Well, John Harbaugh did leave the New York Giants without agreeing to become their next head coach. That’s the good news. The bad news is that he is not scheduled to travel to any other facilities to meet with teams. It can’t be a good sign that he isn’t going anywhere else. Dianna Russini is […]
Earlier today, it was announced that the Arizona Diamondbacks had traded for Cardinals’ third baseman Nolan Arenado. The Cardinals are eating $31M of the $42M left on the remaining two years of Arenado’s deal. The Cardinals have been trying to unload Arenado for two offseasons. He famously rejected a deal to the Astros last year […]

Yesterday, we heard from GM Mike Hazen about why he carried out the trade which brought third baseman Nolan Arenado to the desert. Today, it’s the turn of the player to talk about why he agreed to come to Arizona, what he brings to the table, both on and off the field, and what his […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Ranger Suarez, and he comes to Boston via major league free agency. He signed for five years and $130 million. He did have a qualifying offer attached, so the Red Sox will forfeit two draft picks and $1 million in international bonus pool money. Suarez […]
Mets pitchers and catchers will have their first official 2026 spring training workout on Wednesday, February 11, and position players will get their workouts underway on Monday, February 16. From there, the team’s Grapefruit League schedule will get underway in pretty short order, as the Mets are set to host the Marlins for their first […]
Missouri continued its rebuild of the secondary through the transfer portal Wednesday, securing the commitment of Oregon cornerback Sione Laulea. The Mountain View, California, native is expected to have one year of eligibility remaining. Laulea became the second former Duck to commit to the Tigers this offseason, joining fellow cornerback Jahlil Florence. He appeared in […]
The Yankees finally made their first notable external addition on Tuesday night following weeks of dormancy, acquiring left-handed starting pitcher Ryan Weathers from the Marlins for a package of four prospects. My colleague Michael provided the immediate breakdown of the trade, Weathers’ performance in his five big league seasons, and the prospects heading in the […]
It was about as big a weekend in Chicago sports as any of us have experienced since 2016. With all due respect to four playoff teams the Cubs have had since 2016 and the 2020-21 White Sox, they didn’t quite ignite the same frenzy in Chicagoland we saw on Saturday. First the Bears came back […]
Riddle me this, Batman. Now that the St. Louis Cardinals have banked millions of dollars by making significant veteran trades this offseason, what can they do to prove to the fans that they’re dedicated to winning? Would you sign a major free agent or negotiate a major extension with one of your core young players? […]
It won’t get the headlines of a major trade or free agent signing, but maneuvering within the Chicago Cubs’ front office is nevertheless very important. Every year in the offseason we see movement, sometimes departures, sometimes outside hires, often promotions, and this year, Tyler Zombro getting the bump to VP of Pitching isn’t the only move. The Cubs have also announced that Garrett Chiado has been promoted to Assistant General Manager, joining Jared Banner and Ehsan Bokhari as the AGM...
There had been a quiet buzz for weeks that Dante Moore might bypass the 2026 NFL Draft and return to Eugene for another season. That chatter only grew louder as draft order clarity emerged — particularly with the New York Jets holding the No. 2 overall pick and looming as a likely landing spot. For many quarterbacks, that path would be hard to ignore. Early first-round draft capital, a life-changing contract, and the chance to begin an NFL career often outweigh concerns about fit or franc...
MLB Rumors: The Boston Red Sox and Ranger Suarez have agreed to terms on a five year, $130 million deal, per reports. Suarez, a 30 year old lefthanded starter, has spent his entire career up to this point with the Philadelphia Phillies, who signed him as an international free agent in 2012. After getting a […]
Well that came out of nowhere. One of the last few remaining big name starting pitcher free agents is now off the board, with the Boston Red Sox LEAPING into their first free agent signing of the offseason. Ranger Suarez is off to Boston: Source confirms: Free-agent LHP Ranger Suárez in agreement with Red Sox on five-year, $130M contract. First: @JonHeyman , @BNightengale — Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) January 14, 2026 The deal is quite large, but is roughly in the range...
Since news emerged last week that the Detroit Tigers and their ace left-hander, Tarik Skubal, were $13 million apart in arbitration numbers, the whole thing has quickly blown up into a proxy for everything distasteful about the business of sports, and every frustration surrounding the Tigers, specifically. The arbitration battle gets into every aspect of […]
You know we’re getting closer to baseball when Spring Training report dates are made official by Major League Baseball and its teams. Cubs pitchers and catchers have an official report date of Wednesday, Feb. 11 — that’s just four weeks from now! The first full squad workout is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 16. Cubs position […]
2024 was a pleasant surprise for the Nats in terms of the SP as while Gore didn't develop as he should, Trevor Williams pitched like a near ace for the third of the season he was healthy and Jake Irvin, Mitchell Parker, and DJ Herz all surpassed expectations. Yes, that only meant they were all "usable" but a staff of an near ace, a stretch 2, and three average arms is pretty good, especially on a shoestring budget So the Nats basically pushed to repeat the year with FA pick up Michael So...
Folks, we are officially less than a month away from starting to hear the crack of the bat and baseballs hitting mitts once again. It’ll be here before you know it, as Major League Baseball has officially revealed via press release the first workout dates for every team in baseball. As the title mentioned, pitchers […]
The Tampa Bay Rays today announced details for the 2026 Fan Fest Block Party presented by Visit St. Pete-Clearwater, taking place from 1–5 p.m. on Saturday, February 14 outside Tropicana Field along 16th St. N. in St. Petersburg. This event is free, but fans must claim a ticket to attend. This year’s event will kick […]
Eric Sogard, who played one year for the Cubs as a spare-part infielder, was the last of three position players who pitched in a 10-0 loss to the Braves in Atlanta, April 28, 2021. We’ve looked at the others the last two days — Anthony Rizzo and Matt Duffy. Sogard entered to throw the bottom […]
Well, I’m expecting a bit of a procession here. I may have already started work on the announcement article, to be honest. 🙂 But, hey, I think it’s fair to say that this year worked better on an individual level for the team, than as a collective. We got to enjoy some stellar personal performances, […]
