The Tigers are ready to roar as they take the track at the Show-Me Showdown this Friday, Jan. 16, at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo. Last Year’s Show-Me Showdown Last year, Petra Gomez placed second at the 2025 Show-Me Showdown, recording 18.46 meters in the weight throw. Alongside her, Delilah Pippen also set a […]
Happy Thursday everyone. Friday is almost here! We finally know the exact date that the A’s will begin getting together. As always, the pitchers and catchers draw the short end of the stick and have their offseasons end early, reporting to camp days before their position-player teammates are expected to arrive. Some position players arrive […]
Good morning everyone and happy International Free Agent Signing Day! Let’s check in on all of the happenings from around the sport. In Mariners news… Around the league… Anders’ pick
The Washington Nationals have shared MASN (Mid Atlantic Sports Network) with the Baltimore Orioles since the team moved to DC from Montreal in 2005. The Orioles own the channel and so that relationship has been contentious at times. Lawsuits regarding this relationship were finally resolved last year, but this week the Nationals announced they were […]
It seems all great, young teams need that one guy who’s been through it before. We just saw the Toronto Blue Jays on a World Series chase with Max Scherzer holding court in the dugout every night, and for the 2017 Baby Bomber Yankee team, that man was Matt Holliday… or at least he was […]
The last time the Kansas City Royals sold out two back-to-back home games at Kauffman Stadium was the 2024 playoffs. But the Savannah Bananas did so in two random evenings last May. I was in attendance for one of those games, where the Bananas played the Firefighters in a brisk two-hour event, dictated as such […]
With all the infield rumors swirling and the Red Sox third base situation thrown in flux in the aftermath of Alex Bregman signing with the Cubs, Marcello Mayer’s role grows more interesting. He’s never played more than 91 games in a season, but boy does he look the part defensively whether you play him at […]
The Washington Nationals have had to make a lot of hires this offseason. There has been a pattern in the type of people they are bringing into the organization though. Most of the hires are young, analytically inclined people. One place where you can find a lot of those types of people is Driveline Baseball, […]
The San Diego Padres are reuniting with two former members of the organization. It was reported Wednesday that former manager Bud Black and former All-Star Wil Myers are joining the front office. Black is going to be a senior advisor to baseball operations and Myers will be a special assignment coach in the player development […]
Get ready for a wave of new Chicago Cubs prospects. Starting today, Major League Baseball organizations may finally make officially official the deals they’ve wink-wink had in place, in some cases, for years. International amateurs are eligible to sign for a portion of each club’s allotted (and hard-capped) bonus pool, officially becoming professional baseball players. Although this period runs through December 15, most of the top prospects will sign today. Moreover, the Chicago Cubs...
On September 1, 2020 the Red Sox, in the midst of a crazy year in every sense of the word, decided to go for broke with a completely unhinged tweet: The text on the tweet read “iykyk,” which stands for, “If you know, you know.” The Red Sox were referencing the team resetting the luxury […]
The Rangers are toast, the locker room feels hollow, and patience is officially gone. Joe and Eric argue about blame, leadership, and what burning it down really means.
With one month to go until pitchers and catchers report, the Orioles can’t be considered a finished product as yet. Another high-end starting pitcher appears to be the top priority — although the options are dwindling there — but the Birds could use some help in the bullpen, too. New closer Ryan Helsley and reacquired […]
The Braves don’t currently have a TV partner, as we explained earlier this week. The owners of FanDuel Sports Network have made a last-ditch attempt to carry the nine teams, and boy is it a doozy. Last week, nine MLB teams terminated their contracts with Fanduel Sports Network’s owners after a roughly four-year saga including […]
It wasn’t unexpected, but the news of Ranger Suárez’ departure from Philadelphia still came with a touch of somberness. Yesterday it was reported that the lefty agreed to a five year, $130M contract with the Boston Red Sox. Suárez is leaving the only organization he’s ever known in the Phillies, as he signed with the […]
MASN announced today that it will broadcast a record 20 spring training games this year, beginning February 20 against the Yankees at Ed Smith Stadium. That’s more than double the eight games aired last season, and it means Orioles fans will get an extended look at the organization’s next wave of talent earlier than expected. […]
From Gretzky banners to Olympic roster myths, the Ombudsman is back to clean up another week of podcast inaccuracies.
Meet the Mets The Mets have reportedly upped their offer to four years for All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker. Mark your calendars! Mets pitchers and catchers report on February 11, which means we are less than a month away from the return of baseball. What can be expected out of the Mets’ talented trio of young […]
Rance Mulliniks turns 70 today. Rance was one of my favourite players because he seemed to get the absolute most out of his natural abilities. He wasn’t big or fast. He wore glasses. A left-handed hitter, geeky looking, wore glasses. How could I not like him? You didn’t think ‘professional athlete’ when you looked at […]

The Miami Dolphins were interested in John Harbaugh — but John Harbaugh was not interested in the Miami Dolphins. Late on Wednesday night, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that former longtime Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and the New York Giants were working towards finalizing a deal that would bring the Super Bowl winning […]
On Wednesday, Beats unveiled a new ad campaign with Shohei Ohtani, characterizing him as literally larger than life. “Los Angeles is a city of energy, culture, and ambition,” Ohtani said in a press release. “Wearing Beats and seeing myself rise above the skyline feels symbolic of the connection I have with this city and our […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Today marks the beginning of MLB’s 2026 international prospects signing period, as all 30 teams can now freely vie for the top amateur talent across the globe. Of course, verbal agreements with a number of prospects have likely already been reached, so even as the period only just opens on January 15th, we’re likely to […]
Over the weekend, the Chicago Cubs made a free-agent splash that they haven’t made in some time when they signed third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million deal. It is the largest contract by average annual value in the Cubs’ history, and the third-largest in terms of total value, behind the eight-year deal […]
