Ahead of Leafs vs. Lightning on HNIC, Jon Cooper discussed the Leafs and Panthers’ fall from grace in the Atlantic Division, the Lightning’s consistency, and the addition of Corey Perry ahead of the playoffs. Is it a little bizarre to see the Panthers and the Leafs at the bottom of the Atlantic Division? Cooper: I’ve […]

No bottle can contain them.
A legendary legacy. First pitch against the Boston Red Sox is at 1:05 at JetBlue Park and the Rays will be providing TV and radio coverage.
Is it on TV? Yes, after a one-day break from spring training coverage, the Sox are back on the air. You can catch the game on either NESN360 or over the air on WHDH, first pitch at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? It’s Johan Oviedo’s third start, which means we […]

Well, now we kind of know what the team will look like heading into the playoffs. The Lightning had a relatively quiet deadline day and will finish off the final 21 games of the season with the squad that they...
In his port-deadline press conference (see below) Julien BriseBois updated the gathered reporters on the status of a couple of injured players. It looks like Gage Goncalves is considered day-to-day. Could he be back for the Buffalo game on Sunday? Maybe. Chances are he’ll be out for a couple of more days before rejoining the team in game action.
Nick Paul is still week-to-week according to the general manager. That’s good news for Conor Geekie, who is likely with the team until Paul is he...
Expectations were high for Cam Schlittler’s first spring start, and he did not disappoint. Over 2.1 innings and 39 pitches, he struck out four Rays and looked really good while doing it. Meanwhile, Trent Grisham came up clutch on offense, driving in two runs on a single in the second inning. The rest of the […]
Hey everyone! It’s good to be back. Speaking of back, so are the Yankees, and they’ll be looking to wash away the aftertaste of yesterday’s 15-0 drubbing at the hands of the Twins. Their opponents today will be the Rays, with Cam Schlittler making his spring debut against Joe Boyle. It’s hard to overstate the […]
Sean Tucker Hits the Market: Fantasy Implications as Tampa Bay Declines His Tender The Tampa Bay Buccaneers declined to tender restricted free agent running back Sean Tucker, making him an unrestricted free agent when the new league year opens on March 11, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The move was not a surprise, but it carries [...]

For the second consecutive trade deadline it appears that general manager Julien BriseBois is bringing a player back into the organization. Last year it was Yanni Gourde. This year it’s Corey Perry.
Corey Perry to Tampa Bay from LA — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 6, 2026
The rumored cost is a second-round pick. Which, based on some of the other deals made over the last 24 hours seems to be about right. What was once thought to be a buyer’s market has decidedly swun...

Shortly after the Winnipeg Jets downed the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night, General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff made his first trade deadline move as he confirmed that the True North franchise would be in the Seller category this season.
After news broke in the afternoon that defensemen Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn would be held out of the line up due to “ roster management ” reasons….we all knew that the likelihood that the veteran defenders would be moved increased dramatically. A...
While most of the attention in camp has focused on players battling for the final spots on the major league roster, several prospects have quietly stood out in small samples. Spring Training results are noisy, but traits like strike throwing, approach, and batted-ball profile can still signal meaningful development – especially when viewed in the […]
Meet the Mets Jorge Polanco made his spring debut at first base, and Brett Baty hit a home run early in the Mets’ loss to the Nationals yesterday afternoon.

Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles were Grapefruit League winners yesterday with a 4-3 decision over the Rays in Port Charlotte. The Birds’ travel lineup included only two players guaranteed to make the team — Dylan Beavers and Samuel Basallo, who had a hit apiece — along with a couple of bubble guys in Leody […]
One of the more exciting parts of spring training in recent years has been the annual Spring Breakout series of games in which top prospects across all levels of each of the thirty organizations square off. This year, Mets prospects will face Rays prospects on Thursday, March 19 at 7:10 PM EDT at Clover Field […]
Say what you will about the Tampa Bay Lightning, but they don’t do things in small doses. It’s all or nothing for them. They started the season losing six of seven. Then they won fifteen out of eighteen games. After that it was seven losses out of nine. Then they were the best team in hockey with twenty wins out of their next twenty-two. Now, after a 4-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets they are the proud owners of a four-game losing streak.
Brayden Point had the lone tally for the Lightning as ...
Recap of the game.
Pair of moves before the game against the Lightning.
The Winnipeg Jets are playing it safe with a couple of their biggest trade chips. The Jets are sitting defencemen Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley on Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Trade talks have advanced and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff is listening to a number of offers on each blueliner. Per @WiebesWorld : Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn are not dressed for the Jets — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 6, 2026 Schenn brings a wealth of experience and a stay-at-home physical...

Tampa Bay’s prospects will play Thursday, March 19 at the Mets (Clover Park — St. Lucie, FL) at 7:10 PM. The game will be broadcast for free […]
So far the Tampa Bay Lightning have had a quiet trade season. They lost Jack Finley on waivers, made some minor trades, but all-in-all, general manager Julien BriseBois has been pretty content with his often injured, but still conference-leading roster. Could that change over the next 20+ hours? If history is any indication, yes, yes it will.
As usual, there hasn’t been much solid reporting on the Lightning’s trade interests. Yes, there has been speculation and tires kicked on names like ...
