87 hitters have taken 100 PA so far in AA leagues so far this season. The best batting line among them belongs to the Blue Jays’ 2024 fourth round draft pick, Sean Keys. Keys played his college ball at Bucknell, putting up ridiculous numbers against pretty pedestrian Patriot League competition. He popped a bit with […]
Manchester City’s Champions League hopes sit in the balance as they welcome Turkish side Galatasaray to the Etihad Stadium. Victory for the Blues should be enough to see them reach the top eight in the table and avoid a 2-legged play-off to reach the last 16. They face a Galatasaray side who have been a […]
The Texas Rangers will have pitchers and catchers reporting to Surprise in a couple of weeks, and the team’s roster is starting to round into shape. The Rangers swapped Marcus Semien for Brandon Nimmo early in the offseason, addressing their corner outfield need while also opening up a spot for Josh Smith to play every […]
The Buffalo Bills are entering the 2026 offseason staring down a familiar opponent: the salary cap. If the league year opened today, Buffalo would be roughly $11 million over the salary cap, a number that looks uncomfortable at first glance but is far from unmanageable. In fact, with a handful of restructurings and difficult but […]
The San Francisco 49ers have one of the most valuable running backs in the NFL in Christian McCaffrey, who is coming off a season where he was a finalist for three prestigious awards. McCaffrey’s rushing numbers weren’t great this past season. Despite not missing a game, he didn’t have a rush longer than 20 yards […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Seth Martinez. If you’re like me, you saw the name “Seth” in an article about Red Sox transactions and briefly celebrated because you thought that Seth Lugo was coming to Boston. Seth Martinez is not Seth Lugo. He does, however, own a World Series ring […]
More time for Amari? Over the last three games, Amari Williams played five minutes against the Brooklyn Nets, then followed that with 10 minutes against the Chicago Bulls during a back-to-back. In his limited time, Williams impressed with his defensive ability while also looking competent on the offensive end. That earned him an expanded role, […]
It’s time for the final installment of our QB rankings for 2025. I felt we could publish them because, at this point, I don’t think Drake Maye or Sam Darnold’s play in the Super Bowl will affect their spots. They’ve both proven where they should be ranked. As a reminder, these rankings are not just […]
David Bote was once thought of as a versatile enough player to keep around on a long-term deal given him by Theo Epstein, a five-year deal that didn’t end until a buyout last year. And, you know, it might have worked until Bote suffered a serious shoulder injury in May 2021 that kept him out […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering a new era under head coach Mike McCarthy, and with that will a new coaching staff under the Super Bowl-winning head coach. McCarthy didn’t waste time after his introductory press conference making his first hire. “Steelers are hiring Adam Henry as their new receivers coach, per source,” Cameron Wolfe reports. […]
BOSTON — Neemias Queta is finally taking a night off to deal with a non-COVID illness that’s been bothering him since Friday. Queta has been on the injury report since the Celtics’ game against the Brooklyn Nets, but he’s nonetheless played in all three of the team’s most recent contests. The Celtics center has averaged […]
The Wisconsin Badgers aim for their 11th straight win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Wednesday, January 27th. Tip-off is at 8:00 PM on the Big Ten Network, and the Badgers are 8.5-point favorites. The Badgers enter this game motivated after collapsing in the second half to USC last Sunday, 73-71. Three-point shooting, an emphasis […]
The Green Bay Packers made their first new hire to the supporting staff for new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, and it is a big one. With the team on the hunt for a new defensive backs coach to fill the vacancy created with Ryan Downard’s departure to Miami, they are bringing aboard a coach who […]
We’re two weeks away from the official start of the 2026 NFL offseason and the Chargers have already been paired with a number of top defensive tackle prospects in this year’s draft class. Now I know the consensus seems to be that the Chargers HAVE TO draft a new center or guard in the first […]
Interesting moment from the latest edition of Adam Schefter’s weekly radio hit on 97.5 The Fanatic’s morning show with Andrew Salciunas and John Kincade. As Schefter was signing off, the following exchange happened. ANDREW SALCIUNAS: We appreciate the time and we’ll talk to you next week. Maybe reacting to an [offensive coordinator] hire in Philadelphia, […]

As we stretch into day 23 of the Arizona Cardinals head coach search, the question becomes… What is going on? It seemed like after the news of Anthony Campanile signing an extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars to remain their defensive coordinator, it seemed inevitable that it was going to be Mike LaFleur. Today though, it […]
Newly-signed outfielder Dylan Carlson ‘s deal with the Cubs is of the minor league variety, but it comes with a very healthy big league rate if he makes the team – $2 million, per Jon Heyman , plus another $1 million in possible incentives. It’s not a big deal – literally or figuratively – but that structure tells us a few things, and it got me thinking about the Cubs’ bench competition (specifically the 4th outfielder gig). So I’m just gonna flow through some thoughts. At a minimum,...
The Big Ten finally released the 2026 conference schedule last night, and Penn State got itself a pretty favorable deal. We take a look at the schedule and discuss the upsides and downsides to it.

Enaruna is averaging 20.9 points and 4.6 assists in 30.8 minutes per game for the Charge this […]
This week, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame unveiled its 25-player watchlist for Defensive Player of the Year. The list included Ohio State women’s basketball guard Kennedy Cambridge’s name, which is no surprise. When Cambridge is on the court, the Buckeyes’ defense is better, and the statistics back it up. Cambridge is first in the […]
There’s a potential spot in the top-eight up for grabs in tonight’s showdown against Antonio Conte’s Napoli, a game that Liam Rosenior called “huge” the other day. Chelsea’s spot in the knockout rounds is already assured, but we can skip the Round of 32 by finishing among the eight best and thus immediately advancing to […]
Former Duke Blue Devils QB and WR Darian Mensah and Cooper Barkate have committed to the Miami Hurricanes via the transfer portal. Mensah comes to Coral Gables from Duke via Tulane, while Barkate arrived at Duke via Harvard (yes, that Harvard). Mensah, the ACC’s leader in passing yards, passing TD’s, and adjusted yards per attempt […]
