Kiké Hernández nearly had his second half of the season wiped out due to an elbow injury, but he managed to stick around until the very end, adding another incredible postseason highlight to his already impressive resume. Hernández was coming off of another subpar offensive season in 2024, but took over as the primary third […]
Earlier in the season it looked like the Dodgers would smash their own franchise record of 40 pitchers used, set one year prior in 2024. The 2025 team was already at their 27th pitcher by May 18, with 115 games remaining on the schedule. But they only used five new pitchers after the All-Star break, […]
The Carolina Hurricanes will look to bounce back from a sluggish effort in a loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday as they return home to take on the New York Rangers in a Metropolitan Division showdown. With the flu bug going through the locker room and captain Jordan Staal sidelined, the Hurricanes put forth […]
Alex Call began the season with the Washington Nationals before being acquired by the Dodgers at the trade deadline.

The only thing that could change is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be without Baker Mayfield so things could be a little easier for the Arizona Cardinals. That will be something interesting to watch since our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook have the Arizona Cardinals as 2.5-point underdogs on the road this coming week. For the […]
Today was the tender deadline for arbitration eligible players. The San Francisco Giants had decisions to make for three players: RHP JT Brubaker, LHP Joey Lucchesi, and catcher Andrew Knizner. Earlier today, Knizner was designated for assignment to make room for OF Joey Wiemer, and at the deadline the Giants non-tendered Lucchesi and held on […]
No doubt Astros fans were taken by surprise when the news came down Wednesday night that Mauricio Dubon has been traded to the Atlanta Braves for IF Nick Allen. Dubon had become a fan favorite for his ability to play 7 positions, as well his gritty style of all out hustle. Dubon, however, appears to […]
The San Francisco Giants still haven’t finalized their staff, but the pieces are all coming together, and a trend is continuing: they’re hiring a lot of people that new manager Tony Vitello is comfortable with. A few days after news broke that Justin Meccage (who didn’t have a prior relationship with Vitello) was going to […]
