There is a race for the No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2026 NFL draft with just three games remaining in the regular season and the Las Vegas Raiders are in the thick of the mix. Let’s take a closer look of where things stand: New York Giants, 1 spot, 2-12 rec0rd: Remaining schedule: […]
Before he was Cubs manager for four years, before he was a World Series hero, before he was “Grandpa Rossy,” David Ross was just another Cubs backup catcher. Well, not “just” another one. He had been signed at the recommendation of Jon Lester, who the Cubs signed to a long-term deal before 2015, as Lester […]
In the Mets’ quest to remake the bullpen after the utter disaster it was in 2024, they signed Devin Williams, former Yankees reliever who had a down season after years of excellence, looking to bring him back to his former glory. And after that signing, and their 2024 signing of Clay Holmes, another former Yankees […]
Two seasons ago, fresh off a 92-win campaign and an NL Central division title, the Milwaukee Brewers traded their best pitcher. Former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes, entering his final year before free agency, was dealt to the Orioles for a fairly underwhelming return. Nonetheless, the Brewers remained the class of their division, in fact […]
Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua are really going to fight on Friday, December 19, headlining a Netflix-streamed card from Miami’s Kaseya Center. The journey to get to this fight was as odd as the matchup itself, which pits a social media celebrity with a questionable but profitable professional boxing career against a former multiple-time world […]
The Blue Jays picked up Tyler Heineman off waivers from the Red Sox in September of 2024, and he got into five games with the Jays, after playing two with the Red Sox. Before that, he played parts of four seasons with three different teams. He had 10 games with the Jays in 2022. He’d […]

Two years ago, as part of my celebration of Chanukah, I examined some of the players who have worn the number eight for the Phillies. For this year’s celebration, I decided to add ten to the number and look at some of the more notable players who have donned 18. One curious thing I discovered: […]
Because the event is held in the middle of Spring Training, it was always a pretty good bet that you would be able to get some of the best position players to represent your country in the World Baseball Classic. The games are more meaningful and more intense, but the injury risk isn’t fundamentally different.
But getting the best pitchers is a dramatically different story, given the nature of ramping up for a competitive season. Getting yourself into a position to max out your effort in ...
Down the stretch they come. The 49ers’ final three-game stretch kicks off Monday night in Indianapolis as Philip Rivers tries to keep the Colts’ playoff chances alive. Given the struggles slowing down the run, Jonathan Taylor and the Colts’ rushing attack provide a concerning challenge for the 49ers’ run defense. On the other side of […]
There have been many contentious Braves in the last few decades of Braves fandom, but the guy bearing the mantle right now is almost certainly Sean Murphy. Acquired in an out-of-nowhere deal ahead of the 2023 season when the Braves were seemingly set at catcher, Murphy’s signature style of swing-out-of-his-shoes slugging and stellar saves defensively […]
LOS ANGELES – A full postseason share for the Dodgers, who won the World Series for a second straight season, is worth $484,747.57 in 2025, part of a total $128.2 million player pool for the postseason, a source confirmed to True Blue LA. Players’ share of the postseason pool is determined by gate receipts from […]
Aside from perhaps only the Jackie Robinsons and Babe Ruths of the baseball canon, few other names are tossed around as frequently as that of Tommy John. Although his ubiquitous acknowledgement comes more from a revolutionary medical procedure than a reputation as a player, Tommy John stuck in the big leagues for more than a […]
Seeking a solution to the lack of outfield offense, the Royals went out and acquired a trio of players in advance of the 2025 trade deadline. The results varied, but I admired the attempt to do … something. Those guys, the subjects of this article, are Mike Yastrzemski, Randal Grichuk, and Adam Frazier. Yaz was […]

Speaking on El Larguero (Cadena SER), former Real Madrid player and analyst Alvaro Benito explained why Madrid continue to struggle to put matches away, regardless of the opponent.

The Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants put out their first injury reports of the week yesterday as they prepare for this weekend’s game at MetLife Stadium. Let’s take a look at who’s practicing and who’s not, and in what capacity. Minnesota Vikings Both Bartholomew and Chandler are in their 21-day practice windows for […]
I’m going to reiterate something up front that I said in the Bullets, but which I think provides really important context for all discussions of what contract Alex Bregman may or may not be able to get in free agency: Alex Bregman’s deal with the Red Sox was not “three years and $120 million, for a $40 million AAV.” It was massively deferred, and the ACTUAL VALUE – as calculated by the union for luxury tax purposes – was three years and just $95 million, for a $31.7 million AAV. That’s a big d...
Time brings the mighty low. It makes the tall stoop, the proud humble themselves. We know this implicitly. We just wish it wouldn’t apply to our free agent signings. Enter Adolis García. At the end of the 2023 season he was riding a great Texas-sized wave, hoisting a Gold Glove, the ALCS MVP trophy, and […]

We have a quartet of Blue Jays’ birthdays today. Jim Clancy would have turned 70 (but he died in July of this year), Roy Howell turns 72, Jeremy Accardo turns 44, and Willie Blair turns 60. Clancy was an original Jay, picked up in the expansion draft in 1976. The Jays called him up in […]
