Some Teams Are Reportedly Looking at Bo Bichette for Third Base or Second Base

You may vaguely remember that, a few years ago, there were stray rumors about the possibility the Cubs could try to trade for Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette, rather than signing one of the big shortstops available in free agency at the time. The Cubs, of course, went on to sign Dansby Swanson. A year later, there were stray rumors about whether the Cubs might try again to trade for Bichette, this time to play third base. There hasn’t been much there since, in part because Bichette had su...

Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams wasn’t completely unexpected for the San Francisco 49ers, but man, was it deflating at times, given the lack of resistance from the defense. The 49ers’ defense actually generated one more pressure than the 15 against the Giants, but the back seven had a tough time holding up in […]

Cubs Sign Mexican Pitching Prospect Jose Ramon Gonzalez

Late in the summer, the Chicago Cubs signed a Cuban pitching prospect, Ronald Lazaro Mena, to a $350,000 bonus in International Free Agency. That was not only an extremely large bonus to still have available in your pool by late August, but it was also the largest bonus the Cubs have given to a pitcher in this whole class. Now, the Cubs have signed a second outside-the-traditional-window pitching prospect in the class, Jose Ramon Gonzalez: El chihuahuense José Ramón González firma co...

Rebels in the Pros: Jaxson Dart Needs a New Coach

Yep. You read that right. It seems like a real ugly situation brewing in New York as the GM got rid of Brian Daboll, the man who went all in on former Rebel Jaxson Dart. The thing is, Daboll was right. So far, Dart has surpassed expectations, putting up better numbers than Jayden Daniels in […]

Top of the Table, Short on Strikers: Roma’s Injury Curse Strikes Again

The start of Roma’s season has been a pleasure for Romanisti.

Their nearly impenetrable defense has been a key factor in their strong […]

Stock up, stock down: Bears-Giants

My brain hasn’t fully adjusted to this new Chicago Bears era. There was a point in the second half of the game where I said to myself, “the Bears aren’t going to win this game.” And I believed it. Then they forced a fumble and recovered it. They drove down for a touchdown. They got […]

Yankees 2025 Roster Report Cards: Jasson Domínguez
