Stan Bowman has swung the bat. Will it be a single? A double? Or did he just hit a grand slam? That all will depend on how Tristan Jarry plays for the Edmonton Oilers over the remaining three years on his contract. But what drew Stan Bowman and the Oilers to acquiring Jarry in a…
For the second straight preseason, Dan Szymborski’s ZiPS projections – now available at Fangraphs – see the Kansas City Royals as a club with strong pitching that can compete for the division.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot fielded questions about team form, a lack of home advantage of late, and, of course, Mohamed Salah (the latter questions are those he largely did not answer). While the positives are tempered (no losses in four is not the same as four wins, after all), Slot did spare a moment […]
Since the dawn of the portal era in NCAA Division I college sports, transfers have swung national titles, including in women’s college basketball. This year, there’s no indication that that will not continue to be the case. Players that chose to take their talents to new programs are making impacts that seem certain to influence […]
Name: Purdue University Location: West Lafayette, Indiana (which apparently is the most densely populated city in the state), conveniently located across the Wabash River from Lafayette, Indiana. Founded: 1869 Enrollment: 57,310 as of Fall 2025, with 43,067 undergraduates. FUN FACT: Purdue’s student body is 59% male this year, which I presume as a lot to do with the STEM […]
Thirteen years have passed since Larry Biittner’s turn on the mound for the Cubs. Position player pitching was still pretty rare in Major League Baseball. And then came the spring of 1990. You have to remember the context here: The Cubs had come off a division title year in 1989 in which they won 93 […]

Player grades David de Gea—6: Had very little to do in this one, making just 1 save (pretty routine) and not doing much sweeping up. Can’t fault him for conceding a screamer, even if it was from far away; the distance is mitigated by Viti blocking his line of sight. Mattia Viti—7: Very steady game […]
UNC has announced the dismissal of offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens on Friday morning following the Heels disappointing 4-8 season: Kitchens was brought in by Mack Brown in 2023 to serve as the tight ends coach and run game coordinator.

Manchester City vs West Ham United: Premier League Showdown Analysis, Betting Tips & Match Predictions for Saturday’s 16:00
After sorting through and writing about the Fangraphs prospect update in recent weeks, I got to wondering about some players who weren’t on this list of prospects and who might find themselves on it after the next update. Who in the system is not on a prospect list NOW but could well be by this […]
The Edmonton Oilers had a very busy morning by making two trades to finally address goaltending. Regardless of how many seem to be feeling and overreacting to the Oilers acquiring Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins , they have also struck a deal with the Nashville Predators to acquire Spencer Stastney, a young defenseman. The Oilers traded Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round pick to the Penguins for Jarry and Samuel Poulin, so they brought in a starter with a .909 career SV% a...

It’s been a couple of years of questions about whether to pursue Patrick Queen, re-sign guys like Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks, and trying out pieces such as Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker at the middle linebacker spots. Those spots seem to be simmering quite nicely now. The off ball/inside linebacker unit did have some […]
The Royals had a quiet Winter Meetings, but have been pretty active in the days since, signing outfielder Lane Thomas to a one-year deal, and inking All-Star third baseman Maikel Garcia to a long-term deal. In his write-up of the Garcia deal, ESPN reporter Jeff Passan notes the Royals continue to be active on the […]

A weekend back-to-back for the Hawks starts on Friday night in St. Louis against the Blues.
A few months ago, these two teams met in the same building and Chicago handed St. Louis a thorough ass-kicking in an 8-3 game that may not have been as close as the already lopsided score indicated. What have the Blues been up to since then? Most recently, they were getting their asses handed to them by the Nashville Predators, losing 7-2 there on Thursday night before getting back into town late. ...
This is only the second season of the 12-team College Football Playoff, but this bracket is among the weirder in the playoff era. Two Group of Five teams? One Group of Five team seemed unfathomable just a few years ago. Now, two are in the playoffs. The top four teams are seemingly on another tier […]
