Bill Guerin recen...
As if there was any doubt, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner will start the first game of the year.

The NBA tanking problem is an utter disaster, and the Brooklyn Nets are a symptom of the broken system. The Nets on Wednesday night lost 121-92 to the Oklahoma City Thunder, by no surprise. That’s not being disrespectful towards the Nets either, it’s just common knowledge that their strategy is completely opposite from OKCs. One […]
That headline is a lie, it isn’t the Yankees, it is wannabe Yankees. They have a split squad day and all the ‘real’ Yankees are staying in Tampa. I can’t really complain, the Jays do the same. There used to be, maybe still is, a rule that a certain number of ‘regulars’ have to be […]

In the 2024 edition of the Baseball Prospectus annual, Francisco Lindor was referred to as “the steady centerpiece of a historically chaotic franchise.” As the calendar inches closer to Opening Day two years later, that is perhaps even more true now than it was then. This offseason saw the departure of Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, […]
It’s just the nature of life that some people end up passing away at way too young an age. As we do our Yankees’ Birthdays series, we’re unfortunately going to come across some of them here too. While the name Fritz Brickell might not mean as much to you as some other tragic Yankee deaths, […]
