Good morning, folks… You will be shocked to know that the baseball news is pretty sparse. Jackson Chourio is among the MLB players who were participating in the Venezuelan Winter League playoffs, which have been suspended due to the American attack on the country. JPL third baseman Kazuma Okamoto is reportedly headed to the Blue […]
The New York Yankees’ quiet offseason has continued into the new year as we sit about a month and a half from pitchers and catchers reporting to their spring training complex in Tampa. On Sunday morning though, news broke of them reportedy coming to terms with a name that many baseball fans have heard of, […]
What should Rangers fans resolve to change in 2026? And what should Chris Drury do first? The Banter staff weighs patience, acceptance, selling, and swinging big as the calendar turns.
The Arizona Cardinals will take on the Los Angeles Rams today in a game the Rams fully need to win. A win gives them the fifth seed in the NFC playoff race, and will allow them a slightly easier first round route taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before they get to the meat of […]
In Mariners news… Around the league… Nick’s pick…
Jose Miranda was another veteran player who agreed to a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres and has an invite to Spring Training. He is just one of several such additions that have been made by the Padres as they look to build their organizational depth without investing much money so they can […]
From Fox being left off Team USA to mounting pressure from ownership and media alike, the Rangers’ uneasy present—and murkier future—dominate this week’s Media Bytes.
I didn’t realize that when we bought our house that we were moving into the Chainsaw District of town. This part of town is all about their chainsaws and lawn mowers and leaf blowers and weed eaters. And prime time for all of that is Saturday morning from 730-930am. It’s like the leaf blowers are […]
Meet the Mets MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo explained his reasoning for voting for David Wright when casting his first Hall of Fame ballot—that his peak rivaled anyone in his era and the all-time greats and should be given consideration just as much as accumulating stats over a longer career. “The clubhouse in 2024 compared to last […]
You may have noticed, you may not have, but the card collecting business has grown exponentially in the past decade or so. Maybe it was the pandemic that led people back into their closets to search for cardboard gold, but since then, the hobby has grown and grown and grown. Let’s say that you wanted […]
Replacing a legend is never easy, to the point where there is often a thing people say in sports that you never want to replace the legend, you want to replace the person who is replacing the legend. At least in recent Yankees’ history, the team did manage to replace one legend somewhat successfully, as […]
Like most teams, the A’s had a winter shopping list. It included improving themselves at 2B, adding to their bullpen, and working out extensions for their young core players. The good news is the A’s have addressed all 3 areas with the additions of Jeff McNeil, Mark Leiter Jr., and the recent 7 year extension […]
At long last, it’s finally over. Well, almost over. The Cowboys’ 2025 season went from promising to discouraging to hopeful and then nightmarish. They’re out of the playoffs now and face a Giants team with no playoff hopes of their own to spoil. All that’s left, as they say, is the shouting, and it has […]
It is officially 2026 and the two most necessary players for the St. Louis Cardinals to trade remain in the organization as Spring Training is five short weeks away. In my opinion, both Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan should be dealt before March in order to get this Chaim Bloom-led rebuild headed in the right […]
After No. 5 LSU lost their SEC opener to No. 11 Kentucky on Thursday, Reed Darcey, the women’s basketball reporter for The Advocate, shared on social media that, under head coach Kim Mulkey, the Tigers have not beaten an SEC opponent ranked in the top 12 in the AP poll.

Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Spring training is not too far in the distance with the Dodgers having their first cactus league game in seven weeks against the Angels. With plenty of star talent still available for the taking both in the open market and on the trade block, the Dodgers are playing with precious time to complete their offseason […]
Well, it looks like Alex Bregman or bust now. It’s easy to be discouraged by the lack of progress on the team-building front. These are not good times. I remember when the ballboy (actually clubhouse attendant Francisco “Chico” Herrera) played left field for the Dodgers. The Cubs might want to field Fabian De Hoyos. He’s […]

Ted Lilly turns 50 today. Ted had a 15-year career, 3 of them with the Blue Jays. He came to the Jays in trade for Bobby Kielty from the A’s. Lilly went 37-34 as a Jay, with a 4.52 ERA in 89 games and a bWAR of 6.0. I think we won the trade. In […]

A new week and another missed opportunity for the Phillies to dip their toes into the Japanese market. I will continue to believe that each season’s payroll will have a sizable chunk carved out for the right player to join their team from Japan. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Hello, friends. There are now 81 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. Just a month and five days stand between now and World Baseball Classic-participating pitchers and catchers reporting to Sarasota. It’s getting close. Going into the offseason, everyone was wondering if the Orioles would do a big move to fortify the top of their […]
