Pittsburgh Pirates Reportedly Signing Lefty Gregory Soto

The Pittsburgh Pirates wasted little time putting some of the Kyle Schwarber savings to use, reportedly signing lefty Gregory Soto to a one-year, $7.75 million deal. The reliever market seems to be picking back up. Soto, 30, has been a below-league-average reliever the last three straight season by the results, but in all three seasons, he’s had well-above-average peripherals. The culprits seem to be uncommonly high BABIPs the last two years and an uncommonly low LOB% the year before, bec...

Revisiting Sidney Crosby’s chase of Mario Lemieux’s point record

Sidney Crosby is up to 1,718 career points, five shy of Mario Lemieux’s Penguin franchise record of 1,723. Lemieux stands eighth all-time in NHL scoring. Putting up 1,723 points for a single team is a franchise record that many thought had a chance to stand indefinitely. Only two players have scored more points for a […]

Steelers Read & React: Playoffs???

“Playoffs? Don’t talk about playoffs. You kidding me?”  Fight the urge to turn into your inner Jim Mora, because we are talking about playoffs.

Kyle Schwarber re-signs with the Phillies

After rumors of the Mets, Pirates, Orioles, and Reds’ interest came and went, Kyle Schwarber re-signed with the Phillies on a five year, $150 million contract.

Pittsburgh Penguins place Evgeni Malkin on IR

The Pittsburgh Penguins are going to be without one of their best players for awhile, as the team announced they've placed Evgeni Malkin on the injured reserve. Malkin is considered week-to-week at this point, due to an upper-body injury. At this point, it's not clear where Malkin suffered the injury, as he missed the Penguins previous contest against the Dallas Stars on Sunday, and now finds himself on the IR. Malkin has enjoyed quite the comeback season in Pittsburgh this season, and is forc...
