Latest blog entries from Phoenix teams across every league
The Arizona Cardinals went into the offseason with lots of needs. Funny how that happens after losing 14 games. Certain players were not re-signed and allowed to test the free agency waters. So, GM Monti Ossenfort went to work. His goal was to find capable athletes to replace the players who didn’t get it done. […]
After a disastrous year last season, the Phoenix Suns were quick to recalibrate their roster in the summer. Moving off aging and injured stars in Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, bringing in a combination of tough veterans and youthful legs, and the influence of rookie head coach Jordan Ott have all done wonders for a […]
With the Major League spring camps winding down, the Minor Leagues will take over the training complexes for their respective teams. To begin that transition, MLB is hosting the third annual Spring Breakout Series in the spring facilities of all 30 MLB clubs. There will be eight games in both the Cactus League and Grapefruit […]
Record: 12-12-1. Change on 2025: -1. 5-inning Record: 8-15-2. Arizona stretched their unbeaten streak to five games with an emphatic victory over the Cubs at Salt River Fields. It looked unlikely, considering the D-backs were 5-1 down in the middle of the third. But scoring fifteen unanswered runs is never a bad thing. A six-run […]
Wednesday was a very hot afternoon in the Phoenix area. The temperature reached 101 degrees, breaking the record for the month: “Hot” also described the Cubs bats, at least early in the game. The D-backs came back, though, hitting Edward Cabrera hard, and won the game 16-8. The D-backs scored first, off Cabrera in the […]

According to NFL Network, the Detroit Lions are signing former Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch to a one-year deal. Dortch was a very common projected free agent target for the Lions as a natural replacement for Kalif Raymond, who signed with the Chicago Bears this offseason after five seasons in Detroit. Dortch not only has […]
According to ESPN’s Stephen Holder, the Indianapolis Colts have made two more free agent signings, inking former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Arizona Cardinals linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither to new deals: Regarding Westbrook-Ikhine, the former undrafted free agent out of IU initially began his career as a member of the Tennessee Titans (2020-24), but […]
Go get ‘em, Edward.
After last night’s dramatic World Baseball Classic final, Eduardo Rodriguez will be returning to Salt River Fields in triumph, having started the game for the winners, and pitched a gem against a stacked American line-up. With all respect to the Cubs, this afternoon is going to be something of a let-down in comparison. But, cheer […]
The Arizona Cardinals made one signing official in bringing on return man Devin Duvernay, while also signing a tight end Teagan Quitoriano to a one-year contract. From the team: Duvernay (5-11, 202) is a two-time Pro Bowler (2021-22) and first team All-Pro selection (2021) as a returner. He has played 89 career games (25 starts) and […]

Diamondbacks News Eduardo Rodriguez Leads Venezuela over Team USAEduardo Rodriguez turned in just the sort of performance Arizona was hoping to see out of him regularly when they signed him after the 2023 season. Evaluating Rodriguez’s NightIn anything other than a championship game like last night, Rodriguez probably goes another inning or two at least. […]

NFL mock draft 1.0: Who will the Chicago Bears select with the No. 25 pick? Biggs. Tribune paywall. Should the Bears Consider Trading for Dolphins Running Back De’Von Achane? […]
They made you sweat a little bit for it, didn’t they? The Phoenix Suns came into Target Center on the tail end of a back-to-back, playing in Boston and losing to the Celtics the night before. Making things more intriguing was the Minnesota Timberwolves’ relation in the standings to Phoenix. Separated by just two games, […]
There’s no Diamondbacks game today, but we do of course have the final of the World Baseball Championship, which sees the USA take on Venezuela. One of these teams was not expected to make the final. Before the tournament, but after the rosters were finalized, the USA was even odds to win it all while […]
Inspiration. “We’ve got to start honing in on the pitching side of things, and we’re wanting to see guys commanding the baseball, commanding their secondary stuff, attacking the zone, filling up the zone.” — Torey Lovullo, 7 March To the extent that Torey Lovullo’s comment reflects Diamondbacks’ pitching that is less than what it’s got to […]
I love when opposing fans give credit to our players, especially White and Pritchard. I love the description of the Celtics as a gym rat lunch pail lineup. It's funny that everyone thinks the Celtics get so much help from the refs but the Celtics are last in the league in free throws attempted. Suns fans can't quite decide whether they like Booker or not. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? Neemias was awsome last game on paper he is ...

The Celtics and the Suns met last night, and beyond the game itself, it was a good snapshot of how both teams have evolved over the past year. Not long ago, neither team was particularly effective on the offensive glass. Boston finished 18th in offensive rebound rate last season, Phoenix 26th. This year, both are […]
Diamondbacks News Eduardo Rodriguez pegged to pitch for Venezuela against USA in World Baseball Classic final by Alex Weiner [Arizona Sports] The last Arizona Diamondbacks player left standing in the World Baseball Classic will be in the spotlight during the championship game, as Eduardo Rodriguez will start on the mound for Venezuela against the United […]
#1 – Call your team, the Jay’s are back Slowly but surely, the synergy between Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum is coming back. There hasn’t been a big highlight with an alley-oop yet, but some plays are showing that they can both be so impactful together. This pick-and-roll manipulation from Tatum with Luka Garza’s screen […]
The Arizona Cardinals had plenty of holes after the final game of the 2025 season. Through free agency, Monti Ossenfort has been busy signed new guys to fill the positions of the players who have departed, or weren’t asked to return. On Monday, Ossenfort filled a huge need when he inked veteran safety Andrew Wingard […]
Jaylen Brown looked every bit the part of an MVP candidate Monday night at TD Garden. With the crowd chanting “MVP” as he repeatedly marched to the free-throw line, Brown poured in 41 points to lead the Boston Celtics past the Phoenix Suns 120–112 in a back-and-forth affair. Devin Booker answered with 40 of his […]
