection Moments than it was during the dynasty’s greatest moments? We’ll never know for sure, but a couple threads on Twitter elicited “loudest I ever heard that building” sentiments, though the Cup heyday and these other moments are a generation or two apart. There was a release, […]
Yankees news: George Lombard Jr. tops Keith Law’s top Yankees prospects
The Athletic | Keith Law ($): Several publications have George Lombard Jr. as the Yankees’ top-ranked prospect and Keith Law agrees in his 2026 installation of the Yankees’ top prospect rankings. The 21-year-old shortstop was ranked at second last year and 98th overall, and moves to the front of the queue with Jasson Domínguez’s graduation […]
Nets get another win, career-nights from Nic Claxton, Nolan Traore, beat Bulls 123-115
Brooklyn’s penultimate game before the All-Star break sure felt like the kind of thing you’d sneak in at work before going on vacation. With the Chicago Bulls in town, a group that’s been mediocre so long it might as well be a sponsor for the Play-In tournament, and the lottery-bound Nets playing host, the contest […]

Browns Todd Monken adds Giants assistant coach to interview list for new DC
Much like the Cleveland Browns did with their head coach position and much like new HC Todd Monken noted in his introductory press conference, the search for Jim Schwartz’s replacement as defensive coordinator looks to be an extensive one. So far, three of the five candidates that we suggested for the DC job have spoken […]
Yankees acquire infielder Max Schuemann from Athletics
While we’re nearing the start of spring training, the hot stove season is still on. On Monday afternoon, the Yankees made a move, although this one can probably be described as reheating something in the microwave more than turning on the stove. Earlier today, the Yankees picked up infielder Max Schuemann from the Athletics, sending […]
Meet the Sellers: Vincent Trocheck is the New York Rangers’ best trade chip after dealing Artemi Panarin
The New York Rangers have already made two notable trades. Shortly before the roster freeze on Wednesday, they sent the best winger, Artemi Panarin, to the Los Angeles Kings. Before that, Carson Soucy was traded to their geographical rivals, the New York Islanders. Still, the New York Rangers could make a few more moves before…
Cavs Roundtable: First impressions of the James Harden Era
The Fear the Sword staff has had some time to digest the James Harden for Darius Garland trade, as well as see what Harden looks like in wine and gold. That makes it a perfect time to answer five questions about the trade and what it means for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. What are […]

50 Most Notable Yankees Free Agent Signings in 50 Years: Masahiro Tanaka
The Yankees’ forays into the Japanese market have produced some mixed results. The signing of Hideki Matsui was an absolute success, as he was a very good player for the Yankees for many years, and capped it off by winning World Series MVP in 2009. On the other hand, the acquisitions of pitchers Hideki Irabu […]
Chargers hiring former MIA, NYG HC Adam Gase as offensive assistant
The Chargers are bringing in a familiar face to NFL fans they may not have seen for quite some time. After half a decade away from coaching, former Dolphins and Jets head coach Adam Gase is joining the Chargers staff as an offensive assistant who will be working with their pass game. The news was […]
Mets announce 29 non-roster invitees to spring training
The Mets announced their full slate of invitees not on the 40-man roster ahead of this Wednesday’s pitchers and catchers reporting date. Among the more interesting names are top prospects Carson Benge, Ryan Clifford, A.J. Ewing and Jack Wenninger. Veterans Craig Kimbrel, Austin Barnes, and Carl Edwards Jr. are among the players hoping to extend […]
Comments from the Other Side - Knicks 2/8/26
I was contemplating not posting these today but figured I might as well since I already spent the time to gather them. Knicks fans are among the worst. The Celtics missed so many open 3's. 7 of 41.is terrible and if the Celtics shot their normal percentage, they would have won. With Sam Hauser out and no one on the team able to hit a 3 while bombing away from the outside, they didn't have a chance and with their shots not falling, they also struggled on defense.&n...
Editor-in-chief mailbag: How are you feeling, Sixers fans?
It’s been a weird week. An underwhelming trade deadline overlapped with what’s already been a successful West Coast swing. The Sixers are 3-1 — and could very easily be 4-0 — during this slate as they take on the Portland Trail Blazers Monday night. They’ll return home to play the red-hot New York Knicks Wednesday […]
Nets vs. Bulls preview: Monday night hoops
The Brooklyn Nets were no match for the mighty Washington Wizards tank as the Wiz didn’t bother put an effort together on Saturday afternoon. As a result, they cruised to an easy win. It snapped a three game losing streak. The opponent tonight is looking to figure things out. The Chicago Bulls are hanging around […]
EJ Liddell, Nate Williams combine for 43 in front of 6,720 Canadian fans
Playing basketball on Super Bowl Sunday anywhere in the United States would be attendance death but in French-speaking Canada, it makes no difference. The Canadian Football League plays its big game, the Grey Club, in late November. (The Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Montreal Alouettes, 25-17, ICYMI.) So the Long Island Nets did well on Sunday […]
Top 25 Mets Prospects for 2026: Writer’s Thoughts (25-11)
Boston Baro (25) Steve says: Boston Baro had a solid 2024, establishing himself as a player to keep an eye on, but his progress and development took a backslide in 2025. He still has youth on his side but is currently being fueled more by how he has room to improve rather than how he […]
