Japanese Ace Tatsuya Imai as a Cubs Target This Offseason?

Twice at The Athletic recently, the Chicago Cubs have been connected to Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai, whose NPB team, the Seibu Lions, are generally expected to post him for MLB teams this offseason.

Here’s what Sharma wrote : “But perhaps the Cubs revisit some trade talks that stalled over the summer — Joe Ry...

Álvaro Benito analyzed the key tactical change that helped Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid gain control in El Clásico. Speaking after the match, Benito explained that Alonso surprised him early on by adjusting Madrid’s shape. Federico Valverde moved higher up the pitch, while Jude Bellingham dropped deeper between the lines. At the same time, Madrid’s Carreras […]

Cubs contracts: An extension proposal for Matt Shaw

Matt Shaw was the Cubs’ No. 1 pick in 2023 out of Maryland and raced through the system, making his MLB debut this past March in Tokyo. Unfortunately, Shaw didn’t hit well early in the season. He was batting .172/.294/.241 (10-for-58) in 18 games through April 14 when he was optioned to Triple-A Iowa for […]

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we turn our attention to Philadelphia Eagles reserve offensive lineman Fred Johnson, who has unexpectedly become the epicenter of the team’s total offensive turnaround.

SnakeBytes 10/28: Let’s play two?

Diamondbacks News My Proposed Off-season Plan by ILIKEPOTATOES [AZ Snake Pit]. {Ed. Note: This was a fun article from one of our own and for some reason it’s not making it to the front page in the Feed. Figured I would try and give it a bump here.} This exercise is more fun with a […]

WS 3: Dodgers 6, Blue Jays 5 (18)

Blue Jays - 000 400 100 000 000 000 - 5 15  0 Dodgers - 011 020 100 000 000 001 - 6 16  2 For the second time this postseason, baseball fans – and more casual postseason observers who do not obsess over the game from the moment the gates of spring training camps are unlocked in mid-February – have been treated to an extraordinary, unforgettable game that simply would not have occurred if the most radical of the rule changes imposed on the game during Commissioner Rob Manfred's tenure...

The 49ers are projected to have their highest-scoring game of the season against the Giants

The San Francisco 49ers being the favorites isn’t anything new. However, the New York Giants not being significant underdogs is eyebrow-raising. That’s the scenario we have heading into Week 9. As the Niners head to the dreaded MetLife Stadium, FanDuel Sportsbook has the road team as 2.5-point underdogs, with an obnoxiously high total of 48.5. […]

Dodgers Notes: Will Klein, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Mookie Betts

Getting woken up at 3 a.m. isn’t usually pleasant — unless you’re waking up to the sound of a roaring crowd and “I Love L.A.” blasting from the Dodger Stadium speakers. Ask me how I know. Dodgers Notes Never heard of Will Klein before yesterday? That’s ok — plenty of other Dodger fans hadn’t, either. […]

Tuesday Morning Texas Rangers Update

Good morning. Like six hours after former Texas Rangers World Series starting pitcher Max Scherzer exited his Game 3 start last night for the Toronto Blue Jays, the Los Angeles Dodgers earned a walk-off win in 18 innings to take a 2-1 series lead in this year’s Fall Classic. Notably, Shohei Ohtani had his second […]

Do you like marathon games like Game 3?

I value sleep highly. Having multiple small children that are involved in travel sports and other competitions, my wife and I are on the go constantly. If we’re not going to one practice or game, we’re going to another. It means rest is valued quite a bit. So when I sit down to watch a […]

Coby Mayo salvaged a rough rookie season with a hot September

For Coby Mayo, the 2025 season got off to a rocky start. And not because of his play on the field. On March 18, the day the Orioles cut him from spring training and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk, Mayo attracted some unwanted attention with his comments to the media. “It’s kind of a lose-lose […]

An Unscheduled World Series Double-Header, Freeman and Ohtani, Respect for Busch, and Other Cubs Bullets

Not only did I not make it the full double-length World Series game, but I woke up for the day when the game had only just ended three hours earlier! Any 18-inning game is going to be, by default, a relatively crazy affair, full of close calls, great plays, and dramatic moments. I don’t want to claim that this one will forever be seen as an all-timer, but it certainly had a lot of the hallmarks. Freddie Freeman sure loves hitting particularly dramatic walk-off homers i...
