The Wisconsin Badgers had a nice win over the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Field House on Sunday, marking their seventh-straight win and 15th in conference play. They moved up one spot in the Top 25 from No. 11, breaking back into the Top 10 heading into the final week of the regular season. That wasn’t […]
Chaim! The Red Sox made their first big move of the offseason today, as current CBO Craig Breslow made a deal with recently departed CBO Chaim Bloom, acquiring three-time All-Star and former Cy Young runner-up Sonny Gray from the Cardinals in exchange for Richard Fitts and prospect Brandon Clarke (the #8 prospect in the system […]
The Kentucky Wildcats are on the verge of reaching bowl eligibility, but in order to get there, they’ll have to win as an underdog in the final week of the college football regular season. On Saturday, November 29, the 5-5 Cats will take on the 7-4 Louisville Cardinals inside L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium. Kickoff […]
Yesterday, we took an at bat by at bat look at how the Phillies were trying to attack Shohei Ohtani in the NLDS this season. Today, we’ll continue by looking at Game 2 of the matchup, one in which now, Ohtani can focus solely on his hitting. The yoke of his pitching the same game […]
It seems our debut with The Polling Studio was a success, with the added bonus of preventing duplicate votes, something Crowd Signal and Chorus before that did not do. So it is safer to say that the 108 votes last round came from 108 individual readers/voters. That is a good thing! Seeing the impressive advance […]
Cross one name off the list for the Houston Astros’ trade targets. According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, the St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to trade SP Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for minor league SP Brandon Clarke and SP Richard Fitts. The Cardinals are also paying down $20M of […]
The San Diego Padres drafted catcher Luis Campusano in the second round of the 2017 draft. He moved through the minors quickly, reaching the Padres in 2020 for a brief look. Around injuries and returns to the minor leagues, Campusano worked up the Padres prospect list with high hopes for his career. During all of […]
The Detroit Lions (7-4) needed overtime to get a win over the New York Giants (2-10), but wins are hard to come by in the NFL, and so it’s important not to dismiss this win too quickly. On the surface, a win over a team with the Giants’ record would be easily dismissed in the […]
Today our ‘Season in Review’ series turns back to starting pitching. Specifically, we’ll dive into the inaugural season of Jeffrey Springs, a 33-year-old lefty starter for the A’s. How was he acquired? Jeffrey Springs attended high school in Belmont, North Carolina and graduated from Appalachian State University in 2015. He was drafted out of ASU […]
One day after the Cubs signed Phil Maton to the franchise’s most significant free agent deal for a reliever since Craig Kimbrel, we were able to confirm that they would still be in the market for impact free-agent relievers . Pete Fairbanks is a name we’ve heard and discussed. Brad Keller could always make his way back to Chicago. And even Devin Williams, with his Craig Counsell connection, is an option, I’m told. But there’s another former NL Central closer, Ryan Helsley, reportedly on the Cu...
When he made his major league debut in 2018, Jonathan Loáisiga showed flashes of an electric arm that could be something if he ever could figure out the consistency thing. Flash forward seven years later, and he never quite figured out that consistency thing. A move to the bullpen proved out to be a good […]
The 2025 version of the Atlanta Braves bullpen was largely in disarray. That can happen as downstream effect when the entire Opening Day starting rotation is injured at the same time. 37 pitchers entered the game in relief last year. 37. The 1994 Atlanta Braves team had 31 players total. But one of the best […]
The hot stove has just started to boil. A new report says that the St. Louis Cardinals are trading Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox. This is being reported by MLB Trade Rumors based on a share by John Heyman of the New York Post on X. Jeff Passan reporting that the Cardinals are […]

Another week in the NFL has come and gone and it was the second week without Jaxson Dart for the New York Giants due to a concussion. I must say, Jameis Winston is fun as hell and Daboll should’ve been fired for ever playing Russell Wilson over him. Even though Dart was sidelined, there were […]
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation! With Thanksgiving around the corner, MLB’s offseason is defrosting with the turkeys. The Mets and Rangers made a one for one major league trade and the Mariners brought back Josh Naylor, but apart from that, there hasn’t been much movement. Maybe today’s the day we get a nice appetizer before […]
Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie class fared in a 24-10 home loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 12 and what it means looking ahead to Sunday’s road game at the Los Angeles Chargers. Ashton Jeanty: The No. 6 overall draft pick continues to play hard through a tough […]
The Tatsuya Imai rumor mill has yet to really pick up a lot of steam, though that’s perhaps unsurprising given that his posting period lasts into the new year. One thing making the rounds, however, was a translated bit from a Japanese appearance in which Imai discussed joining an MLB team with established stars from Japan: Ｑ.ドジャースのような優勝狙えるチームに行きたいのか？倒しにいくのか？ 今井達也 「倒したいですね。(大谷・山本・佐々木選手らと)一緒にプレーするのも、もちろん楽しそうだなと思うんですけど、ああいうチームに勝ってワールドチャンピオンになるのが自分の人生にとって一番価値がある」 #報ステ pic.twitter.com/CFB...
Free agent projections are out, and so it is that time again — time for the annual “should the Rangers sign This Player” polls. Today, we are looking at first baseman Ryan O’Hearn. O’Hearn is a 32 year old lefthanded hitting 1B/DH. He did not hit while with the Royals, where he spent parts of […]
Brandon Nimmo is well acquainted with the concept of top ten lists, as he currently ranks tenth in doubles, ninth in home runs, eighth in position player WAR, seventh in offensive WAR, sixth in runs scored, fifth in walks, and first in smiles across Mets history. Still, the act of choosing just ten moments to […]
Der Mensch tracht, un Gott lacht—“Man plans, god laughs”, when translated from Yiddish into English. Aaron Nola and the Phillies planned for seven seasons of steady, successful starts when they mutually agreed to the contract extension that will keep the Louisianan in Philadelphia through 2030. Then whatever divinity or divinities doles out pastime-related fates looked […]
In this episode of the Royals Rundown podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco welcome Royals insider David Lesky to dive deep into the Kansas City Royals’ ongoing offseason. They unpack a wide range of topics: Plus, they discuss how health, team chemistry, and smart roster construction could make or break the 2025 season. […]
Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). It’s not something the staff debated. We’ll begin with the player with the lowest rWAR and end up with the player with the highest. […]
In Mariners news… Around the league…
Let’s pivot from looking at possible Cubs free agent signings and instead, check out some starting pitchers who will likely be available by trade. Some of these guys were the same starters that many teams, including the Cubs, tried to acquire at last summer’s deadline. Exactly zero of these pitchers were traded, reportedly because the […]
