The Arizona Cardinals search continues for the next head coach and Jess and I are back to talk about that and more. This episode Jess and I discuss how the Cardinals ended up being leveraged to get deals done for two of their options, then we discuss the news on the Bills and their coaches, […]
While the main theme of the Tiger farm system is the group of top shelf prospects leading the way, the other big story in the system is a pretty disastrous run of pitcher injuries over the last two years. They’ve invested pretty heavily in prep pitching over the last three drafts, and right now they […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are continuing their head-coaching search as they are interviewing Brian Daboll. Let’s get to know Daboll some more: Last job: He was fired as the New York Giants head coach in the 2025 season after being hired in 2022. He was 20-40-1 as a head coach. Age: He is 50. Coaching […]
Shortly after I wrote about the potential of a CJ Abrams trade, a report came out that the Giants seriously pursued the Nats shortstop, but were unable to reach a deal. The fact that this leaked out right after the Gore trade is very interesting and makes me wonder about the timing. It also makes […]
Let’s brave the elements and the Hokies. Go Cards.
When a standout player who has been with your organization his entire career wants to stay with you, you listen. That’s what Yankees general manager Brian Cashman did when Jorge Posada became a free agent after the 2007 campaign. A five-time All-Star and switch-hitting Silver Slugger, Posada would’ve been a boon for any team on […]
As Phillies fans hope that the team has another big move left in them (Don’t hold your breath!), I decided to take a look at recent offseasons to see how many big moves they’ve made closer to the start of camp. Then, as one does, I decided to make the exercise into an interactive March […]
Day 6 of the Chicago Bears offseason. The Chicago sports media landscape lost a legend on Friday with the passing of Terry Boers. A former Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Boers might be best known for being one of the most influential people in the history of this city’s sports radio scene. His shows with Dan Bernstein (and earlier, Dan McNeil) were game-changers. Those shows launched the careers of producers, radio hosts, execs, and other folks in this industry. They also opened a path for sport...
MLB Pipeline on Friday evening revealed its top 100 prospects heading into the 2026 season, including five Dodgers. Outfielders are the strength of the top of the Dodgers system, including their top four prospects at MLB Pipeline plus shortstop Emil Morales. Josue De Paula is the top-ranked Dodgers prospect at MLB Pipeline, rated 15th overall, […]
The second round was a much closer race this time around between left-handers Jamie Arnold and Gage Jump. Arnold came out on top though with roughly 60% of the vote, taking the second overall spot in this year’s Community Prospect List. The 11th overall pick in the draft just this past year, Arnold is further […]
By the end of the Jets’ disastrous 2025 season, the noise would be deafening. Same headlines, same arguments, same familiar question. How does this keep happening? Now imagine Aaron Glenn still standing, but bruised making a quiet trip to see Bill Parcells. No cameras. No quotes. Just football truth. Parcells isn’t drawing up blitz packages […]
Here’s another photo sent to me by BCB reader Joe Coney. I sleuthed one of his scoreboard photos last weekend and this is another one. So, what do we know about this photo? The Cubs are playing the Giants. Again, as in the last photo, it has to be between 1978 and 1981, because the […]
In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco take a comprehensive look at the Kansas City Royals’ infield and prospect pipeline as the offseason unfolds. The hosts break down infield rankings, examine what a “down year” really means for Bobby Witt Jr., and discuss why players like Maikel Garcia, […]
Neil Allen had a perfectly nice 11-year career as a major-league pitcher, mostly out of the bullpen. Parts of three of those seasons came with the Yankees, across two different stints. He was generally pretty solid, albeit on teams that fell short of the postseason, despite over-.500 records. After his playing career, he went into […]
Yesterday, I took a look at the Boise State Broncos softball team, a team which will be going through a likely difficult transition year after losing six of their seven best hitters in the offseason. Today, it’s time for the team that went through nearly the exact same thing last season that the Broncos will […]
With the Nationals receiving five legitimate prospects in the MacKenzie Gore trade, there is a lot for us to break down. As I dug into the package, Devin Fitz-Gerald is a name that really intrigues me. On paper, he is probably the third piece in the deal, but I think there is a good chance […]
Good morning, LSB. Shawn McFarland writes about Jacob Latz’s chances at the starting rotation, which got a little cloudier with the acquisition of MacKenzie Gore. Sebastian Walcott is the 7th-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline’s updated rankings. The Athletic grades the Gore trade. And Nathan Eovaldi is the most recent guest on Evan […]
After the departures of Edwin Díaz, Ryne Stanek, Tyler Rogers, and Gregory Soto and injuries to Reed Garrett and Dedniel Núñez, the Mets needed to do some work to rebuild their bullpen this offseason. And work has been done. The Mets have added four pieces from outside the organization who will likely fill important roles […]
Anne Rogers writes about position players that could get invited to spring training. We’ll see Collins in left field the majority of the time, while Thomas will move among all three spots. The Royals touted Collins’ ability to play second base when they acquired him, giving them flexibility, so it’ll be interesting to see whether […]
Hello friends! Happy Saturday to you all. While I understand the weather is calm in Seattle this weekend, I hope my fellow east coasters (and those in the south and midwest) stay safe from the storm. Here’s what’s going on in baseball as we get the weekend underway. In Mariners news… Around the league…
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick offered a positive update on the status of midfielder Gavi and left the door open for Ronald Araujo to make his first start in over two months in Sunday’s La Liga match against Real Oviedo. Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Flick gave a very optimistic-sounding answer on the chances […]
This round was so close, we had to conduct an internal staff poll to break the tie so we could proceed in hopes of getting a few more Votes in. It came down to two players taking big leaps on the ballot, Gage Ziehl and Alexander Albertus. It was Ziehl who prevailed, with 11 of […]
Sportswriter Joon Lee recently posted a video to YouTube where he tries to shed light on why the Los Angeles Dodgers seem to have an endless stream of money with which to pay the top players in the game. The back-to-back World Series Champions made waves in MLB with the signing of free agent outfielder […]
San Jose showed exactly what a real youth movement looks like, while the Rangers took penalties, chased the puck, and offered another grim preview of life after the sell-off.
The New York Rangers have been discussing multiple trades the past few weeks and one Ranger who is drawing the most trade interest is two-way center, Vincent Trocheck Trocheck, 32, is one of the few Rangers' trade candidates who doesn't have a full no-movement clause. He holds a 12-team no-trade list so there's certainly some say in the matter, but GM Chris Drury has some options if he wants to pull the trigger. Trocheck's appeared in 38 games this season, scoring 11 times and adding 21 points...
