Less than 24 hours removed from another late-game collapse for the New York Giants, head coach Brian Daboll has been fired by the team.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport was among the first to break the news this afternoon.

The Twins started out the week with Derek Shelton’s introductory press conference, where the Twins gave some indication that the fire sale over the trade deadline would not be continuing into the offseason. That being said, until Pablo López (or Joe Ryan) steps on the mound for Opening Day, everything is likely fluid for the Twins. […]

In 2024, the Braves used a journeyman reliever named Jimmy Herget for a grand total of eight appearances and 12 1/3 innings. In 2025, the Braves used a journeyman reliever named Kevin Herget for a grand total of one appearance and one inning. In 2026, maybe they won’t use any Hergets, or maybe they’ll hire […]

As was the case when it was just an MLB investigation, I will be careful to say at the top that everything public about the Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz betting scandal is an allegation . Nothing has yet been admitted or adjudicated as fact, so there remains that sliver of possibility that this has all been some kind of grand misunderstanding.
That said, the allegations in the federal indictment against Clase and Ortiz are robust, and appear to the be the product of a pretty extensive in...

We continue our Season in Review series today with a quick look at a pitcher that we barely got to know. It feels like we barely got to know you, Matt Krook. How was he acquired? A former 4th-round draft pick by the Giants, Krook had spent six years (plus one canceled pandemic season) climbing […]

The Royals enter this offseason looking to upgrade an offense that finished with the fifth-fewest runs scored in baseball. The biggest area of weakness was easily the outfield. Royals outfielders combined to hit .225/.285/.348, equaling a 73 wRC+, by far the worst in baseball. The Royals are hoping for some improvement to come from development […]

Coming off an excellent 2024 season, and six seasons into his career, with free agency a possibility after the 2025 season, we were all wondering what 2025 would bring. We knew he was going to get a big payday at some point this year. Either from the Blue Jays or from someone else after the […]

Blake Butera has made his first big staffing hire as Washington Nationals manager. One of the biggest calls the 33 year old had to make was hiring a bench coach. With Butera being the youngest manager in over 50 years, he needed to put experience around him. He has done that by hiring Michael Johns […]

Happy Monday one and all. The Arizona Cardinals are now sitting at 3-6 after one of the more embarrassing losses in recent franchise memory. Down 35-0 at one point, the Cardinals offense, defense and special teams all looked overmatched and underprepared against the Seattle Seahawks. That, along with the continued health issues, has lead tot […]

Where have we heard this before? An elite hitting outfielder is traded to a new team a year before he is expected to get a giant payday, and then hits the open market the following fall. Like Juan Soto in November 2024, Kyle Tucker is reaching the open market after spending his contract year in […]

Just a crazy, ALLEGED follow-up to that already-wild story from earlier this year about Commissioner Rob Manfred meeting with Phillies players about labor issues and Bryce Harper getting up in his face. Remember that whole thing , with Harper reportedly saying “get the f— out of our clubhouse” if Manfred wanted to talk about the salary cap?
OK, so apparently, there was more. From Newsweek :

Mookie Betts successfully navigated his first full season at a new, more challenging defensive position, while also having the worst offensive season of his Hall of Fame career. And he was candid about going through the many challenges of his season. In retrospect, getting sent home early from the season-opening trip to Tokyo and not […]

From penalties to poor play, the 2025 Chicago Bears have found ways to win despite certain players or entire units playing well below expectations. Sunday against the New York Giants was no different, but in the end, Caleb Williams and Co. clawed back and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, and the Bears improve […]

Happy Victory Monday, Bears fans! Let’s go play in the snow (after reading BN Bears Bullets, of course!)
It wasn’t pretty, but the Chicago Bears did what they needed to do on Sunday against the New York Giants. They keep winning games they feel destined to lose. It is a 180-degree turnaround from what I am used to as a fan. I’ve never been more thankful that style points don’t matter in the NFL. This team still has work to do in all phases. But so long as it keeps on pulling out dubs at...

Cincinnati Reds lefty Andrew Abbott averaged 92.8 mph with his fastball during his All Star campaign in 2025, a mark that ranked him in just the 26th percentile according to MLB’s Statcast. He also generated grounders just 32.9% of the time, a mark that ranked in just the 9th percentile. I point out his weaknesses […]

It was expected, but now we know it’s officially happening: 27-year-old Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai will be posted by the Seibu Lions this offseason for MLB teams to make offers. He will be one of the most highly sought-after starting pitchers on the market, and the Cubs have been speculatively listed among the possible suitors.
The posting process lasts up to 45 days, and historically, top Japanese players have been posted around the end of November, allowing negotiations to take place up ...
