The Atlanta Braves made yet another move this week, this time signing infielder Vidal Brujan to a split contract for the 2026 season. Brujan was acquired by the Braves in August. From there, he appeared in 24 games with a .268 batting average and a perfect fielding percentage. This split contract allows the Braves to […]
Since the Padres inaugural season in 1969, the Dodgers have mostly maintained the upper hand in clashes between the two teams. Since the 2020 season, San Diego’s goal has been to create a serious rivalry between themselves and the Dodgers. To put it simply, they got what they wished for, and they are paying for […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Good morning. I think Al pretty much handled the fiasco concerning the MLB TV rights, so we’ll skip that here.
Kindof an eventful day for mid November. In case you missed it, Max had you covered: MLBTR had stories about Lange and McArthur. Anne Rogers also writes about Lange as she was the one who broke the news: The Royals signed right-hander Alex Lange to a one-year deal on Thursday night, bringing in the reliever […]
A year ago, there was an argument to be made that Devin Williams was the best relief pitcher in baseball. He had just wrapped a six-season stint at the back of the Brewers bullpen that saw him compile a 1.83 ERA and save 68 games over 235.1 total innings. All that stood in between him […]
Two days ago, I turned 40 years old. On one hand, my body is feeling it. Year #39 has been challenging from a health perspective. A severe noro-virus wiped me out at the beginning of the year, my 6’8” frame finally proved too much for my lower back (though strengthening PT has helped a lot!), […]
After a close vote for No. 4 (if you’ll recall, Sal Frelick won with nine votes to Christian Yelich’s eight votes), Yelich blew the competition out of the water in this week’s voting to slot in at No. 5 on our 2025 MVBrewers list. The BCB community voted for Yelich with 16 votes in The […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Since the season ended, the McCovey Chronicles staff have been doing player reviews that go over each member of the San Francisco Giants’ 2025 season. Today, I’m going to continue our community reviews where we ask you all to weigh in on how you feel like each player did this year […]
With Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt both recovering from Tommy John surgery to various degrees, Carlos Rodón out for at least the start of 2026, and the rest of the rotation bar Max Fried talented but inconsistent or still unproven, the Yankees could very well take a shot at a starting pitcher acquisition this winter. […]
Maybe it’s Blake Street Bomber nostalgia. Maybe it’s missing power hitters like Todd Helton, Carlos Gozález, prime Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story. Maybe it’s just wanting to have a fun, competitive baseball team again. But after each season, especially as Arenado and Story left town, I feel like it’s become my after-season tradition […]

The Detroit Lions (6-4) and New York Giants (2-9) will square off in a Week 12 matchup at Ford Field. The Giants’ record is rough, but their talent is better than it suggests. New York will fight to stay in this game, but they’ll need to find a way to keep things together when the […]
Back in April at the NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns owned the first pick in the second round, which happened to be their own. RELATED: GARRETT, SCHWESINGER WIN NFL AWARDS? The Browns, New York Football Giants, and the Tennessee Titans all finished with 3-14-0 records, and through a series of tie-breakers, the Titans would pick […]
The banner of dystopian surveillance company Palantir hung above Fenway Park last weekend, lording over the spectacle of some college kids playing football, many more of them watching it, and most all their parents eating $12 burgers or whatever. It was the Secretaries’ Cup, and the United States Coast Guard Academy’s team was playing, and […]
The Tigers will don their purple uniforms against a team routinely in purple, the Furman Paladins, as they look to build momentum. Clemson does a tremendous job with its military appreciation every year, and it is always a cool experience for fans even if the opponent is not the most compelling. It is also senior […]
Daniel Jones limited at Colts practice with calf! Bye week effect real! IU sluggish AGAIN! Pacers tonight!
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The dust is still settling on the Grayson Rodriguez-for-Taylor Ward trade and everyone in Birdland has an opinion. It was perhaps the most unexpected trade of the Mike Elias era, sending away one of the Orioles’ most high-ceiling (but also high-risk) young pitchers for a 32-year-old outfielder with just one season […]
For the first time this year, I got a huge swing and a miss in my bold prediction. The Detroit Lions never came close to making a turnover on defense, despite the Philadelphia Eagles offense struggling to do much. Detroit’s defense played tough and did all they could against Philadelphia, but only came away with […]
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Bleed Cubbie Blue is pleased to present a Cubs-centric look at baseball’s colorful past. Here’s a handy Cubs timeline, to help you follow the various narrative paths. “Maybe I called it wrong, but it’s official.” — Tom Connolly, HoF Umpire. Happy birthday to Quinton Berry and other former Cubs! Today in baseball history: Cubs Birthdays: […]
Artemi Panarin sits at the center of the 2026 UFA drama, and it might not end with him walking straight to July 1. With the New York Rangers unwilling to keep his $11.6 million cap hit rolling into his late 30s and Panarin reportedly uninterested in a pay cut, the door is wide open for a blockbuster. If the Rangers slip in the standings before the March 6 trade deadline, they’re expected to at least explore asking him to waive his no-move clause. That’s where Sportsnet insider Nick...
The LSU Tigers face a tough Western Kentucky side in the final home game of the season on Saturday. Can LSU get a win and close out the season with a W? From third down efficacy, player props, team defense/offense numbers, team totals and more, we will have a little bit of everything as we […]
The Yankees’ progress through the offseason continues, as they have penciled in an outfielder and a pitcher and now have to survey the free agent field. Brian Cashman recently spoke to the media about their plans for the offseason, noting their need to fill two outfield spots when Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger were both […]
The stock of Pirates prospect Esmerlyn Valdez is at an all time high after his incredible stretch in the Arizona Fall League. Valdez was one of the most dominant hitters in the AFL this season, showing early success as he earned a top performer nod in the opening week of the league. The success would […]
…because it’s almost FEAST WEEK, you see. Illinois lost to Alabama. Washington should’ve lost to Southern. Same for Maryland with the Mount. And Michigan State pounded Kentucky. That about sums up the week of Big Ten basketball, yes? Thursday, November 20 #1 Purdue Boilermakers 80, Memphis Tigers 71It was jarring to see Purdue give up […]
