We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Which Brewer do you defend no matter what the numbers say? For me, it’s Rickie Weeks.

The Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line was ranked #26 last year. Lots of players became injured, and at one time, it was a revolving door of new bodies. OG Will Hernandez was hurt, then returned, then got injured again. Both starting tackles ended up on IR. Something has to be done for this upcoming season. RELATED: […]

Spring training positional battles are storied Florida/Arizona traditions, but as of now, the Yankees don’t have many significant battles to play out in camp.

MLB | Bryan Hoch: Flame-throwing prospect Carlos Lagrange knew he’d be throwing a three-inning live batting practice session. He did not know he would be facing the greatest hitter on the planet, Aaron James Judge. Each got the better of the other, as they faced off three times. Judge demolished a 99-mph heater from Lagrange […]

With their final bench spot still in a bit of flux, the Mets made another addition to their very large group of players in camp, signing veteran Mike Tauchman to a minor league deal, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic. Tauchman, despite being on a minor league contract, will have a very open opportunity […]
The news that Corbin Carroll had suffered a broken hamate bone in his hand was not the way the D-backs wanted to start spring training. I guess the good news – if there is any – is that the injury happened at the beginning of the pre-season, minimizing the amount of regular season time lost. […]
The 2026 Wake Forest Baseball season officially got underway last weekend, with Wake Forest going 2-1 in the 2026 Puerto Rico Challenge.
