2025 SnakePit Awards: Pitcher of the Year nominations open

Pitching wasn’t exactly a strength of the Diamondbacks last season. The team finished 23rd by ERA, the same by FIP, 24th by xFIP, and an underwhelming 26th by fWAR, posting just 8.7 wins above replacement level. It’s safe to say that even an average pitching staff, combined with the D-backs’ clearly better than average offense, […]

Cold shooting bites Mizzou women’s basketball in loss to No. 11 Kentucky

Upsets have defined the past few days of women’s college basketball. Since the New Year, five AP top-15 teams have fallen, with four of them losing to unranked opponents. On Sunday, Mizzou couldn’t add itself to the list, dropping a road tilt to No. 11 Kentucky 74-52. Against one of the top scoring defenses in […]

Cardinals-Rams first half discussion thread

Happy season finale one and all. I am not trying to play spoiler, but we probably know how this one will end, as the Arizona Cardinals are not good, and the Rams are trying to get back into a rhythm before they head into the playoffs, where they will be trying to get back to […]

The Raiders Might Be Opening the Door For a Maxx Crosby Trade

While the Las Vegas Raiders are playing to secure the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the biggest offsason storyline might be the one that revolves around star pass rusher Maxx Crosby. One week after leaving the team facility after a disagreement stemming from the team’s decision to shut down him for the team’s Week 17 game against the New York Giants, Maxx Crosby could be on the move this offseason. In her Week 18 notebook, The Athletic’s NFL insider, Dianna Russini, reports the belief...

Could Coleman Crow earn a spot on next year’s pitching staff?

Unless you follow the Brewers’ minor league system, you probably haven’t heard of Coleman Crow. Crow just turned 25 but has been around the minor leagues for six years. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in the 28th round all the way back in 2019, but didn’t play a game of affiliated ball […]

NFL Week 18 Early Games

The last weekend of the 2025 NFL season will continue Sunday at 1:00 PM, with a few interesting matchups including the Cowboys against the Giants — Jerry Jones mentioned this week wanting to play for a “winning record” which is apparently what he would consider a season that ended 8-8-1. The Philadelphia Eagles play the […]

J.T. Realmuto, Bo Bichette and negotiating through the media

When the offseason began, it seemed that it was a given that J.T. Realmuto would return to the Phillies. While he was a free agent able to sign with any team he chose, it seemed like he wanted to return to Philadelphia, and the Phillies wanted him back. But we’ve reached January, and Realmuto has […]

Xabi Alonso: “Gonzalo has had the game of his dreams”

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso spoke after a convincing 5-1 victory over Real Betis, praising hat-trick hero Gonzalo García, saying, “evidently, Gonzalo has had the game of his dreams. Playing at the Bernabéu, scoring a hat-trick in your first season in the first team. I’m delighted for him, he works so hard and has an […]

Yankees Potential Trade Target: Griffin Jax

The Tampa Bay Rays have already made a couple of notable deals this offseason under new owner Patrick Zalupski, shipping out the likes of Brandon Lowe and Shane Baz. Lowe was sent to a long-shot-at-best contender in the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Baz was traded to a pitching-needy division rival in the Baltimore Orioles, once again […]

Who will be the Washington Nationals utility infielder in 2026?

One position we have not talked about too much this offseason is the utility infield spot. Bench spots are not the sexiest thing to talk about, but they can be very important. The Nats actually have three players that have a chance to fill that utility infield spot. Those players are Nasim Nunez, Orelvis Martinez […]

Either the Cubs Payroll Increases or We Will be Dissapointed (And Other Cubs Bullets)

This Cubs offseason has stunk — no doubt about it — but the Bears are sustaining me. It’s been half a decade since our football team sniffed the playoffs … and a lot longer since we actually thought they had a shot at doing anything with their opportunity. So as I sit here today, bummed and annoyed by the all too familiar lack of aggression from the Cubs front office, I am perked back up by Caleb Williams chasing franchise history at Soldier Field this afternoon and continuing that momentum in...

Cubs historical sleuthing: Don Kessinger edition

1960s era Cubs shortstop Don Kessinger is instantly recognizable in this photo. The Facebook page where I found it helpfully identified the other three people in the photo. The Cubs are obviously playing the Phillies. No. 6 is Cookie Rojas, later a Cubs coach. The other Phillies player is Don Money, and the umpire is […]

Sunday morning Rangers things

Good morning, folks… You will be shocked to know that the baseball news is pretty sparse. Jackson Chourio is among the MLB players who were participating in the Venezuelan Winter League playoffs, which have been suspended due to the American attack on the country. JPL third baseman Kazuma Okamoto is reportedly headed to the Blue […]

Yankees sign veteran infielder Paul DeJong to minor-league deal

The New York Yankees’ quiet offseason has continued into the new year as we sit about a month and a half from pitchers and catchers reporting to their spring training complex in Tampa. On Sunday morning though, news broke of them reportedy coming to terms with a name that many baseball fans have heard of, […]
