Think about the bullpen that the Phillies were putting together when 2025 was beginning. Names like Jose Ruiz and Carlos Hernandez were prominent. Stuff was hard to find.

The NFL sets their salary cap every year after the season and before the new league year. It had been steadily rising by $10-12 million since 2013. A new CBA was signed in 2012 after a lockout, and TV deals pumped a ton of money into the league’s coffers which allowed the pot to grow […]

The Vancouver Canucks have no other logical choice than to continue to sell. They are dead last in the league with 41 points in 54 games and have already traded Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood. They have to get as much out of their pending UFAs and even others as they can and commit to a rebuild or big changes. Evander Kane is going to be gone one way or another by the end of the season as he doesn't fit in the plans for the Canucks and hasn't had the most impactful season. He has nine goals ...
