When Chris Getz gets a hunch, brother does he run it into the ground. In the last calendar year, the White Sox have made 21 trades, purchases or sales with other teams, starting with the Garrett Crochet blockbuster with Boston, and 10 of those deals have been with the Rays and Red Sox. Since the […]
The Kansas Legislative Coordinating Council will meet Monday to consider a deal to lure the Chiefs to Kansas. Top Kansas lawmakers have previously said they would not entertain a stadium deal after the end of the year, despite the fact that the STAR bonds program was renewed until June 2026. The Royals will not be […]
Meet the Mets The Mets held their annual holiday party yesterday at Citi Field. Clay Holmes served as Santa Claus, while a trio of young Mets hurlers—Nolan McLean, Brandon Sproat, and Jonah Tong—were the elves. Tong reiterated that he loves being a Mets, saying, “It’s truly one of the coolest things I’ve ever done in […]
The holiday lull is in full effect and there’s hardly anything cooking for the Atlanta Braves at the moment. However, shortly after the holidays comes the arbitration deadline, and the Braves do have several arbitration-eligible players. Until we reach that point, our player review series is ongoing, and next up, we take a look at […]
Mansoor Delane’s one year in Baton Rouge is going to be his only year in Baton Rouge as the star transfer cornerback announced his intention to enter the 2026 NFL Draft. Delane is a projected first round pick and looks to be the first cornerback off the board when the draft starts Thursday April 23. […]
It’s the holiday season and, even if your favorite baseball team isn’t being as generous as you’d like, that doesn’t mean you should follow its example. If you’re looking for a Red Sox-themed gift for friends or loved ones, here are some favorites from the OTM staff. A puzzle, a snuggy, and a creepy bobblehead […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Good morning.
Good morning, baseball fans! As we are getting closer to the holidays, I thought we could take some time to revisit some of the San Francisco Giants’ best games. Or at least a few of my personal favorites. To start things off, we have one of the most iconic games of all time. And that […]
A few weeks ago, we examined the high expectations heading into the 2016 Minnesota Twins season. In fact, excitement was at such a premium that a new season ticket holder entered the fold! For most of my life, I lived a considerable drive—3+ hours—from the Metrodome. As such, my live game attendance was perhaps 5-8 […]
Braves History 2014 – A busy off-season continues with several trades and signings. The Padres acquire their third starting outfielder in a few days, landing Justin Upton from the Braves for four prospects. MLB History 1983 – Former Cy Young Award winner Vida Blue is sentenced to 90 days in prison, and recently convicted and […]
Before reading this article, you should check out Paul’s coverage of the Ángel Zerpa trade and Harrison’s article on what to expect from Zerpa. Last week, the Brewers traded Isaac Collins and Nick Mears to the Royals in exchange for lefty reliever Ángel Zerpa, who had a 4.18 ERA last season. This is a trade […]
It’s been 82 days since the Rockies 2025 season ended. In 98 days, the 2026 season will begin. Despite a nearly complete overhaul of the front office and coaching staff, one thing doesn’t look very different yet: the Colorado Rockies roster. Despite inking a handful of minor-league contracts and making one minor-league trade, the Rockies and the Boston Red Sox remain the only MLB teams that haven’t signed a free agent […]
There are many things different about the way baseball is played from 1957 to today. There’s probably not anything that makes that more apparent than pitcher usage in general. These days, pitchers don’t throw nearly as many innings as they used to, as teams rely heavier on bullpens than they used to. Complete games are […]
This 2025 NFL season hasn’t been what was expected from the Arizona Cardinals. In a division full of some of the league’s best ballclubs, the Cardinals aren’t one of them. But there are silver linings. And with some, you don’t have to look too hard. Arizona tight end Trey McBride might be this year’s brightest […]
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Bleed Cubbie Blue is pleased to present a Cubs-centric look at baseball’s colorful past. Here’s a handy Cubs timeline, to help you follow the various narrative paths. “Maybe I called it wrong, but it’s official.” — Tom Connolly, HoF Umpire. Today we feature financial skullduggery and other such fare, just the thing for a holiday […]
Xmas is almost here! One more day of work, and then it’s the weekend before the week of Christmas. So cue up your favorite Christmas tunes, deck the halls, and make sure to put out some cookies so Dombrowski-claus will leave a free agent signing under your tree. Phillies news Per ESPN’s Jeff Passan, Matt […]
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 […]
The Villanova Wildcats (8-2) will attempt to continue a six-game winning streak when they host the Seton Hall Pirates (7-3) on December 19, 2025 at The William B. Finneran Pavilion. In its previous game, Villanova topped Saint Joseph’s (PA) on Sunday, 76-70. Its leading scorer was Brynn McCurry with 21 points. In its previous game, Seton Hall beat Washington State on Tuesday, 74-65. Zahara Bishop scored a team-high 19 points (and contributed zero assists and 10 boards). Catch tons of live ...
