That works out to a 17 ERA-, 68 FIP-, and 106 xFIP-. He was very good during the last two months after being […]
The San Diego Padres started the new year on the right note, reaching contracts agreements with six arbitration eligible players.

Cheri Bell of Gaslamp Ball provided […]

Newcastle United found a way to advance to the FA Cup fourth round after an exhausting 3-3 draw and a dramatic 7-6 penalty shootout win over Bournemouth, with Aaron Ramsdale emerging as the Magpies’ hero on Saturday. The on-loan goalkeeper saved three penalties—denying Evanilson, Alex Jimenez, and Bafode Diakite—to punch Newcastle’s ticket to the next […]
Despite the St. Louis Cardinals stating that a power-hitting righty outfielder is on their offseason wishlist, fans have heard little to nothing about how the people in charge feel about the incumbent outfield.

Last week, the Phillies hired Don Mattingly to be their bench coach. You probably know that Mattingly was a star player during his career, making six All-Star teams and winning an MVP award.

The Cleveland Browns are said to be the Arizona Cardinals without palm trees. Of course, that is meant to be mean.

The Pittsburgh Pirates starting rotation is headlined by third-year pro Paul Skenes, who has taken the league by storm since he entered as a rookie in 2024.

From the jump, this was Juan Carela’s round. After getting out of the box in the last round dead-even with eventual winner Lucas Gordon, this advancement seemed to be preordained. The rehabbing starter prospect took 13 of 46 (28%) votes: In spite of missing all of 2025 due to TJS, Carela maintained solid respect in […]

Chicago didn’t really seem like major players at the top of the free agent market, but […]
At first glance, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh losing his job after an 18-year tenure looked like a slap in the face to the successful coach.

The Braves suddenly have a pretty full bullpen, with the addition of Tyler Kinley on a relatively cheap deal for the righty veteran who was quite good for the club after joining at the trade deadline.

ESPN | Buster Olney: Since the start of the offseason, bringing back Cody Bellinger has been the Yankees’ top priority; however, that seems to be changing.
