Here’s a possible MLB expansion and realignment idea that would work well
Last week, I wrote this article on how MLB could reduce its regular season schedule. That’s almost certainly going to happen in conjunction with expansion, which Commissioner Rob Manfred has said is likely to come after the A’s and Rays get their stadium situations settled. Which might now actually happen within the next 3-4 years! […]
The Bucs made a ‘significantly higher offer’ than the 49ers for Mike Evans
Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht spoke to the media on Wednesday, and the topic of Mike Evans came up.

Kucherov’s hat trick, five-point night lead Lightning over Kraken, 6-2
It was fitting that the final horn sounded on the Tampa Bay Lightning’s 6-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken with the Nick Paul line generating shots on the Seattle net. While the trio of Nick Paul, Corey Perry, and Oliver Bjorkstrand didn’t score in the win, they were a key part of a defensive effort that forced a lot of turnovers, and kept the puck in the Seattle zone for most of the night. That line finished with an 11-0 edge in shot attempts, 6-0 edge in scoring chances, and 4-0 edge i...

Well, the Atlanta Braves Grapefruit League Offensive Barrage keeps on truckin’, as the Braves are now 16-5 after a blowout 11-2 win over the Rays.

Lightning Morning News: Has Dylan Duke earned another look at the NHL level?
Do the Tampa Bay Lightning have a need for another forward? Possibly. The status of Zemgus Girgensons is still unknown, and with the team getting ready to head out west, it’s possible they may burn another recall to strengthen their forward depth. If Girgensons isn’t ready to go, it could be time for Dylan Duke to get a nice look with the Bolts. The 23-year-old forward is having a career year for the Syracuse Crunch as he’s posted 49 points (29 goals, 20 assists) in 59 games. Sixteen of t...

Lightning battle back, then fall 4-2 to Hurricanes
Well. To their credit, the Tampa Bay Lightning didn’t get down 3-0 to the Carolina Hurricanes as they had in their previous two meetings. Instead, they were down 2-0. Just as they did in the other two games, the Lightning battled back to tie the game, unfortunately, it was Jordan Martinhook’s shot from a bad angle in the third period that glanced off of Victor Hedman and past Andrei Vasilevskiy that proved to be the difference as Carolina went on to win 4-2. Yanni Gourde and Charle-Edouar...
