Good morning, Camden Chatters. It’s time for your daily Orioles pitching update: The Orioles have not signed any pitchers yet. This has been your daily Orioles pitching update. Meanwhile, there’s some rotten news about a former Orioles All-Star pitcher, John Means. The lefty posted on Instagram that he tore his Achilles earlier this week, just […]

1914 Charles Comiskey paid to keep a star opposing pitcher in the American League? Indeed, the White Sox owner, in fear of Walter Johnson jumping from the AL’s Washington Senators to the Chifeds (Chicago Whales) of the new Federal League and creating a second legitimate rival for Chicago fan dollars beyond the Cubs, did just […]

Beau Pribula announced he would be entering the transfer portal… again. After just one season with the Tigers. The coverage links are downstream a bit but I wanted to spring my own takes to lead things off. I’m not surprised Pribula is opting to enter the transfer portal after just the one year with Mizzou. […]

The Commanders entered Week 15 with a question to answer. Were they the team that fought the Denver Broncos through a nail-biting loss in overtime, or was the team that got shut out by the Minnesota Vikings the following week closer to their true identity. The 29-21 road victory over the division rival Giants was […]

The offseason saw some motion on Thursday, with Michael King inking a new deal to go back to the Padres. King wasn’t quite at the top of the starting pitcher market after an injury-marked 2025, but his transition into the rotation the last two years has been a resounding success and he got paid for […]

I have nothing to add in regard to Dustin May that hasn’t already been said. A plan and direction seem to be emerging. I will continue to watch, turn the pages and see how the story unfolds. In the meantime, I’ve tried to assemble more mental floss as the off-season slowly unfolds. This is a […]

The Minnesota Vikings will hit the road to take on the New York Giants of New Jersey. The two teams are playing out the string with their young QBs at the helm. Jaxson Dart (with an ‘x’ because his parents are cool) has shown flashes of promise in his rookie year. Series Record: 19-13 Road […]

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The Yankees hadn’t selected anyone in the Rule 5 Draft since 2011, until they took Cade Winquest this year. What possessed them to turn the tables and actually take a player in the Rule 5 for once? “He’s got big velocity,” assistant GM Michael Fishman said. “He has characteristics that our […]

Although the free agent relief market has been extremely active of late, the free agent starter market hasn’t really gotten going. Dylan Cease’s big deal with the Blue Jays was over two weeks ago, and none of the other big-name free agent starters have signed since ( unless you count Merrill Kelly ). Until tonight! According to multiple reports, rumored Cubs free agent target Michael King has a new home. Well, an old home, new again. Let me state that more clearly: He’s going back to...

Rather than setting the topic, I thought I’d just leave a link to Thomas Harding’s weekly newsletter that’s been largely overlooked in terms of our discussion here. In it, he talks with the Colorado Rockies’ new pitching coach, Alon Leichman about his coaching history and pitching at elevation. Beyond that, I leave the evening’s agenda […]

It's become the common phrase around the NHL for teams looking to make a big splash in the trade market. There have been a few teams already said to be 'Big Game Hunting' this season, including the usual suspects like the Carolina Hurricanes and the Dallas Stars, as well as the Utah Mammoth. But now we get to add the New York Rangers to that list, courtesy of David Pagnotta. The Fourth Period insider appeared on Daily Faceoff LIVE on Thursday, and he discussed the Rangers' desire to make...

In 2023 Gelof took the league by storm after being called up and in 2024 he regressed to being “only decent”. But his power, speed, and defense still left hope that his floor was high and his ceiling higher. But then the ground opened up and the floor deepened…2025 was, really, an unmitigated disaster from […]

We haven’t even made it to Christmas and Bayern Munich are already almost 10 points clear of everyone else, with a whopping goal difference of +40. Absurd. As a result, these Bundesliga roundups have been a little more intermittent. There just isn’t enough to talk about! However, the good news is that the relegation race […]

While the MLB Hot Stove rumor mill continues to swirl with prospective free agent signings and trade deals, the San Diego Padres continue to be mentioned frequently with regard to major trades.

The Cleveland Guardians and reliever Shawn Armstrong have agreed to terms on a one year, $5.5 million deal, per reports.

This was not an expected signing by the Chicago Cubs baseball team: Hmm, I said. This is not a player I’m familiar with, and probably, neither are you. Tyler Austin was the Yankees’ 13th round pick out of high school in Georgia in 2013. He made his MLB debut in 2016 and played parts of […]

Paul Toboni made a surprising but exciting decision yesterday when he named Ani Kilambi the new general manager of the Washington Nationals. As the GM, Kilambi will serve as the second in command to Toboni, handling more of the day-to-day aspects, including, but not limited to, waiver claims and lower-level trades. At just 31 years […]
