Value of Things: Delayed Market possibilities

What to make of Will Warren

Recency bias can be a heck of a thing, and a concept that may not serve Yankees righty Will Warren all that well. In his most recent outing on Monday against a forgettable Angels lineup, Warren failed to escape the fourth inning, and although they were all unearned, Los Angeles plated four runs under his […]

In the […]

Dodgers notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Justin Wrobleski, Edwin Díaz

In the best pitching duel the Dodgers have seen so far this season, Yoshinobu Yamamoto went toe-to-toe with New York Mets right-hander Nolan McLean and continued the trend of starting pitching giving Mets hitters headaches.

NHL Rumors: 3 Free-Agent Destinations for Sharks' Mario Ferraro

The San Jose Sharks took a nice step in the right direction this season, but just missed out on the playoffs. Now, they are entering the offseason with some big decisions to make. One of them is regarding defenseman Mario Ferraro, as the left-shot blueliner is a pending UFA. If Ferraro ends up hitting the free-agent market instead of re-signing with San Jose, several teams should look to sign him. Because of this, let's look at three clubs that could target Ferraro this summer.  Philadelp...

Longtime Brewers manager Phil Garner passes at age 76

Wednesday BP: Krukow believes Roupp will be All Star

We asked, you answered: should the Ravens trade for Dexter Lawrence?

Reports have placed Lawrence’s trade value at a […]

Can Kyle Karros find a way to break out soon?

It’s easy to panic early in the regular season. As the sample size of plate appearances continues to grow and success isn’t consistent, the temptation to pull the rip cord on certain young players grows ever more tempting.
