We’re not too far from awards season, which means the usual worthy nominees, head-scratching selections, and outright upsets have started to populate the Gold Glove discussion for 2025 . Dillon Dingler is one of the catching finalists for the Detroit Tigers; Carlos Santana earns another nom for the Cleveland Guardians after winning the 1B award last season. Bobby Witt, Jr. represents shortstop, with division foes Maikel Garcia (Royals) and Jose Ramirez (Guardians) both nominated at third base....
The Rams beat down the Jaguars across the pond in a game that was never close. They inch closer to the 49ers, who hope the Cardinals drop a game to the Packers later this afternoon. We’ll have to wait until Monday to see if the Seahawks drop a game. This morning doesn’t have any marquee […]
The Reign earn a 2-1 win in Lu Barnes' final regular-season home match.
This year’s NLCS series between Milwaukee and Los Angeles elicited plenty of attention, but not only because the Dodgers were in it. While casual fans and international viewers love Shohei Ohtani, everyone outside the Dodgers fanbase cheered for David to defeat Goliath, another issue came to light: The salary mismatch between these two teams, and […]
1909 Hugh Duffy took over as the fifth White Sox manager of all time, after Billy Sullivan had a disappointing 78-74 year in his one year at the player-manager helm. Just as Sullivan’s defensive genius didn’t serve him particularly well as a skipper, Duffy was a Hall of Fame player who ended up a lousy […]
In case you missed it, Mookie Betts turned himself into one of the best defensive shortstops in baseball this year, and he did it in a history-making fashion, becoming the first player in baseball history to start at least 140 games at shortstop at age-32 or older after having made fewer than 100 career appearances […]
Ahead of his final year under team control, Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has gotten plenty of attention as fans and clubs alike have begun to turn their attention towards the offseason. Detroit’s reported extension offer of less than $100MM over four years last offseason does not inspire confidence that the club will be able to…
A real Canadian flavour to the Sunday Scramble this week (Go Blue Jays), and after giving my thoughts about our Edmonton Oilers in my column on Saturday, let’s capitalize on the neighbourly doom permeating provincial borders… This will be a big test for Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy. Will he make the panic move…
The San Diego Padres prospects playing in the AFL are part of the Peoria Javelinas team and sit third in the AFL standings at the end of Week 2.

As we enter week seven of the 2025 NFL season, the Arizona Cardinals sit at 2-4 and they could enter the bye week with a big problems On the one hand, the Cardinals could be 2-5, on the other hand… There’s not one. I mean 3-4 would be good, and ideal, but until they win […]
Zion Young is a man who talks the talk and walks the walk. The Atlanta native, playing two hours away from his hometown, was one of the players selected to represent Mizzou in the overtime coin toss at midfield Saturday night against Auburn. The (Columbia-based) Tigers forced OT after a late touchdown – one that […]

While there has not been much noise about the Washington Nationals managerial hunt, there are hirings being finalized around the league. One of those hirings has me very intrigued and has made me think differently about candidates the Nats could look at. The Giants are closing in on a deal to hire Tony Vitello away […]
Jose Bautista turns 45 today. From 2008 to 2017, those years would have been so much different without Jost. He gave us so many great moments over the years, but of course, the best was the home run and bat flip in Game 5. When we traded for him in August of 2008, the trade […]
You might not think there are enough clues in this photo to narrow down the date, but not only do I have the date, I can tell you exactly when this photo was taken. First, let’s look at the photo again (click to enlarge): So this is clearly old-style Wrigley Field — no lights, small […]
The Milwaukee Brewers’ 2025 season met an ignominious end on Friday night. It was a disappointing way for the year to come to a close and exposed some of the lingering questions about this iteration of the Brewers as they move forward, but this was also an excellent season for a team with a lot […]

The Detroit Tigers are reportedly contemplating dealing Tarik Skubal, who is eligible for free agency after the 2026 season. David Laurila has his […]
Red Sox outfielder Rob Refsnyder flirted with retirement last offseason, but ultimately decided to continue his career in Boston. Now that he’s headed into his age-35 season, however, it appears he’s less conflicted about his future. Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reported yesterday that Refsnyder intends to continue his playing career in 2026, and…
It wasn’t pretty, but the Aggies escaped Fayetteville with a 45-42 win to remain undefeated and advance to 7-0 for the first time since 1994. Texas A&M will hope to remain undefeated as they hit the road once again, this time heading to Baton Rouge to take on LSU. The Tigers suffered a loss to […]
Sebastian Fundora was recently injured in training and saw his October 25 fight with Keith Thurman postponed, but a new working date is already in place, and it won’t be a pay-per-view main event with that new date.
