SNY | Tom Hanslin: The Yankees signed Mexican League MVP Nick Torres to a minor-league deal Saturday, as announced by Algodoneros Unión Laguna, his former team. The 32-year-old slashed .347/.425/.730 this past season with 27 homers and 79 RBI in 86 games, adding to an impressive resume south of the border. A fourth-round draft pick […]
Mizzou’s 2026 season ends with an 8-5 record after losing the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl to Virginia. Missing a host of offensive players to transfers and injury, Mizzou’s offense failed to put up any points after the opening drive, making Virginia’s lone touchdown and two field goals enough to come out on top. Here are your […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers looked lifeless in Houston. This will be a quick one. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 16 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds Mitchell forced his way to the rim and even tried to dunk his frustrations away a few times. But it wasn’t enough. Grade: […]
With the signing of former KBO Gold Glove infielder Sung-Mun Song, the San Diego Padres added depth to their roster. Based on the experience with former Padre Ha-Seong Kim, the organization and Padres fans should not expect Song to be a starter in 2026. Kim took a full season to fully adjust to the jump […]
Well, that was fun (and stressful!) Thanks to an early goal by Anders Lee, the New York Islanders maintained a lead essentially all game, despite some scary moments and frankly pretty sloppy play against the New York Rangers. Of course, holding on to that lead wouldn’t have been possible without incredible play by David Rittich, […]
Tonight, the LSU Tigers (7-5) face the #21 Houston Cougars (9-3) in the Kinder’s Texas Bowl. This marks a second-consecutive appearance in the Texas Bowl for LSU. LSU has suffered through a very disappointing season and it all comes to an end today, just like the year itself. Although they come into this game as […]
Igor Shesterkin did everything he could, but familiar scoring issues doomed the Rangers as they were shut out—again—by the Islanders.
The Brian Kelly era at LSU officially comes to a close tonight as the Tigers end the 2025 season in the exact same venue where they ended the 2024 season: Houston for the Texas Bowl. Bowl games are becoming impossible to preview, and that is especially true for an LSU team that is transitioning from […]
The Cincinnati Reds spent their Saturday morning finalizing a deal to sign outfielder JJ Bleday, the former 4th overall draft pick and former member of both the Miami Marlins and Athletics of Wherevertheyare. That move added depth to Cincinnati’s outfield, something that was a) vital and b) something that most of us considered a spot […]
The White Sox want you to think things are changing at 35th and Shields. After signing Munetaka Murakami, it was starting to look like you could have faith that this organization was starting to turn the corner. This is still the White Sox, an organization that is the epitome of one step forward, two steps […]

Before we get the Tank Bowl on Sunday between the New York Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders, let’s take a look at what the Jets draft could look like if they remain at 4th overall. For this mock draft I’ve used the PFF simulator, and all picks are with other teams selecting in mind. […]

Clemson and Penn State met today in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl. When I told my wife what bowl game we were playing in she said “What the hell is that?” and I laughed hard. How far we have fallen. Both teams had high hopes at the beginning of the season, but things just […]
When we last left off with Bobby Miller in 2024, here was his prognosis for the coming year at True Blue LA: …Bobby Miller finds himself at a crossroads in his career. Whether [2024] was an aberration or the new normal is entirely up to him. Fixing his fastball has to be the top priority. […]

It takes two to tango, so further contract extensions won’t take place unless there is desire amongst the remaining players the A’s might wish to extend. And unless there is further willingness on the part of A’s ownership to commit ‘real money’ beyond what is already committed. This dance is an intricate one: searching for […]
This Cubs offseason appears to be, at least so far, “Sign All The Relievers Except The Big-Name Ones” year for Jed Hoyer. Next up: Hunter Harvey was the Orioles’ first-round pick (22nd overall) in 2013 out of high school in North Carolina and eventually wound up with the Nationals, where he had a couple of […]
There’s a surprise signing, filling up our cups between Christmas and New Year. It’s a pretty significant – and risky – upside play in the Chicago Cubs’ bullpen, and this time it’s not a soft-tossing 2025 Rangers reliever ! Mold broken! The Cubs are reportedly adding hard-throwing righty Hunter Harvey: Reliever Hunter Harvey and the Cubs are in agreement on a deal, pending physical, league sources tell me and @sahadevsharma . — Will Sammon (@WillSammon) December 27, 2025 T...
