1920 As a response to the Black Sox scandal that saw members of the White Sox throw the World Series in 1919, baseball owners unanimously elected Kenesaw Mountain Landis as the first baseball commissioner. Landis, a White Sox fan, took the job while insisting that he be given final authority over the players and owners. […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Early November tends to be the biggest lull on the MLB calendar, as folks are […]
This week, the Green Bay Packers’ game will have another relatively limited broadcast footprint across the United States. The Packers travel to play the New York Giants in Sunday’s early time slot, with the game to be broadcast on FOX. However, with CBS having the afternoon doubleheader, FOX has the rights to only broadcast a […]
In 2025, center field was a major weakness for the Detroit Tigers. That wasn’t supposed to be the case; Parker Meadows finally had his breakout in 2024, Matt Vierling looked like a solid complementary piece who could bounce to multiple positions, and even Wenceel Perez had a solid enough season to pencil him in as […]
Free agent projections are out, and so it is that time again — time for the annual “should the Rangers sign This Player” polls. Today, we are looking at relief pitcher Tyler Rogers. Rogers turns 35 next month. A 10th round pick in 2013 out of Austin Peay, he spent his entire career with the […]
There used to be (and apparently still is) a saying across baseball: Never trade with the Tampa Bay Rays. For years, the Rays would seem to win every trade they made, turning heretofore unheralded prospects into productive major leaguers. (Who would eventually be traded away because the Rays are cheap.) However, the Phillies have shown […]
The Wisconsin Badgers earned their third win of the season with an 86-55 victory over the Ball State Cardinals. Just like the Northern Illinois game, the Badgers got out to a quick start. Wisconsin jumped out to a big 27-6 start, and it appeared Ball State was going to be run out of the Kohl […]
Morning, all! Bruce Bochy is grateful for his time in Texas but is happy to be returning to a role in San Francisco. Most of the sports talk this morning is about the departure of Nico Harrison and the mess his successor will be inheriting. Kevin Sherrington pens a breakup postmortem and notes that there […]
The Royals enter this offseason looking to upgrade an outfield that produced the fewest runs in baseball last year. One intriguing trade target who could help change that is Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, whose name has surfaced frequently in trade rumors this winter. Jarren Duran is a 29-year-old from California who debuted in 2021. […]
In an article yesterday by Jeff Passan of ESPN, he mentions MacKenzie Gore as a possible trade target for the Milwaukee Brewers, who, after winning a league-best 97 games last year and getting bounced in the NLCS, will be looking to make some additions to keep themselves in the hunt entering 2026. The Brewers avoid […]
The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 233 snaps in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. That was the most so far this season, even with Tory Horton not playing. This includes snaps from some players not listed in this article such as Ricky White III (6) and Connor O’Toole (3). All data used in this […]
Good morning A’s fans! Award season continued last night as the Managers of the Year were announced in both leagues. In the National League the winner was the Milwaukee Brewers’ skipper Pat Murphy, who guided the Brew Crew to the #1 seed in the National League with a 97-65 record. He also guided them to […]
Good morning friends! Awards season rolls along — and we’ve got the news you need to know. In Mariners news… Around the league…
Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]
So if the Cubs aren’t going to re-sign Kyle Tucker — and I do not believe they will — then how about a reunion with Cody Bellinger? Bellinger had a very good 2025 with the Yankees, batting .272/.334/.480 with 29 home runs in 152 games. That was worth 5.1 bWAR. Yes, it was skewed a […]
The story of the 2025 Orioles is as much about who didn’t play because they were hurt as much as it is about how well players played when healthy. Grayson Rodriguez represents this idea taken to its most extreme. He is a pitcher who the Orioles and fans were counting on to at least be […]
No news to Chicago Bears fans, but Caleb Williams took a lot of sacks last year, getting sacked on 10.79% of his dropbacks. However, did you know he also led the league in sacks avoided as a rookie? This season, he’s taking far fewer sacks, with his sack percentage way down to 4.56 (fifth lowest in the […]

One thing that we now know about the Green Bay Packers’ upcoming game against the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon: Russell Wilson will not be the Giants’ starting quarterback. On Wednesday morning, the Giants revealed that they are making Jameis Winston their number two quarterback behind rookie Jaxson Dart, moving Winston up ahead of […]

Finally saw ‘Weapons,’ and I thought it was an incredibly enjoyable watch. All the more enjoyable, I suspect, because I was lucky enough to have avoided any spoilers. Went in to it knowing almost nothing, and that made the payoffs so much better. Kyle Hendricks is officially retired, which we knew was coming based on the reports, but the finality of which – without even a whiff of pomp – is still a little jarring. Then again, is it really a surprise that Kyle Hendricks is keeping it low...
The Colts have a fatal flaw. Daniel Jones is turning the ball over too much and is turning back into the pumpkin we knew he was in New York. What happened to the offensive line? They are giving up way too much pressure and too many sacks. This defense struggles to get off the field […]
The Orioles are in a position where they must improve the top of their starting rotation. If they aren’t willing to trade prospects or young players to do it, spending money is the only way. That’s a bad place to be. High-end free agent starting pitchers are expensive and risky bets. They might get hurt. […]
