Hope everyone enjoyed their week off from Carolina Panthers football. The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time.

You would be forgiven if you often overlook Tanner Banks’ spot on the Phillies roster. Being a reliever who doesn’t throw hard and who occupies the third left-hander role in a bullpen isn’t exactly a formula for becoming a household name. It’s not a glamorous role, but it is one that Banks filled tremendously last […]

It was something I knew was true this week. Heck, we’ve been talking about it since even before the arrival of free agency. But it was something that got a whole additional layer of context when the Rule 5 Draft arrived yesterday. You see, every year, just ahead of the Rule 5 Draft, someone fires off an info update on where every organization’s 40-man roster stands, since you do not get a slot in the Rule 5 Draft if your 40-man roster doesn’t have at least one open spot. When that ha...

After two years of disappointing early postseason exits without even one win to show for it, the 2025 season was supposed to be one in which the Orioles made their way back to the playoffs and finally advanced. It never worked out that way. All manner of things went wrong with the team over the […]

The Winter meetings came to a close Wednesday in Orlando, Florida. For many fans expecting big moves to improve their teams, especially A’s fans, the ending is quite unsatisfying.

The Winter Meetings have concluded with the Royals yet to address their glaring outfield needs. The free agent market became thinner when former Royals outfielder Mike Yastrzemski signed a two-year deal with the Braves this week.

MLB Winter Meetings were intriguing for baseball fans, but left fans of the San Diego Padres wanting more. There was some clarity about the bullpen and payroll, but how general manager A.J.

The Blackhawks’ win over the Rangers on Wednesday night checked almost every box that you would want from the team. Connor Bedard scored a highlight-reel goal. Tyler Bertuzzi deposited loose change again. Spencer Knight was spectacular in net and got a shutout. The Blackhawks were able to beat Igor Shesterkin three times. It was the right bounce-back effort that you hoped to see. When I say almost every box, that’s because Frank Nazar still can’t buy a goal. He had a few chances. One...

The reclamation quest begins! We know the Chicago Cubs will make a ton of moves like this throughout the offseason (and into the regular season), and we know it’s important that at least SOME of them hit. It’s a volume approach, and it starts now. That is to say, the Cubs have signed former Mariners reliever Collin Snider to a minor league deal, and they’ll try to get him cooking again in Spring Training. Throwback to Snider's transformation between the 2023 and 2024 seasons. 👀 pic.t...
