The Yankees offense keeps finding new lows to achieve. They’ve managed one or fewer hits through seven innings in back-to-back games, have lost five straight, and mustered just 12 hits across their last four games, which is the fewest hits over a four-game span in franchise history. Yes, three of their best hitters are out […]
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka wanted to refresh his blueline heading into next season, and needless to say, early on in his tenure, he’s done exactly that.

When the Toronto Maple Leafs let go of Zach Hyman following the 2020-21 season, they had a gaping hole to fill on the top line.

DHJ Quick Take: Raptors Favored for Kawhi Leonard, Mavericks Unlikely The Toronto Raptors are viewed as the favorite to land Kawhi Leonard, while the Dallas Mavericks are considered unlikely amid league skepticism that he would sign an extension in Dallas, a reunion that would have paired him again with Masai Ujiri.

It's becoming apparently obvious that the people who run the conferences and the Canadian university hockey league simply don't care about taking easy wins. Some may point to the fact that university hockey in Canada has been over for a while and that school is out for the summer, but you'd think there would be someone at the wheel guiding the good ship U SPORTS and its conferences and member schools forward. I say this because the man pictured above in Joel Ward was named the head coach of th...

Mets 1 Blue Jays 2 It was great to see Bo Bichette back in Toronto. He seemed touched by the ovation the fans gave him. After seeing the Jays down a bunch of runs early in the last several games, the great start from Trey Yesavage was very nice to see. He went 6.2 innings, […]

The Raptors have declined their 2026/27 team option on forward/center Jonathan Mogbo, per Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca (Twitter link). Mogbo’s third-year option was worth $2,296,271. The Raptors could technically tender him a qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent, but we haven’t seen any reports indicating that happened. It also wouldn’t make much […]

The start of another series, and all I’m thinking is ‘don’t be swept’. That stuff about Addison Barger being back soon? Not so much. He has a ‘stress reaction in his back’. I guess that means stress fracture, but he’ll be shut down for two more weeks. So let’s hope that he might be back […]
