Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
The San Francisco 49ers have shown they are not operating on the same draft boards as the public. Between De’Zhaun Stribling and Kaelon Black, the Niners do not care about perceived reaches. If they’re willing to draft players a round or two too high on Day 2, then all bets are off on Day 3. […]
Great news — Brent Rooker’s recovery from an oblique strain is way ahead of schedule, so much so that the A’s hinted he could be activated as soon as during this series. With the day off Monday, perhaps the more likely outcome is that Rooker rejoins the team Tuesday when they return home to take […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers got thwomped by the A’s last night. Nathan Eovaldi allowed four homers in the loss and now leads the league in that category. Overall the debut of the Rangers’ red City Connect uniforms could’ve gone better. Elsewhere Jeff Wilson writes about Peyton Gray’s “dream moment” in his debut. A simple […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ trading out of the first round on Thursday means they would not have a first-round selection. Starting with their second round selection of De’Zhaun Stribling, the 49ers will not have any players to exercise a fifth-year option. Something exclusive to first-round picks. If this is a criticism of something lost or […]
San Francisco 49ers 2026 second-round pick De’Zhaun Stribling is a reminder not to take stock in which prospects meet with the team prior to the draft. Stribling answered questions from the media after his selection and noted there wasn’t much in terms of back and forth with the 49ers, just “a little communication”. That little […]
Doubles are cool. This was the major realization I came to half asleep on my couch after the Marlins offense recorded their third lead-off double in as many innings off of Giants starter Adrian Houser. In my groggy state, I continued to muse. Is it better to hit a lead-off double than a lead-off home […]
It’s fair to say that the 49ers’ selection of De’Zhaun Stribling with their top selection in the 2026 NFL Draft has divided fans. San Francisco moved down twice, ultimately going from 27 to 33 before taking Stribling, an enticing height-weight-speed prospect who brings substantial YAC upside to the passing game. Trading down and gaining more […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are wrapping up another week of games this weekend, so it’s time to see everyone’s picks for Player of the Week! I think my pick for this week has to be Landen Roupp. Roupp is quietly having a very good start to the season, and the team […]
49ers take Ole Miss WR De’Zhaun Stribling with No. 33 pick in 2026 NFL Draft (paywall) “Ted Nguyen’s analysis: De’Zhaun Stribling is a perfect fit for Kyle Shanahan. There were rumors the 49ers wanted to keep trading down, and now, we see why. Stribling is a bit of a reach, but it’s clear to see what […]
The most notable act by the San Francisco 49ers on the first night of the NFL Draft was general manager John Lynch cracking a smile at the Los Angeles Rams’ selection of quarterback Ty Simpson. The 49ers traded out of the first round. San Francisco opened day two of the draft with the first pick. […]
The San Francisco 49ers sure love their third-round running backs. In a huge surprise, the 49ers took Indiana Hoosiers running back Kaelon Black at No. 90 overall, becoming the third team to take a running back in the 2026 NFL Draft. The running backs took a while to come off the board this year. After […]
The San Francisco 49ers selected Kaelon Black in the third round with the 90th overall pick. He was 179th on Dane Brugler’s board. Black was 197th on the consensus big board. He was 187th on PFF’s big board. The 49ers reaching for a running back in the 3rd round? We’ve seen this movie before. Black […]
Lacking draft picks in the second and third rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys made a big move this offseason, sending starting defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers for a Day 2 pick. The move cleared up the defensive tackle room, which had become a position of surplus after […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is here, and the San Francisco 49ers had six draft picks at their disposal, far different than the 11 they had last offseason. Heading into the offseason, the 49ers were originally slated to have seven draft picks, but they traded their own third-round pick for Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa […]
The A’s sure needed that day off apparently. They marched into Texas this evening and looked like the better team in every facet of the game against the Rangers. That allowed the A’s to romp to a series-opening win and reclaim sole possession of first place in the AL West. Life is good. A’s ambush […]
The Texas Rangers scored a run but the West Coast Athletics scored eight runs. The Rangers donned their new Oklahoma Sooner college baseball uniforms and then Nathan Eovaldi allowed three home runs in the game’s first seven pitches and then like two and a half hours later here Texas is back at .500. Player of […]
The San Francisco 49ers found their edge rusher in the draft. The team took Texas Tech’s Romello Height. He’s 6’3″, 239 pounds. The arm length of 32 1/4 is in the 12th percentile. He’s small, but he’s fast, like, really fast. Height’s speed popped when you watched the Red Raiders. He ran a 4.64 4 […]
After not making a single trade in the 2025 NFL Draft and sticking with all 11 of their draft picks, the San Francisco 49ers traded back for a third time on Friday night, moving from No. 58 to No. 70, where they selected Texas Tech edge rusher Romello Height. San Francisco moved down with the […]
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Miami Marlins to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Adrian Houser, who enters tonight’s game with a 5.40 ERA, 4.44 FIP, with 11 strikeouts to seven walks in 21.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ […]
Well, the San Francisco 49ers decided one pick in the first two rounds was enough. After taking Ole Miss wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling with the No. 33 pick, the San Francisco 49ers have traded out of the No. 58 pick with the Cleveland Browns, moving back 12 spots to the No. 70 overall pick. In […]
The Dallas Cowboys don’t have a draft pick in the second round of the draft, but that didn’t stop them from ‘picking’ someone, as they acquired linebacker Dee Winters from the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a fifth-round pick, 152nd overall. While fans were eagerly watching the draft board for a potential rookie linebacker to slide, the […]
After a full day of waiting and another with speculation of a third trade back, the San Francisco 49ers finally made a selection, taking Ole Miss wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling with the No. 33 pick in the draft. Stribling, who stands 6’2, 207 pounds, seems like a great fit on paper for the Kyle Shanahan […]
The San Francisco 49ers agreed to trade linebacker Dee Winters to the Dallas Cowboys, per Ian Rapport. Winters is the odd man out after the Niners signed Dre Greenlaw in free agency. Winters played well in his role last season for the Niners, especially with all of the moving parts. However, Winters is entering the […]
Only 10 picks into the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft the Dallas Cowboys made a move. The Dallas Cowboys made a trade with the San Francisco 49ers for veteran linebacker Dee Winters. Winters was a sixth-round pick for the 49ers back in the 2023 NFL Draft, but he is a local name for […]
The Mariners had a fairly underwhelming homestand, going just 3-3 against a pair of division rivals in the Rangers and A’s, but a walkoff from Josh Naylor on Wednesday salvaged much of the vibes. After an off day yesterday, Seattle embarks on its first Midwest road trip of the year, kicking things off with a […]
