Fellow Curacaoan/defensive genius Andruw Jones was also in Philadelphia, and the two met up and talked for well over an hour. “I like everything I see,” Jones said of […]
Cardinals History By The Numbers In 2022 Mark Vassett walked onto the field 52 times to punt the football, and amassed over 2,321 total yards on the season. Why is that significant? Well, the 44.63 yards per punt average just so happens to be the best single season putting average in the history of the […]
Rarely at MLB’s trade deadline does a single, obvious player-team match take hold. Any player with substantial value who’s on the market tends to garner interest from across the league, making their landing place a mystery until the 11th hour. But when you cross-reference a thin market at catcher with a small number of teams […]

The Cincinnati Reds came calling, but Matt Ponatoski is choosing the Bluegrass, and Kentucky football may have landed its new QB2.

The Milwaukee Brewers bolstered their roster with a major deadline move, landing veteran pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. in a trade with the Houston Astros. McCullers agreed to waive his no-trade rights to make the deal happen.

Watching him improve in 2024, it was pretty clear that he would become a factor in 2025 if he could avoid the plague of pitcher injuries in the Tigers’ system, and so it went. However, during his mixed […]
Hello, friends. The All-Star break continues. There’s still not going to be any more Orioles baseball until tomorrow when they start the non-mathematical second half of the season in Houston.
