The Dodgers are back in Southern California on Sunday night to start the exhibition Freeway Series against the Angels at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Much like Friday night against the Padres at Camelback Ranch, Sunday showcases another potential opening day lineup for the Dodgers, this time with Alex Freeland at second base after getting good […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have spent much of this offseason reshaping their roster, but one area still quietly in need of reinforcement is the interior offensive line. After losing Isaac Seumalo to the Arizona Cardinals, they appear to have a hole at left guard. If they’re serious about stabilizing the offense and protecting their long-term quarterback […]
TCU baseball saw its early season woes continue over the weekend. After being blown out in their series opener with UCF on Friday night, the Horned Frogs dropped another lopsided affair on Sunday, losing their series to the Knights and dropping to .500 in Big 12 play. TCU (13-10, 2-4 Big 12) travels to Dallas […]
1904 Bob Elson, who would become the longest-tenured broadcaster in White Sox history, was born in Chicago.

No. … Wait, you want more? How about in bold? No. Ok, I guess I should probably show my working a little bit. So what I did was gather up the D-backs’ spring training results for each season since 2003 (which is where ESPN’s statistics begin), with the exception of 2020 – when both spring […]

Things are beginning to unravel a bit for the Clemson Baseball program as the 2026 season marches forward. The Tigers were swept on the road by Notre Dame for the first time this season, marking their second straight weekend series loss. Clemson fell to 1-5 in ACC play, an abysmal start for a team projected […]
Will Warren has set the tone this spring, and his final tune-up did not disappoint, as the Yankees defeated the Phillies 6-2 on Sunday afternoon. In what turned into an eventful first inning, Warren had to work around a leadoff double by Kyle Schwarber. After the extra-base hit, Warren leaned on both his stuff and […]
With the 2025 Texas Rangers season having come to an end, we shall be, over the course of the offseason, taking a look at every player who appeared in a major league game for the Texas Rangers in 2025. Today we are looking at utility guy Donovan Solano. Donovan Solano was just barely a Texas […]

With Opening Day less than a week away, you almost wish Spring Training ended with this – – the Spring Breakout game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Here, we’ll see a grip of guys with a lot of promise square up against the product of what MLB.com is calling the #1 ranked farm system in all […]
Cincinnati Reds lefty starter Nick Lodolo has repeatedly dealt with blister issues on his left index finger, and left index finger blisters are pretty problematic when you are a lefty starter. On Sunday in his final start of Cactus League play before Thursday’s Opening Day in Cincinnati, Lodolo was forced to exit after facing only […]
It’s a good thing that it’s still spring training and not the regular season because this was the type of performance that would’ve resulted in a very rough outing for Reynaldo López had it come in a game that counted. Instead, it’s something to think about with the regular season on the horizon as López […]
Although the San Diego Padres Prospects lost a 7-5 game against the Chicago Cubs Prospects at Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz. on Saturday, there were multiple notable and positive signs to come from the contest.

Later in the day, the Rockies top prospects came together to be beaten […]
Go get ‘em, Cade.
If there’s one player we’re a good deal higher on than the industry, it’s left-handed starting pitcher Jake Miller. Personally, I think Miller has a solid chance to develop into a mid-rotation caliber starting pitcher. Others will note the 2025 injuries that stalled his workload progression and see too much downside risk. More likely, he’s […]
The Brewers will take on the Athletics today in the second of two Spring Breakout exhibition games. The Spring Breakout games are a way to highlight prospect talent by giving each team an opportunity to field a full lineup consisting of players from all levels of their minor league systems. Today’s lineup consists almost entirely […]
The Yankees are quickly finalizing the 26-man roster that they’ll bring with them to San Francisco for Wednesday’s season opener, and with several bubble roster spots recently solidified, all that’s left is bookkeeping on the margins.
