In what should not come as much of a surprise, Paul Toboni made a trade with his old club, the Boston Red Sox. The trade itself is a bit surprising and a bit random. It is a prospect for prospect swap, with the Nationals trading Jake Bennett to the Red Sox for Luis Perales. Both […]
The Jays made the signing of Tyler Rogers official. He’s getting three-years and $37 million with an option for a fourth year. His ERA was 1.98 for the Giants last year. I’ll hope for the same this year To make room, the team has DFAed Justin Bruihl. He pitched 13.2 innings for the Jays this […]
The movement on the Arizona Cardinals coaching staff has begun, and it starts with one of their new hires, as Winston DeLattiboudere has decided to go back to the collegiate ranks as he will go be a defensive line coach with the Michigan State Spartans. The Arizona Cardinals defensive line has been underwhelming this year, […]

Three seasons after leaving the WCC, BYU plays an old WCC foe when Pacific comes to the Marriott Center Tuesday evening. This is the second of a four-game homestand for BYU to end non-conference play against lower tier opponents. Pacific is the best of the four teams by a wide margin. They have a KenPom […]
One way or another, the Chicago Cubs are expected to supplement their rotation this offseason. The question is whether that addition will come via free agency or trade. Even here in the middle of December, both markets remain ripe with options, and I tend to believe their path could be dictated by what happens elsewhere with free agents like Michael King or Alex Bregman . In any case, one of the pitchers often connected to the Cubs is Nationals starter MacKenzie Gore. So that’s who w...
The latest news and rumors for the Houston Astros and from around MLB – it’s in here! Today’s offseason Crawfish Boil for December 15, 2025: That’s a good amount of deferred money, and a conditional option that kicks in if the following happens per Ronald Blum of the AP: Los Angeles has a $6.5 million […]
Per Houston Texans’ head coach Demeco Ryans, stud defensive tackle Mario Edwards Jr. suffered a pectoral injury in yesterday’s victory against the Arizona Cardinals. This will be a solid test for the culture of Ryans’ defense. The “next man up”, whether that’s Naquan Jones, Junior Tafuna, Marlon Davidson or someone else, will need to hit […]
Today’s a pretty slow day in Braves Country, as you could imagine considering that we’re about to enter that portion of the offseason where moves and transactions tend to slow down a little bit. As such, we’ve got a little bit of housekeeping to talk about — it’s a tiny bit of sad news as […]
Dan Quinn spoke to reporters for “Tell the Truth Monday”. It was reported that Jayden Daniels was getting shut down for the season, and Quinn confirmed those reports at the start of his presser. Quinn said that Daniels isn’t cleared for contact, and there is a short week, then another quick turnaround for the Christmas […]
We’re all sitting around waiting for the San Francisco Giants to make some moves. It seems they won’t, so let’s instead look at the prospects, and continue on with our Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List. We’re almost halfway through ranking the top 44 prospects in the system! The next name to come off the […]
With Jose A. Ferrer being dealt to the Mariners for Harry Ford, it is no secret that the Nationals need help in the back end of the bullpen. Even before the Ferrer trade, the Nats bullpen was the worst in all of baseball and needed help. Now the Nats have very few established relievers and […]
The Rangers open their reunion night without Mika Zibanejad, who was held out for missing a team meeting, prompting major power-play adjustments and delaying his on-ice meeting with old friends.
Astros general manager Dana Brown gave a very telling quote while talking with reporters in Orlando at last week’s winter meetings in his quest to improve his team’s roster. “Most of these teams, they’re not really asking much about the young prospects right now, so there’s a chance that we may have to trade from […]
MLB RUMORS — Munetaka Murakami, the younger, homer-happy free agent slugger from Japan with strikeout issues, has until December 22 at 4pm CT to sign with a big league team. If he doesn’t, he’ll have to head back to Japan. So … how come there are literally NO rumors about his potential interests or suitors? Even Ken Rosenthal, who still expects Murakami to land a deal before time expires next Monday, concedes that “his destination remains a mystery.” It’s pretty odd, especially now that ...
What exactly is the state of play vis a vis a potential Jarren Duran trade with the Royals? Here’s one MLB insider who seems to be implying three somewhat contradictory things: (1) Kansas City is actively targeting Duran, (2) the Red Sox are asking for Cole Ragens in return, and (3) the trade talks themselves […]
The Colorado Rockies announced the hire of Ian Levin on Monday afternoon as an assistant general manager under Paul DePodesta and Josh Byrnes. Levin spent nearly 20 years of his professional career with the New York Mets organization. He first joined the Mets in 2005 as a media relations intern and later a baseball operations […]
Jonathan Gannon. If there was any one game that signaled to the world the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles were in the midst of a collapse the likes of which few NFL teams had ever seen, it was Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals at Lincoln Financial Field. The Cards limped into Philly with a 3-12 record […]
The Princeton Tigers (10-1) will attempt to build on an eight-game win streak when they hit the road to take on the George Mason Patriots (6-5) on December 20, 2025 at EagleBank Arena.

Eight years have passed since the last Cubs position player to pitch, Doug Dascenzo, who pitched in four games for the team covering five innings. There was great hope for the 1999 Cubs entering the season. And, in fact, the team started out well. After defeating the Diamondbacks June 8, they were 32-23 and just […]
The Mets bolstered their outfield depth and defense today by adding outfielder Cristian Pache to a minor league contract. Pache, who last played in the majors in 2024, has played for the Braves, Athletics, Phillies, Orioles, and Marlins. The contract also includes an invitation to major league spring training. Pache is a defensive specialist with […]
The Arizona Diamondbacks have officially reunited with a key part of their rotation, agreeing to a two-year, $40 million contract with right-hander Merrill Kelly. It was a move many were hoping for this off-season, bringing The Mainstay back to the desert where he and his family live. The deal likely keeps him in a D-backs […]
The Dodgers finalized their contract for closer Edwin Díaz on Friday, signing the veteran closer for three years and $69 million. At $23 million per year, Díaz has the largest reliever contract by average annual value in baseball history, breaking his own record. Much like several Dodgers contracts in recent years, Díaz has deferred money […]
Time to get the bell-related puns out of the way, as the Twins made their first major-league move of the offseason by signing Josh Bell. Other than that, the winter meetings went by without too much fanfare, with the Twins making a selection in the Rule 5 draft, only to promptly trade that pick away. […]
