The Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon made their final option decisions (which needed to be made by Thursday). There are no real surprises, though one of those decisions could have gone either way: The Hoskins and Quintana decisions were no-brainers.

The Cowboys’ defense is bad. It’s been really bad. And the loss of Micah Parsons was far more impactful that owner Jerry Jones will ever care to admit. As Jones sat in his box for Dallas’ Monday Night Football game, he watched his team get embarrassed by a bad Cardinals team that put up 27 […]

Much like 2024, the Yankees’ initial bullpen construction to begin 2025 proved insufficient, particularly in the ninth inning. When Devin Williams’ time in pinstripes got off to a rocky start, it became clear GM Brian Cashman would need to find another external option at closer. On July 31st, with the Yankees in the midst of […]

Gosh, those World Series announcers were strange.
