Rutgers women’s basketball faced another stern test down Route 1 on Tuesday night against Princeton, and while the Scarlet Knights showed flashes of life early, the Tigers’ depth and firepower proved too much in the end. In what is becoming a concerning trend, Rutgers started the game with three straight turnovers and did not score […]

In hindsight, if one squints hard enough, the acquisition of Tanner Scott made sense. The 2024 Dodgers had a bullpen that overachieved, but was getting a bit long in the tooth with Blake Treinen as the de facto closer. When the Dodgers acquired Scott in January, he was the best relief arm on the market. […]

Hope everyone enjoyed their week off from Carolina Panthers football. The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time. For the last two weeks, the lasting memory of the Panthers is an upset win over the Rams. In the time that’s past, that very same Rams team completely annihilated the Cardinals on the road […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Well, well, well… first place in the division just got a bit more interesting. After coming off a near-embarrassing loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Buccaneers then lost to the now 3-10 Saints. This was a game that Tampa Bay had no reason to lose, and compared to how this team looked […]

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 […]

The Baltimore Orioles have already impacted the offseason of the Cincinnati Reds in immeasurable ways. As the bidding became fierce over Kyle Schwarber, rumor has it the Orioles were the club who pushed the bidding all the way to $150 million, effectively pricing out the Reds and leaving only the Philadelphia Phillies – to whom […]

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...

Let’s take a quick position by position look at the top names (anybody with positive WAR) remaining. Each player’s 2026 seasonal […]

Having been drafted and developed by the Mets in 2016, Alonso spent the entirety of his professional career in the organization up until that point. […]

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. With Harrison Bader looking for a three-year deal, the free agent market isn’t looking like a promising avenue to […]

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. Preller is going to address all the needs on the San Diego roster remains in question. It does seem that trades will be […]

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...
