Elephant Rumblings: Happy New Year!

The Baseball world is quiet today. So instead of “creating” some news, I’m just going to say that I’m optimistic about the 2026 Athletics season. While management has not brought in many fresh faces, Jeff McNeil, Mark Leiter Jr., and the few minor league contract signings give me hope. The starting rotation, as it appears […]

Turning the page on 2025, turning the page on the Mets’ core

Letting go is an essential part of life. Letting go is also, by its very nature, painful. The New Year is defined by the need to let go of both the good and the bad things that defined the previous 365 days—retaining the parts you want to bring with you, breaking away the parts you […]

Happy New Year 2026!

Happy New Year to you from all of us at BCB. Here’s the full image from above: Here’s my wish for you to have a happy, healthy 2025, and also a wish for the Chicago Cubs to have a successful season and hopefully return to the postseason. If you are looking for a baseball alternative […]

Is there something baseball related you want to do this year?

It’s the new year and it’s time for resolutions. People are going to lose weight, read more, be on their phone less, blah, blah, blah. If we’re talking about making resolutions that we’re just going to break, then mine for the season is to watch less Phillies for my own mental well being. However, let’s […]

OTM Open Thread 1/1: Happy New Year!

2025 may be gone, but the holes in this Red Sox roster are not. With virtually the entire MLB offseason on hold over the last week for the holidays, we enter 2026 with both a Red Sox team that hasn’t participated in free agency yet this winter, and a free agent class that still has […]

Mets Morning News: Happy New Year!

Meet the Mets Happy New Year, dear Amazin’ Avenue readers! May 2026 hold more wins than losses. Carlos Beltrán did not always have the best relationship with the Mets, but that has all changed in recent years, culminating in his induction in the Mets Hall of Fame. The Mets’ trio of young pitchers are doing […]

New Year’s Resolutions for the Rockies

2025 was a trying year for both the Colorado Rockies and their fans. A 43-119 record is nothing to brush aside, and hopefully signifies rock bottom for a franchise that exists in the same city as the Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets and Denver Broncos. However, 2026 is a clean slate. There have been a lot […]

Orioles news: Hoping for better things in 2026

Hello, friends. You’ve made it! The cursed year 2025 is over and you have survived. 2026 will surely bring its own share of challenges but hopefully at least within the sphere of our favorite baseball team things will go better on the strength of internal and external improvements to the roster that are made this […]

Five things to look out for – Sunderland vs Manchester City

Manchester City begin 2026 with a trip to face high flying Sunderland in the Premier League. The Blues ended the year in fine form, winning eight games in a row in all competitions, but they face a tough test against Regis le Bris’s side who haven’t lost at home in the Premier League all season. […]

Purple Row After Dark: What brought you sports joy in 2025?

In asking this, I am stealing a question that The Athletic’s “The Pulse” newsletter posed to their staff and readers. The answers were compelling and touched on a wide range of topics. There was not a great deal of joy for the historically bad 2025 Colorado Rockies and their fans. But I’m a big believer […]

UPDATE: Dashawn Spears Staying With LSU

Well so much for that. About three hours after 247’s Matt Zenitz reported that Dashawn Spears would be entering the transfer portal Wednesday night, Zenitz later broke the news that Spears will be taking his name out of the portal. The news was confirmed by both Blake Baker and Spears himself, who posted their reactions […]

New Year’s Eve open thread

I just want to say thanks to everybody who’s helped make this year a really special one for both me personally and the website as a whole. Thank you a million times over and let’s make sure 2026 is an even better year — especially if our Braves bounce back. Here’s a random clip:
