To finish off the week, we have one of the most lopsided matchups on the MNF docket possibly all season, if you go by the record, that is. It’s a rematch (not really) of two previous Super Bowl clashes, both of which ended spectacularly well (the Patriots lost). But we shouldn’t live in the past. […]

MLB RUMORS — It’s December 1 (still one week out from the Winter Meetings), and so far, the 2025-2026 MLB offseason has been pretty active.

While other big-name players like Sonny Gray, Grayson Rodriguez, Brandon Nimmo, and Marcus Semien have been traded. For the Cubs, Shota Imanaga chose to return on the qualif...

We are at the beginning of the free agent spending season and one year away from a collective bargaining fight between management and labor.

How Acquired Jaylen was an undrafted free agent signed by the Braves following the 2025 MLB draft. What Were Expectations? Thanks to his injury history, Jaylen came in without any expectations. He appeared in 15 games for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets where he had a 10.6 K/9 rate, but sometimes struggled with his command […]
October results Well, all streaks must come to an end – even Cal Ripken’s iron man run of consecutive appearances. And the same goes for me remembering to post the confidence poll. I forgot to do so at the start of November, probably being disenchanted with baseball due to the whole “Dodgers winning the World […]
Yes, we’ve already covered the trade rumors about the Royals and Jarren Duran. But one thing that has persistently been raised in the rumor mill since mid-season is that the Red Sox want Cole Ragans to be a part of a deal in which they’d give up Duran. So it makes sense to revisit what […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: This might be the most memorable walkoff home run in Cubs history, at least in modern times. Thus you probably don’t need to be told too much more about it.

He […]
Thinking about the 2026 Braves from a forecasting perspective is a pretty fraught exercise. You could say, “Hasn’t it generally been a fraught exercise?” But, honestly, not really! The 2018 Braves were forecasted to be largely irrelevant. They surprised everyone and pulled off a once-in-a-generation-for-a-franchise turnaround. Did that carry over into 2019? Well, not really […]
